Middle Atlantic SW 1U 12A 120V(8)5-20R 5-15P - LP-61110

Middle Atlantic LP-61110 1U Horizontal Switched Rack PDU

The Middle Atlantic LP-61110 is a 1U horizontal rackmount switched power distribution unit delivering 15 amps at 120 VAC across eight NEMA 5-20R receptacles — purpose-built for AV, security, and IT rack environments where per-outlet switching matters and TAA compliance is required. If you're managing a rack full of NVRs, network switches, or AV gear and need the ability to remotely power-cycle individual loads without pulling equipment or dispatching a technician, the LP-61110 (often searched as LP 61110) is the unit to evaluate.

Key Features

• 8 × NEMA 5-20R Switched Outlets: Each outlet is individually switched, so you can cut power to a hung NVR or reboot a frozen encoder without disturbing the rest of the rack. Eight outlets is the right count for a fully populated 1U security rack — enough for an NVR, PoE switch, UPS bypass, and several ancillary devices without daisy-chaining strips.
• 15A / 120 VAC Circuit Rating: At 15 amps on a standard 120V circuit, the LP-61110 handles the aggregate draw of a typical security or AV equipment rack. Keep total connected load under 12A continuous (80% NEC rule) to avoid nuisance trips — that leaves real headroom for burst-start inrush on recorders and switches.
• NEMA 5-15P Input Plug: The 5-15P plug connects directly to any standard 15A duplex wall outlet or PDU input — no step-down adapter, no special panel circuit required. This simplifies both initial installation and future moves to a different rack or room.
• 9.84 ft (3m) Cord: The 3-meter cord gives you genuine flexibility in rack placement. Shorter cords force the rack against the nearest outlet; 3 meters reaches across most IDF closets and server rooms to a dedicated power circuit without an extension cord.
• 1U Horizontal Rackmount Form Factor: Mounts flush in a standard 19-inch rack bay. Horizontal orientation keeps the cord exit clean and the outlet faces accessible from the front or rear depending on rack configuration. Black and silver finish integrates with standard rack aesthetics.
• TAA Compliant: Meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the LP-61110 eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal procurement — important if you're building out government facilities, law enforcement installations, or any project governed by GSA schedules.
• Compact 2-inch Depth Profile: At only 2 inches deep (5.1 cm), this unit doesn't consume meaningful rack depth. In shallow-depth wall-mount enclosures or tight telecom racks where depth is the binding constraint, this matters more than it might seem.

Integration & Compatibility

The LP-61110 is part of the Middle Atlantic power management lineup, a family known in the commercial AV and security integration trades for rack-ready build quality. As a rackmount PDU, it fits any standard EIA 19-inch rack and pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic racks and enclosures. The NEMA 5-20R receptacles accept both 5-20P and 5-15P plugs, so virtually all standard rack equipment plugs in without adapters — an important detail when you're populating a rack with mixed equipment from different vendors.

For installations where remote power management is being planned alongside physical infrastructure, consider pairing this unit with a managed PoE switch to complete the remotely-serviceable stack. If you're designing a security rack from scratch, review a rack power planning guide to properly size circuits before specifying PDUs — the LP-61110's 15A rating is the starting constraint, not an afterthought. For deployments requiring battery backup ahead of this PDU, it integrates cleanly with upstream UPS units using a standard NEMA 5-15P input connection.

The switched outlet architecture is the key differentiator over basic non-switched PDUs. Without per-outlet switching, a remote power cycle requires either a smart UPS with outlet control or a physical site visit. For remote or hard-to-access installations — rooftop security closets, parking structure ITR rooms, or multi-site retail deployments — that difference translates directly into reduced truck rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the LP-61110 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The LP-61110 carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government procurement under GSA schedules and similar programs.

Q: What plug type does the LP-61110 use, and what outlets does it have?

A: The LP-61110 uses a NEMA 5-15P input plug (fits any standard 15A wall outlet) and provides eight NEMA 5-20R receptacles. The 5-20R receptacles accept both 5-20P and standard 5-15P device plugs.

Q: How many amps can the LP-61110 handle?

A: The LP-61110 is rated for 15 amps at 120 VAC. Per NEC guidelines, keep continuous load at or below 12 amps (80% of rated capacity) to avoid tripping the upstream breaker under sustained load.

Q: What is the cord length on the LP-61110?

A: The input cord is 9.84 feet (3 meters), providing enough reach to connect to a dedicated wall circuit or PDU input without requiring an extension cord in most rack room layouts.

Q: Does the LP-61110 fit a standard 19-inch rack?

A: Yes. The LP-61110 is a 1U horizontal unit designed for standard EIA 19-inch rack mounting. Its depth is only 2 inches (5.1 cm), making it compatible with both full-depth and shallow-depth rack enclosures.

Q: Can the LP-61110 be used in government or public-sector projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance means the LP-61110 qualifies for government procurement. It is also FCC-listed, supporting regulatory requirements for federal and institutional installations.

James Everett

The LP-61110 gets specified on a lot of my security rack builds specifically because of the switched outlet architecture combined with TAA compliance — two things that rarely conflict but both matter on government and institutional contracts. The 15A/120V rating with eight 5-20R outlets covers a standard NVR rack cleanly, and the 3-meter cord eliminates one of the most common field headaches: a PDU that can't reach the dedicated circuit without a cord extender.

Technical Highlights:

• Per-Outlet Switching: Individually switched 5-20R outlets allow selective power cycling of specific rack devices — reboot a frozen NVR without cutting power to the switch feeding your cameras.
• 15A / 120 VAC Rating: Matched to a standard 15A branch circuit; run at 80% (12A) continuous to stay within NEC code and avoid nuisance breaker trips during equipment startup inrush.
• 2-inch Depth, 1U Height: The shallow 2-inch profile fits in wall-mount enclosures and IDF closets where full-depth rack gear simply won't go — a genuine installation advantage in retrofit projects.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 5-15P input plug is a 15A connection — verify your dedicated circuit and upstream UPS output are both 15A-rated before spec'ing this unit into a rack that may grow beyond 12A continuous draw.
• The 5-20R receptacles accept 5-15P plugs, but if any of your equipment uses 5-20P plugs specifically, confirm the load won't push the aggregate above the 15A circuit rating — mixing plug types makes it easy to undercount total draw.

For a security integrator building out a remote site — a parking structure, a retail branch, or a municipal facility — the LP-61110's TAA compliance and switched outlets make it the right PDU when the project requires government-compliant gear and remote power management without a technician on call.
