Middle Atlantic PWR-8-V Vertical 8-Outlet Power Strip
Overview
The Middle Atlantic PWR-8-V is a corded, vertical-mount power strip delivering 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets at 15A/120VAC — purpose-built for rack-mounted AV and security equipment where horizontal space is limited and clean vertical power distribution matters. At just 1.62 in wide × 18.32 in tall, the PWR-8-V mounts flush inside standard Middle Atlantic rack enclosures without consuming a full rack unit, freeing that space for active equipment. The silver finish matches Middle Atlantic rack aesthetics. If you're populating a NVR rack or AV head-end with multiple low-draw devices — switchers, media converters, small encoders — the PWR-8-V keeps all eight on a single 5-15P cord rather than daisy-chaining adapters. Not TAA compliant; confirm procurement requirements before ordering for federal projects.
Compatibility
Designed to fit inside Middle Atlantic rack and credenza enclosures that accept vertical power accessories — including the Essex series and standard EIA-310 relay rack builds. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to any standard 15A/120VAC branch circuit. Outlets are NEMA 5-15R, accommodating the majority of AV and security camera power adapters, NVR power bricks, and network switch supplies with standard two- or three-prong plugs. Not compatible with 20A circuits without an adapter, and not rated for 240VAC equipment — confirm device draw totals stay under 15A aggregate before loading all eight outlets. For higher-amperage requirements or rack power distribution with surge protection or remote monitoring, consider higher-capacity units in the power distribution category.
Installation Notes
Mounts vertically inside compatible Middle Atlantic enclosures; confirm your enclosure model supports PWR-8-V vertical power accessory mounting before ordering. Corded design — the 5-15P cord runs to a standard wall or rack PDU outlet. Shipping weight is 2.4 lbs; the compact 1.62 in × 1.63 in cross-section keeps rack cable management clean.
