Middle Atlantic 6CT2BK 6-Inch EVO Flush Poke-Thru Cover Assembly
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 6CT2BK is a flush-mount cover assembly for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru floor device series — designed for conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-plan workspaces where a clean, low-profile floor finish matters. At 7.25 × 7.25 inches and only 1.16 inches deep, the 6CT2BK sits nearly level with the floor surface, eliminating the tripping hazard and visual clutter of protruding floor boxes. The black finish integrates cleanly into darker flooring environments or design-forward spaces where standard metallic covers would stand out. For integrators sourcing components for the broader Middle Atlantic infrastructure line, this cover is the finish piece that completes a poke-thru installation.
Key Features
- Flush Cover Style (1.16 in depth): At just 1.16 inches (3 cm) deep, this assembly sits flush rather than proud of the floor — meaning no raised edge to catch chair wheels or foot traffic. In high-pedestrian areas like training rooms or open offices, that difference matters for both safety and long-term wear on the cover itself.
- 7.25 × 7.25 in Footprint: The square 7.25-inch profile fits the 6CT Evolution poke-thru rough-in cutout. If you're replacing a cover or specifying a new installation, confirm your floor box cutout matches this footprint before ordering — the fit is model-specific to the 6CT series.
- Standard Receptacle Type: Configured for standard receptacles, which means no adapters or specialty inserts required for typical power and data outlet loadouts. Straightforward to populate with the terminations your AV or IT team is already stocking.
- Black Finish: The black colorway is the practical choice for dark hardwood, polished concrete, or dark tile floors where a brushed-aluminum or stainless cover would read as a visual interruption. Coordinate with flooring finish during the design phase — Middle Atlantic offers the 6CT series in multiple colors for different floor environments.
- TAA Non-Compliant: The 6CT2BK is not TAA compliant. If your project is a federal government installation or a contract that mandates TAA compliance (GSA schedules, DoD facilities), specify a TAA-compliant variant instead. For commercial, corporate, and private-sector installs, this is a non-issue.
Integration & Compatibility
The 6CT2BK is the cover assembly component for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru floor device series. It is designed to pair with the 6CT series floor box body — not a universal fit for other manufacturers' poke-thru cutouts. Before specifying, verify the floor box body model is from the 6CT Evolution line. For complete conference room AV infrastructure planning — including cable management, power distribution, and AV furniture — the 6CT2BK is one finish component in a larger system. Pair it with the appropriate 6CT body and your chosen power/data modules for a complete installation.

Integrators building out full room systems should also consider structured cable management solutions to complement the poke-thru installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 6CT2BK TAA compliant?
A: No. The 6CT2BK is not TAA compliant. Federal government projects or GSA-schedule contracts requiring TAA compliance should specify an alternate variant.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 6CT2BK?
A: The 6CT2BK measures 7.25 inches wide × 7.25 inches tall with a depth of 1.16 inches (approximately 18.4 × 18.4 × 3 cm).
Q: What floor box series is the 6CT2BK designed for?
A: The 6CT2BK is the cover assembly for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru floor device series. It is not a universal cover and is intended to fit the 6CT series floor box body.
Q: What receptacle type does the 6CT2BK support?
A: The 6CT2BK is configured for standard receptacles — no specialty inserts or adapters are required for typical power and data outlet configurations.
Q: Can the 6CT2BK be used in high-traffic areas?
A: The flush cover style (1.16 in depth) is well-suited for high-pedestrian environments because it sits level with the floor surface, reducing trip hazards compared to raised cover designs.
The detail most integrators overlook on the 6CT2BK is that 1.16-inch depth figure — that is a true flush assembly, not a low-profile raised cover. In finished conference rooms with polished concrete or hardwood, the difference between a flush and a raised cover is visible from across the room, and facilities managers will call it out at punch-list. Get the flush variant right the first time.
Technical Highlights:
- Flush Profile (1.16 in / 3 cm): Sits at or near floor level, which is the correct finish specification for AV furniture-forward conference environments where aesthetics and trip-hazard compliance are both on the checklist.
- 7.25 × 7.25 in Square Footprint: Matches the 6CT Evolution series rough-in cutout exactly — no field modification required when replacing an existing 6CT cover or completing a new 6CT body installation.
- Standard Receptacle Configuration: No specialty modules needed for standard power and data loadouts; simplifies procurement and reduces the number of SKUs an integrator needs to manage per room.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 6CT2BK is series-specific — confirm the floor box body is a 6CT Evolution unit before ordering. Attempting to fit this cover on a non-6CT cutout will require field modification or a return.
- TAA non-compliance is a hard stop for federal or GSA contract work. Verify contract requirements before specifying; substituting after rough-in is a costly change order.
The 6CT2BK is the right finish component for commercial conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-plan collaboration spaces on the 6CT Evolution platform — particularly where dark flooring makes the black colorway the clean, specification-correct choice.
