Middle Atlantic 4IN Prewired Surface DUP CR AA - 4ATCP2CRAA

Middle Atlantic 4ATCP2CRAA 4-Inch Prewired Surface Poke-Thru Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 4ATCP2CRAA is a 4-inch prewired, dual-service, surface-mount poke-thru cover assembly designed for commercial AV and structured cabling installations where clean, accessible floor or surface connectivity is required. Part of Middle Atlantic's Evolution Poke-Thru line, the 4ATCP2CRAA ships in a brushed aluminum finish with a surface cover style — meaning it sits flush against the mounting surface rather than recessing into a floor box, making it suited for retrofit installations or raised-floor environments where cutting a new core is not practical.

TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, making the 4ATCP2CRAA a viable choice for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements. If your project has a Buy American or TAA mandate, this unit satisfies it without substitution.

The unit ships in a package measuring 21 inches by 8.25 inches by 8.25 inches (533.4 × 209.6 × 209.6 mm), which is useful for planning staging and storage on larger multi-outlet floor deployments. The brushed aluminum finish is consistent with commercial boardroom, conference center, and open-plan office aesthetics where exposed floor hardware needs to blend with architectural finishes rather than draw attention.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: installs over an existing opening without requiring a recessed floor box — reduces labor on retrofit jobs where core-drilling or box replacement is not an option.
• Prewired Dual-Service Configuration: the 'DUP CR' designation indicates a duplex controlled-receptacle layout; arriving prewired reduces field termination time and keeps installations consistent across multi-station deployments.
• TAA Compliant: verified for this SKU — satisfies Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements for government, education, and defense facility projects without a product substitution or waiver.
• Brushed Aluminum Finish: matches commercial AV furniture and conference room infrastructure; holds up to repeated access without showing wear the way painted finishes do in high-traffic installations.
• 4-Inch Form Factor: fits the standard 4-inch poke-thru cutout common in commercial construction, so it integrates with existing infrastructure without a new core or adapter ring.

Integration and Compatibility

The 4ATCP2CRAA is designed for the commercial AV and structured power connectivity ecosystem. Surface poke-thru devices of this type are typically paired with compatible furniture feed systems and in-floor raceways. Verify the mounting cutout diameter and depth against your existing floor or surface specification before ordering — surface-style covers do not accommodate all sub-floor box depths. For full rack and power distribution planning, review Middle Atlantic rack power accessories to ensure the controlled receptacle circuit aligns with your panel and PDU design.

If your project requires a recessed rather than surface-mount assembly, evaluate the recessed variants in the same poke-thru device category — the surface cover style of the 4ATCP2CRAA is the defining form factor difference and is not interchangeable with recessed-box configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 4ATCP2CRAA TAA compliant?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, making it suitable for federal, state, and municipal procurement projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What does 'Surface' cover style mean on the 4ATCP2CRAA?

A: Surface cover style means the cover assembly mounts over an existing opening and sits flush on the surface rather than recessing into a floor box. This is a retrofit-friendly configuration that does not require a new recessed box.

Q: What finish does the 4ATCP2CRAA come in?

A: The 4ATCP2CRAA ships in brushed aluminum, a commercial-grade finish suited for conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-plan office environments.

Q: What are the shipping dimensions for the 4ATCP2CRAA?

A: The unit ships in a box measuring 21 inches × 8.25 inches × 8.25 inches (533.4 × 209.6 × 209.6 mm).

Q: Can the 4ATCP2CRAA be used on government projects?

A: Yes. The verified TAA compliance on this SKU means it meets the procurement requirements for most U.S. government and federally-funded projects. Confirm your specific contract language, but no waiver or substitution should be required.

Jerry Tildsen

The 4ATCP2CRAA comes up on government and education AV projects specifically because of its verified TAA compliance — that one spec eliminates a procurement hurdle that can stall an otherwise straightforward floor connectivity install. The surface cover style is the other decision point: if the existing floor or table surface already has a 4-inch opening and you're retrofitting rather than building new, the 4ATCP2CRAA drops in without a new box.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: verified on this SKU — no waiver paperwork needed on federal or state-funded projects; it passes procurement screening as-is.
• Surface Cover Style: fits over an existing opening without requiring a recessed floor box install — meaningful on retrofit jobs where opening up a floor for a new box adds significant labor cost.
• Brushed Aluminum Finish: holds appearance under repeated daily access; commercial environments with high foot traffic will see painted finishes chip and wear within months, brushed aluminum does not have that problem.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the existing cutout diameter matches the 4-inch form factor before ordering — surface covers are not universally adjustable and a size mismatch means a new core.
• The shipping box at 21 × 8.25 × 8.25 inches is relatively large for a single cover assembly; account for storage space if staging multiple units on a phased multi-station rollout.

Best fit for conference center and government facility AV integrators working retrofit jobs under TAA procurement requirements — where verified compliance and a no-box surface install are the two constraints that matter most.
