Middle Atlantic PD-815SC – Slim High Density Power Strip Series

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic PD-815SC Series is a slim high density power strip designed for simpler power requirements in equipment racks and AV furniture. Each model in this series provides eight outlets on a single 15 amp circuit in a lightweight, compact housing that saves space and weight inside the enclosure. The series includes 10-foot and 20-foot cord versions with basic surge protection, a no-surge version, and a shelf mount model, so integrators can match the power strip to the installation.

Product Description

Not every rack needs a full-feature PDU, and the PD-815SC Slim High Density Strip Series fills that gap with a single-circuit power distribution option that keeps cost, size, and weight down. The high density outlet arrangement supports demanding installations where multiple power supplies and adapters must connect in a confined rack or credenza. Each strip ships with a SignalSAFE power cord, Middle Atlantic's cord designed to reduce power-related interference concerns in AV systems, along with mounting hardware for installation right out of the box. The slim vertical profile tucks along the rack rail or enclosure side, preserving rackspaces for revenue equipment while keeping outlets close to the gear they feed. Within the series, the PD-815SC provides 8 outlets at 15 amps with basic surge protection and a 10-foot cord; the PD-815SC-20 extends the cord to 20 feet for runs to remote receptacles; the PD-815SC-NS omits surge protection for systems with upstream protection in place; and the PD-815SC-PBSH adapts the same 8-outlet, 15 amp format for shelf mount power applications. The broader PD slim series is offered in 15 and 20 amp single-circuit versions to cover a range of commercial AV power loads. Combine this strip with racks, rackshelves, and cable management from the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks for a complete power and mounting plan.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the PD-815SC and PD-815SC-20?
Both are 8-outlet, 15 amp slim strips with basic surge protection. The PD-815SC has a 10-foot cord, while the PD-815SC-20 has a 20-foot cord for racks located farther from the receptacle.

When should I choose the PD-815SC-NS?
The NS model omits surge protection. It suits installations where surge protection is already provided upstream, such as systems fed by a protected PDU or power conditioner.

What is the PD-815SC-PBSH used for?
The PBSH is the shelf mount version of the series, bringing the same 8-outlet, 15 amp single-circuit power to shelf-based equipment mounting applications.

Will this strip work in non-Middle Atlantic racks?
Yes. The slim profile and included mounting hardware allow installation in standard equipment racks and AV furniture, though it pairs most directly with Middle Atlantic enclosures.

What is a SignalSAFE power cord?
SignalSAFE is the Middle Atlantic power cord included with the series, designed for use in AV installations where power and signal cabling run in close proximity.
