The Middle Atlantic PDT Low Profile Series Vertical Power Strip is a purpose-built 20 Amp, 20-outlet power distribution unit (PDU) engineered for high-density racks in professional AV, data centers, and IT environments. Its ultra-thin, back-of-rack chassis is designed to maximize rack space while keeping power connections conveniently close to the equipment that uses them. Built for reliability in mission-critical installations, the PDT blends rugged construction with a thoughtful layout to streamline deployment, improve airflow, and simplify cable management in demanding settings.
- Ultra-thin, back-of-rack vertical design places all 20 outlets adjacent to the equipment that consumes power, delivering near-field access for power cords and minimizing front-reach clutter. The slim chassis sits tightly against the rear rail, freeing valuable front rack space for servers, switches, storage, and other critical devices, while maintaining easy reach to outlets. This configuration also supports more efficient airflow by reducing gaps behind gear, which is essential in data centers and studio racks.
- 20 outlets at 20 Amps provide scalable power distribution for dense rack environments, supporting mixed loads from compute nodes to networking gear without compromising safety or performance. The adjacent-outlet arrangement shortens power runs, simplifies cable routing, and helps prevent tangling behind the rack, enabling cleaner installations in data centers, broadcast rooms, labs, and professional AV facilities.
- Outlets positioned next to gear shorten power runs and improve cable management, so technicians spend less time chasing cords. This design reduces clutter behind the rack, promotes better airflow, and makes routine maintenance and equipment swaps faster and less disruptive in high-density environments.
- Includes mounting hardware for quick, secure back-of-rack installation; compatible with standard rack systems and engineered to snap into place with minimal tools. The PDT’s rugged steel enclosure with a powder-coated finish resists wear from frequent access and rearrangements, delivering dependable performance in busy environments.
- Rugged construction and professional finish provide durable, long-lasting operation in demanding installations. The low-profile design preserves valuable front-of-rack space for servers, switches, storage, and other gear, while the steel enclosure and protective finish ensure reliable service under continuous load and repeated reconfigurations.

How to install Middle Atlantic PDT Low Profile Series Vertical Power Strip
- Power down and unplug equipment before starting installation; plan outlet alignment to ensure critical devices stay easily accessible after the PDU is mounted.
- Place the PDT in the back of the rack and align its mounting holes with the cage nuts; use the included mounting hardware to secure the PDU firmly to the rack rails.
- Connect the PDT to a properly rated power source; verify that the circuit supports a 20 A load and distribute loads across outlets to avoid overloading any single circuit.
- Route power and data cables neatly along the sides of the rack; use cable management accessories if available to maintain airflow and reduce stress on cables and outlets.
- Power on the equipment and test each outlet to confirm power delivery; monitor for any signs of overheating or tripping and adjust loads as needed to maintain reliable operation.
