Middle Atlantic NEXSYS (20 Amp, 2 Outlet) Compact Power Multi-Stage Surge Protection - PDX-220C

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PDX-220C is a NEXSYS 20A compact PDU delivering two NEMA 5-20R outlets with multi-stage surge protection. Its compact form factor makes it the preferred power solution for behind-display digital signage, kiosks, and space-constrained rack or wall-box installations.

Description

The PDX-220C provides 20-amp, two-outlet power distribution with three-stage MOV surge protection in a housing significantly smaller than traditional 1U rack PDUs. Two mounting options — a clamp and L-brackets — are included and both are compatible with Middle Atlantic Lever Lock plates for tool-free installation inside racks, kiosks, and in-wall boxes. Surge protection status is visible via indicators on the front and side panel. A selectable over/under voltage protection circuit automatically disconnects outlets during voltage events and restores power once voltage returns to safe levels. An IEC inlet allows integrators to select any cord length; a 2-foot cord ships with the unit. Outlet orientation is rotated to prevent DC transformer wall-warts from blocking adjacent outlets.

FAQ

Can the PDX-220C be mounted inside a standard rack?

Yes — using the included L-brackets and a Lever Lock plate (sold separately), the PDX-220C can be tool-free mounted inside any Lever Lock-compatible rack or enclosure.

What triggers the voltage protection circuit?

The dry contact port enables selectable voltage protection. When enabled, outlets shut off automatically during over- or under-voltage events and restore automatically once line voltage returns to the safe range.

Is the 2-foot cord the only option?

The IEC inlet accepts any standard IEC C13 power cord, so you can substitute any cord length appropriate for your installation. Contact Creation Networks for cord options.

How are surge protection status indicators arranged?

Indicators are located on both the front and side of the PDX-220C, allowing surge status to be checked regardless of mounting orientation.
