• Concentrated power management for AV equipment: The PD Series consolidates power distribution in one rugged, rack-ready unit, reducing cable clutter and making it easier to monitor and manage power for all connected devices. With a dedicated, centralized power hub, you can simplify diagnostics, quickly identify which devices are drawing power, and minimize the risk of overloading individual circuits. This streamlined approach helps maintain peak performance for projectors, displays, receivers, media players, and other essential AV gear, allowing you to deliver smoother presentations, clearer video, and more reliable live performances.
• Surge protection and EMI filtering for sensitive gear: Designed for professional environments, the PD Series provides surge protection to guard connected equipment against voltage spikes, brownouts, and other power disturbances. In addition, EMI/RFI filtering minimizes electrical noise and interference that can degrade audiovisual quality. By preserving signal integrity at the source, this PDU helps maintain pristine picture and sound, reduces hiccups during playback, and helps your gear operate within its best performance envelope even in electrically noisy venues.
• Nine outlets in a 19-inch rack footprint: The 9-outlet configuration is arranged to optimize accessibility and organization within a standard 19-inch rack. This layout makes it easy to group critical devices together while leaving space for future expansion. The PDU’s front-access outlets simplify cable management and maintenance, so technicians can swap, upgrade, or repair components without disturbing the entire rack. The compact 15 Amp design is ideal for mid-to-large AV setups that require robust power distribution without sacrificing rack space.
• Rugged, AV-focused design for demanding environments: Built to withstand the rigors of studio, stage, classroom, and event deployments, the PD Series PDU is purpose-built for AV applications. Its sturdy construction, rack-mount compatibility, and attention to cable management help maintain a clean, professional setup. This reliability translates into fewer on-site power issues, less downtime, and a better overall experience for audiences, customers, and collaborators who depend on uninterrupted AV performance.
• Simple installation and maintenance with clear organization: The PD Series PDU is designed for straightforward installation and ongoing maintenance. With clear labeling, user-friendly access, and a layout that supports quick device swapping, technicians can perform routine checks, replace failed equipment, and reconfigure power distribution with minimal disruption. The centralized, organized power distribution also makes it easier to perform safety checks, ensure proper grounding, and monitor energy usage across the rack.
