Middle Atlantic 4IN Cover Assembly Surface SN - 4CTCSN

Middle Atlantic 4CTCSN Surface Cover Assembly Satin Nickel

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 4CTCSN is a surface-style cover assembly designed for the 4AT Evolution poke-thru device series. If you're finishing a conference room, boardroom, or open-plan workspace with surface-mounted AV and power access points, this cover provides the finished look that keeps the installation looking intentional rather than provisional. The satin nickel finish integrates cleanly with contemporary interior hardware — a small detail that matters on high-visibility installations where the technology is meant to recede into the environment.

TAA compliance makes the 4CTCSN a straightforward choice for federal, state, and local government projects, as well as any enterprise procurement governed by the Trade Agreements Act. You won't need a separate compliance review for this component.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: Designed specifically for surface-mount deployment on the 4AT Evolution series — sits flush against the desk or surface rather than recessing into it, so no core drilling is required at the finish stage. Right choice when the substrate doesn't permit a flush-recessed finish.
• Satin Nickel Finish: Coordinates with brushed metal hardware common in corporate and hospitality environments. Avoids the institutional look of standard white plastic covers on visible conference surfaces.
• Standard Receptacle Type: Accepts standard module inserts compatible with the 4AT surface poke-thru platform — power, data, HDMI, USB-A, and similar modules can be configured into the opening without custom fabrication.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — qualifies for GSA schedule purchasing and federal/state procurement without additional paperwork. A real time-saver on government-bid projects where component-level TAA documentation is required.
• Middle Atlantic AV infrastructure line: Part of the Middle Atlantic poke-thru and surface access ecosystem, which means replacement parts, color-matched accessories, and compatible inserts are available through the same supply chain as your rack and cable management order.

Integration and Compatibility

The 4CTCSN is engineered for the 4AT Surface Style Evolution Poke-Thru platform. Before ordering, confirm your base unit model — the surface cover is not interchangeable with the recessed/flush variant of the 4AT series. If you're specifying this for a conference room AV or AV furniture installation, verify the base device model matches the surface-mount body, not the in-table version.

Module compatibility follows the standard 4AT insert format. Coordinate with your cable management and power distribution plan before finalizing module selection — the cover ships without inserts, and insert availability varies by configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 4CTCSN TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 4CTCSN is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal procurement under GSA schedule contracts.

Q: What cover style is the 4CTCSN — surface or recessed?

A: Surface style. This cover mounts on top of the surface rather than recessing into it. It is designed for the 4AT Surface Style Evolution Poke-Thru series.

Q: What color finish does the 4CTCSN come in?

A: Satin nickel. If you need a different finish, Middle Atlantic offers other cover variants in the 4AT line — confirm the finish code before ordering.

Q: Does the 4CTCSN ship with inserts or modules?

A: No inserts or modules are included. The 4CTCSN is the cover assembly only. Modules for power, data, and AV connections are ordered separately.

Q: What are the shipping dimensions for the 4CTCSN?

A: The 4CTCSN ships in a box measuring 5.63 x 5.63 x 5.5 inches (143.1 x 143.1 x 139.7 mm).

Eden Phillips

The 4CTCSN is the kind of component that gets overlooked in the BOM until a GC calls out a finish mismatch on day one of punch-list. The satin nickel surface cover on this unit is purpose-matched to the 4AT Evolution platform — not a generic afterthought — and the TAA stamp means government-bid projects don't need a separate compliance chase for this line item.

Technical Highlights:

• Surface Mount Design: Sits on top of the surface rather than recessing — correct for installations where the substrate depth or material (glass, thin laminate) won't support a flush-recessed cut.
• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA compliant at the SKU level, which clears the component for GSA and cooperative purchasing contracts without additional documentation per line item.
• Standard Receptacle Format: Compatible with the 4AT standard insert ecosystem — power, data, and AV modules drop in without custom machining or adapter plates.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your base poke-thru unit is the surface-mount variant of the 4AT series before ordering — the surface cover and recessed cover are not interchangeable, and a mis-spec here shows up at final trim, not rough-in.
• Modules are not included. Factor insert lead times into your schedule if you're ordering a custom module mix — the cover ships ready for inserts, but the inserts are a separate line item.

Best fit for corporate conference rooms, government facilities, and hospitality AV builds where finish quality is client-visible and TAA compliance is a procurement requirement — not for back-of-house utility runs where a standard white cover would do.
