Middle Atlantic PDT-1015C-RN Vertical Rack Power Distribution Strip
Overview
The PDT-1015C-RN is a low-profile vertical rack power distribution strip built for AV and security equipment racks where horizontal real estate is tight and outlet density matters. It delivers 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets on a 15A circuit in an anodized aluminum housing that spans a standard 37.75-inch rack column — so you get full-height outlet coverage without sacrificing a single rack unit to a horizontal PDU. The 2-stage surge protection with status notification means you'll know when protection has been consumed before your equipment is exposed, not after. A 9-foot, 14-gauge cord with right-angled NEMA 5-15P inlet keeps the power run clean at the back of the cabinet without the inlet protruding into cable management lanes. Space-saving clips keep the unit flush against the rack rail during installation.
Compatibility
Designed for integration into Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and open-frame racks that accept vertical PDU mounting — including the Middle Atlantic ERK, RK, and WRK series rack families. The 37.75-inch height aligns with standard full-height vertical PDU channels in these enclosures. The NEMA 5-15P plug (standard 15A/120V) is compatible with any commercial building circuit in North America; no step-down or adapter is required in typical US deployments. Outlet spacing accommodates standard IEC and wall-wart-style adapters commonly found in NVR, switch, and AV equipment power supplies. UL listing confirms suitability for commercial and light-industrial installations; RoHS and Greenguard compliance supports deployments in schools, healthcare, and LEED-certified facilities where restricted-substance and emissions standards apply.
Installation Notes
The vertical low-profile form factor (2.62" W x 1.58" D) is sized to mount inside the vertical PDU channel of compatible rack enclosures — verify your rack model has a dedicated vertical PDU trough before ordering. Right-angled inlet keeps strain off the cord at the back panel. The 9-foot cord length is generous for most floor-standing rack deployments but measure your distance to the wall outlet before install if the rack sits more than 7 feet from the power source. Status notification on the 2-stage surge circuit is passive indicator-based — inspect it during quarterly maintenance cycles.
