Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic PDS-1620R-NS is a 16-outlet, 20A, 3-stage sequenced power distribution unit without surge protection, designed for rack installations where power sequencing is required but upstream surge protection is already in place.
Product Description
The PDS-1620R-NS delivers 3-stage power sequencing across 16 outlets on a 20A circuit, allowing AV integrators to stagger equipment power-on across three independently timed groups. This reduces inrush current and enforces a logical startup order for complex rack systems. The unit is specified without surge protection for deployments where upstream conditioning or surge suppression is handled by a separate device in the signal chain. It mounts in standard 19" EIA racks.
Key Features
- 16 outlets distributed across 3 sequenced stages

FAQ
- Why choose a model without surge protection?
- When a power conditioner or upstream surge suppressor is already part of the rack infrastructure, adding redundant surge stages is unnecessary. The PDS-1620R-NS is specified for those deployments.
- What is 3-stage sequencing?
- Outlets are divided into three groups that power on in sequence with a time delay between each stage, reducing simultaneous inrush current and protecting amplifiers and other sensitive equipment.
- Does this unit have any network control?
- No. The PDS-1620R-NS is a non-networked sequenced PDU. For network control, consider Middle Atlantic RackLink models.
