Middle Atlantic PD-2415SC - Slim High-Density Strip Power Series

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic PD-2415SC is a slim, high-density strip power distribution unit engineered for professional AV and IT rack installations where power capacity and space efficiency are equally critical. It delivers 24 individually controlled outlets in a compact form factor that maximizes usable rack space while meeting the demanding power management requirements of enterprise AV, broadcast, and data center environments. The PD-2415SC is designed for integrators and IT managers who need reliable, organized power distribution across densely populated rack systems.

Product Description

The PD-2415SC Slim High-Density Strip Power Series PDU from Middle Atlantic addresses the fundamental challenge of distributing clean, reliable power to a large number of rack-mounted devices without sacrificing rack real estate. The 24-outlet configuration handles the power requirements of fully populated rack systems that include amplifiers, processors, switches, media players, and control equipment simultaneously. The slim form factor mounts within a standard rack space footprint, preserving additional rack units for equipment rather than power infrastructure. Individual outlet control allows technicians to sequence power-on and power-off events to prevent inrush current surges that can trip upstream circuit breakers during system startup. Surge suppression circuitry protects downstream equipment from transient voltage events that could cause equipment damage or data loss in unprotected rack systems. The unit's power filtering reduces electrical noise that can degrade audio signal quality in sensitive AV installations, a critical requirement in recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement environments. EMI/RFI filtering attenuates interference from adjacent rack equipment and building electrical systems, maintaining clean power delivery across all 24 outlets. An integrated 15-amp circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection and allows on-site circuit reset without requiring an electrician or building systems access. The PD-2415SC's construction meets Middle Atlantic's commercial-grade quality standards, with outlets, wiring, and chassis rated for continuous duty in 24/7 operational environments. AV integrators and IT infrastructure managers specify the PD-2415SC in any rack build where high outlet count, power conditioning, and space efficiency must be achieved simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the maximum continuous load for the PD-2415SC? The PD-2415SC is protected by a 15-amp circuit breaker. For continuous operation, total connected load should not exceed 80% of the breaker rating, or 12 amps, per standard electrical code practice for continuous loads.
• Does the PD-2415SC support remote management or monitoring? The SC designation indicates a switched, controlled configuration. Contact creationnetworks.net to confirm whether network management features are available for this specific model variant.
• Can the PD-2415SC be used with standard 15-amp and 20-amp circuits? The PDU is designed for standard 15-amp branch circuit connection. Confirm your facility's circuit rating with your electrician before installation to ensure compatibility.
• Is the surge suppression replaceable after a surge event? Middle Atlantic designs its surge suppression components for long service life, but after a significant surge event it is recommended to inspect the unit and contact creationnetworks.net for a service assessment.
• Where can I purchase the PD-2415SC and related Middle Atlantic accessories? The PD-2415SC and the full Middle Atlantic product line are available through creationnetworks.net, an authorized Middle Atlantic reseller serving AV integrators and IT professionals.
