Middle Atlantic 20 Outlet Dual 15A Power Strip, Hardwired

Designed for professional AV environments, the Middle Atlantic PDT-2X1015 delivers high-density, reliable power distribution in a slim, rack-ready form. This 20-outlet, dual 15A hardwired power strip is engineered to power an array of rack-mounted gear—from video processors and audio interfaces to production consoles and field monitors—without sacrificing space or performance. Built to the standards of Middle Atlantic’s PDT Series, it combines a robust enclosure, precise fabrication, and intelligent outlet layout to keep cabling organized, reduce clutter, and streamline serviceability in demanding installations. Whether you’re outfitting a broadcast suite, a live-event rack, or a recording studio, this power distribution solution provides clean, centralized power that your equipment can depend on hour after hour.

• High outlet density for versatile equipment provisioning: The PDT-2X1015 packs 20 NEMA 5-15R outlets along a long, slender profile, letting you power multiple devices—routers, patch bays, audio interfaces, monitors, DAS, and more—from a single centralized strip. With 15A total capacity and professional-grade construction, you can allocate power where it’s needed most while minimizing the risk of daisy-chaining or outlet shortages in the rack.
• Hardwired power distribution for cleaner, safer racks: This unit is designed as a hardwired solution, providing a clean connection to your building power without an exposed power cord. Ideal for fixed installations in studios, control rooms, and theater racks, it reduces cable clutter, lowers trip hazards, and simplifies future reconfigurations by keeping power routing inside the rack enclosure.
• Ultra-slim, rack-friendly footprint: The PDT-2X1015 is optimized for space-conscious installations. With a length of 73-1/4" and a shallow 1" depth, it minimizes intrusion into cabinet space while still delivering a full 20 outlets. The 1.3" width ensures a compact footprint that blends seamlessly into standard 19" rack setups, leaving plenty of room for other equipment and cable management accessories.
• Integrated J-Box for tidy wiring and safe terminations: The unit features a dedicated J-Box enclosure measuring 2.1" deep by 2.58" wide, designed to house wiring junctions neatly and safely. This integration supports clean, professional cable runs, easier service access, and compliance with installation practices in busy AV environments.
• Rugged PDT Series construction for reliability: Built to withstand the rigors of daily use in busy studios and performance venues, the PDT Series emphasizes durable hardware, precise tolerances, and long-term durability. The PDT-2X1015’s robust design and dependable performance make it a trusted backbone for complex systems that require consistent power delivery and straightforward maintenance.
