Middle Atlantic 1 1/2 Gang 8A Activate Plate - 6ACT8A

Middle Atlantic 6ACT8A 1½-Gang 8A Activate Outlet Plate

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6ACT8A is a 1½-gang, 8-amp switched outlet plate designed for deployment within the Middle Atlantic Activate power management ecosystem. It provides a field-installable switched AC outlet position — meaning a rack integrator can add or relocate a controlled outlet in an Activate-managed enclosure without running new circuit infrastructure. The 6ACT8A designation encodes the form factor (1½ gang) and the circuit rating (8A), making it the right fit for moderate-draw AV or security loads on a shared Activate switching circuit.

Compatibility

The 6ACT8A is designed for use with Middle Atlantic Activate-series power management systems and their associated rack enclosures and panels. It is intended for integration into Middle Atlantic Activate-compatible rack power management assemblies where switched outlet plates are specified. Verify the target Activate controller's per-outlet amperage allocation against the 8A plate rating before installation — pairing with a circuit supplying more than 8A continuous requires a higher-rated plate. This plate does not substitute for a full Activate switching module; it is a passive outlet-face component that mounts into an existing Activate gang position.

Installation Notes

Install into the designated gang opening on an Activate-compatible rack panel or enclosure. The 1½-gang footprint is specific to Middle Atlantic's Activate plate format — it is not interchangeable with standard single-gang Decora wall plates. Confirm gang count and opening dimensions on the target enclosure before ordering. For multi-outlet rack accessory builds, cross-reference Middle Atlantic's Activate plate lineup to match gang count, amperage, and outlet configuration to the load schedule. Consult the power management planning guide when sizing switched outlet capacity across a rack build.
