45W Multi-Mount Universal DC Power Distribution for Small to Medium Devices
45W DC power distribution unit with 12 outputs, providing 5V and 12V power for small to medium devices
The Middle Atlantic PD-DC-45 is a DC Power Distribution unit designed to consolidate messy wall warts and power strips into a single rack-mountable solution for AV, security, and networking applications. This unit provides 45W of total power across 12 outputs, specifically splitting between 5V and 12V DC voltages to support a variety of small to medium devices. The PD-DC-45 features a 120 VAC input with a NEMA 5-15P plug and an included 6 ft (1.8 m) US cord. To protect connected equipment, the unit includes 2-stage surge protection and overload protection on the AC input, alongside auto-resetting PTC overload protection on each individual output. The unit's 1.69 in (4.3 cm) height and 9.93 in (25.2 cm) width allow it to fit into standard rack spaces, while reversible, adjustable mounting ears allow for installation in a typical rack, small enclosure, or wall box. For easier cable management, installers can trim the power cords to a desired length. The unit is equipped with an ultra-quiet, thermostatic temperature-controlled fan that provides automatic speed adjustment to prevent overheating during operation.
