Middle Atlantic PD-815R – 8 Outlet 15A Rackmount Power

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic PD-815R Series is a rackmount power distribution solution that delivers eight rear-panel outlets at 15 amps in a single rack space. A front status pilot light gives technicians at-a-glance confirmation that power is live without pulling the rack. Built-in surge and spike protection plus EMI filtering help safeguard connected AV and IT equipment in commercial installation environments. The series is available in two variants, the PD-815R-PL and PD-815RA-PL, to suit different rack power configurations.

Product Description

Reliable power distribution is the foundation of every equipment rack, and the PD-815R Series handles it without consuming valuable rack real estate. Occupying just one rack space, the unit places all eight distribution outlets on the rear panel, keeping equipment power cords contained behind the rack for clean cable management and a professional finished installation. The front-panel status pilot light confirms the unit is energized, which simplifies troubleshooting during service calls and commissioning. Surge and spike protection defends amplifiers, processors, displays-at-the-rack gear, and control systems against transient voltage events, while EMI filtering reduces electrical noise that can degrade audio and video signal performance. A 9-foot power cord provides generous reach to wall receptacles or floor boxes in equipment rooms and credenza installations. For AV integrators, the PD-815R is a straightforward specification for standard rack builds where conditioned, distributed power is required without networked control. It pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic racks, drawers, and shelving for complete rack integration.
