Middle Atlantic PD-920R-SP 20A Rackmount Power Distribution

The Middle Atlantic PD-920R-SP is a 20A rackmount power distribution unit delivering nine outlets with integrated surge protection in a form factor built for permanent professional installations. The 20A rating is the critical specification here — it means this unit can be connected to a dedicated 20A circuit (NEMA 5-20) and sustain the kind of continuous draw that a full rack of active equipment generates, without the thermal stress or nuisance trips you'd encounter pushing a 15A strip to its limit. Nine outlets give you enough positions to cover a typical single-bay build — router, managed switch, NAS, KVM, signal processors, and a couple of spare positions — without requiring a second PDU and a second circuit.

This PDU is built for systems integrators, broadcast engineers, and IT infrastructure teams who need dependable, no-frills power distribution in a permanent rack. It fits the role of a clean, reliable foundation layer in an AV rack, server closet, or control room where uptime matters more than advanced features like outlet switching or SNMP monitoring. If your workflow demands remote power cycling or real-time load metering, you'll need to step up to Middle Atlantic's managed PDU lineup. But for straightforward installations where the goal is clean, protected power delivery to a fixed equipment set, the PD-920R-SP delivers exactly that without unnecessary complexity.
