Middle Atlantic 6FF-AFB Raised Floor Furniture Feed Box
The Middle Atlantic 6FF-AFB is a round raised floor furniture feed box from Middle Atlantic's FloorSource line, designed to route low-voltage cabling through raised access floors in commercial environments. At 7 in wide × 7 in deep × 3.25 in tall, the 6FF-AFB sits low enough to clear most raised-floor tile systems while still providing a finished, furniture-grade cable exit point — the kind of detail that matters in open-plan offices, boardrooms, and AV-integrated workspaces where exposed conduit isn't acceptable. For integrators specifying Middle Atlantic structured cabling and enclosure products, the 6FF-AFB fits within the broader FloorSource ecosystem of modular floor box components.
Overview
Raised floor cable management is one of those details that separates a clean, maintainable AV or security installation from one that becomes a liability the moment a tenant reconfigures a room. The 6FF-AFB addresses the furniture-feed segment of that problem — getting cables from the plenum or structured cabling layer up through the floor and to a desk or workstation without creating a trip hazard or an eyesore. It is sized for round raised-floor cutouts and is part of Middle Atlantic's floor box and cable management line.
Key Features
- Compact 3.25 in profile: At 3.25 in (8.3 cm) tall, the box fits within the clearance envelope of most standard raised-floor systems without requiring a tile recess modification — reduces installation labor on retrofit projects.
- 7 in × 7 in footprint: The 7 in × 7 in (17.8 cm × 17.8 cm) square footprint accommodates a round cutout pattern standard to many commercial raised-floor tile systems, keeping the install straightforward on existing infrastructure.
- Furniture-feed application: Purpose-built for routing cabling directly to furniture legs or workstation pedestals, the 6FF-AFB (sometimes searched as 6FF AFB) eliminates the need for surface raceways in open-plan spaces — cleaner finish, easier future moves-adds-changes.
Integration & Compatibility
The 6FF-AFB is designed for use with raised-access floor systems common in commercial office and AV-integrated environments. It pairs with other components in the Middle Atlantic cable management lineup. Confirm cutout diameter and tile thickness compatibility with your specific raised-floor system before ordering — the 7 in body diameter is the key fit dimension. Integrators specifying full AV rack infrastructure should also review the broader AV infrastructure and rack accessories category for companion products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the Middle Atlantic 6FF-AFB?
A: The 6FF-AFB measures 7 in wide × 7 in deep × 3.25 in tall (17.8 cm × 17.8 cm × 8.3 cm).
Q: What type of floor is the 6FF-AFB designed for?
A: The 6FF-AFB is designed for raised access floor systems, specifically for routing low-voltage cabling to furniture or workstations through a raised-floor tile cutout.
Q: Is the 6FF-AFB part of a larger floor box system?
A: Yes — the 6FF-AFB is part of Middle Atlantic's FloorSource line of raised floor boxes and furniture feed components. Confirm compatibility with other FloorSource modules and your specific raised-floor tile system before specifying.
Q: What is the profile height of the 6FF-AFB, and does it work under standard raised-floor tiles?
A: The 6FF-AFB stands 3.25 in (8.3 cm) tall. Verify this height against your raised-floor system's plenum clearance — most standard commercial raised-floor systems accommodate this profile, but tile thickness and sub-structure height vary by manufacturer.
The Middle Atlantic 6FF-AFB is a detail-level product, but it's the kind of detail that determines whether a raised-floor AV or security cable run looks professional or looks like an afterthought. The 3.25 in height spec is the one I always check first against the plenum clearance drawings — get that wrong and you're cutting tiles on-site.
Technical Highlights:
- 3.25 in height (8.3 cm): Low enough to fit standard raised-floor plenum clearances without tile modification on most commercial floor systems — cuts retrofit labor significantly.
- 7 in × 7 in footprint: Matches the round cutout geometry standard to commercial raised-floor tile systems, so you're not fabricating custom cutouts in the field.
- Furniture-feed design: Routes cabling directly to workstation furniture legs or pedestals — the right tool for open-plan offices where surface raceways aren't acceptable to the finish contractor.
Deployment Considerations:
- Always cross-reference the 7 in body dimension against your specific raised-floor tile manufacturer's cutout specification before purchasing — cutout standards vary between Tate, Haworth, and other systems.
- Shipping dimensions confirm 7 in × 3.25 in as the governing envelope; no additional clearance buffer is documented in available evidence, so measure your plenum depth directly.
The 6FF-AFB is the right spec for open-plan commercial office and AV-integrated conference environments where raised-floor infrastructure is already in place and a clean, code-compliant furniture cable exit is required — not a field-improvised solution.
