Middle Atlantic PDS-615R Rackmount Power Sequencer
The PDS-615R is a professional-grade rackmount power sequencer designed for data centers, broadcast facilities, and server rooms that require intelligent power management. This 6-outlet power distribution unit delivers 15A of 115VAC power in a compact 1RU form factor, enabling precise control over equipment startup sequences. By managing the order in which connected devices power on and off, the 6-step sequencing reduces destructive in-rush current spikes that can damage sensitive electronics and shorten equipment lifespan. Whether you're managing multiple servers, audio/video equipment, or network infrastructure, this rackmount power sequencer provides the control and protection your critical systems demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 6-step sequencing and why do I need it?
6-step sequencing allows you to control the power-on order of up to six connected devices with adjustable delays between each step. This prevents in-rush current surges that occur when multiple high-power devices start simultaneously, protecting equipment and reducing circuit breaker trips.
Can the PDS-615R be controlled remotely?
Yes, the PDS-615R rackmount power sequencer supports both local and remote control options, allowing you to manage power sequences from your control room or monitoring station without physical access to the unit.
How does this power sequencer protect my equipment?
By staggering the power-on sequence across six steps with adjustable delays, the unit significantly reduces in-rush current spikes. This protects sensitive electronics, extends equipment lifespan, and prevents power supply failures caused by simultaneous startup loads.
Is the PDS-615R suitable for server room installations?
Absolutely. The compact 1RU form factor, professional-grade construction, and intelligent sequencing make this 6-outlet power distribution unit ideal for server rooms, data centers, broadcast facilities, and any mission-critical environment requiring reliable power management.
