Middle Atlantic 6IN EVO Surface CVR Assy - 6CTC2BKTR

Middle Atlantic 6CTC2BKTR 6-in EVO Surface Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6CTC2BKTR is a surface-mount cover assembly designed for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru device series. At 7.75 in wide by 7.25 in tall, it provides a clean, professional finish over flush-floor or surface-mounted power and data poke-thru installations — the kind of detail that separates a polished conference room, executive suite, or open-office AV deployment from a rough-in job. The 6CTC2BKTR ships in black and is built around tamper-resistant receptacles, making it appropriate for environments where unauthorized access to power outlets is a real concern.

Middle Atlantic's EVO poke-thru line is engineered for commercial AV and technology integration work. This cover assembly is the user-facing component of that system — what occupants touch and see every day. Specifying the right cover at the design stage avoids costly field substitutions after the floor slab or furniture is set.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style (7.75 in × 7.25 in): The surface-mount profile sits above the finished floor or surface rather than recessing flush, which simplifies installation in concrete, raised-access, or finished wood floors where core-drilling depth is limited. The footprint is sized for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru body — confirm your rough-in matches before ordering.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: TR outlets require simultaneous depression of both shutter slots to accept a plug, blocking single-prong insertion attempts. Required by NEC 406.12 in commercial occupancies (offices, schools, hospitality) — specifying a non-TR cover in those environments creates a code compliance issue at inspection.
• Black Finish: Matches dark furniture, black conference tables, and black cable management systems without a surface color mismatch. If your installation calls for a light finish, verify alternate colorway availability in the Middle Atlantic product line before finalizing the finish schedule.
• TAA Non-Compliant: The 6CTC2BKTR is not TAA compliant. For federal government, GSA schedule, or DoD installations with TAA sourcing requirements, do not specify this model — identify a TAA-compliant alternative in the EVO cover family instead.
• EVO Series Compatibility: Designed as a matched cover for Middle Atlantic's 6CT Evolution poke-thru devices — not a universal fit. Mixing cover assemblies across poke-thru generations or brands risks misalignment, improper retention, and failed inspections.

Integration & Compatibility

The 6CTC2BKTR is the cover assembly component for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru system. It does not include the poke-thru body, power module, or data inserts — those are specified and ordered separately based on the power and data requirements of the installation. For AV integration projects, this cover typically pairs with Middle Atlantic's cable management and AV furniture solutions as part of a coordinated infrastructure package. Confirm compatibility with the specific 6CT Evolution body variant in your project's BOM before procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 6CTC2BKTR TAA compliant?

A: No. The 6CTC2BKTR is not TAA compliant. Do not specify this model for federal, GSA, or DoD projects with TAA sourcing requirements.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 6CTC2BKTR cover assembly?

A: The cover measures 7.75 in (19.7 cm) wide by 7.25 in (18.4 cm) tall.

Q: What color does the 6CTC2BKTR ship in?

A: Black.

Q: Does the 6CTC2BKTR include tamper-resistant receptacles?

A: Yes. The 6CTC2BKTR uses tamper-resistant receptacles, which are required by NEC 406.12 in most commercial occupancies.

Q: Does the 6CTC2BKTR include the poke-thru body or power modules?

A: No. This is the cover assembly only. The poke-thru body, power modules, and data inserts are ordered separately from the 6CT Evolution product family.

Q: What poke-thru system is the 6CTC2BKTR designed for?

A: It is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru series. It is not a universal cover and should not be substituted onto other poke-thru brands or generations.

James Everett

The 6CTC2BKTR is one of those line items that gets glossed over in a BOM until something goes wrong at punch-out. The tamper-resistant receptacle requirement is the spec that matters most here — NEC 406.12 mandates TR outlets in virtually every commercial occupancy, and a cover assembly that ships with non-TR receptacles creates a re-work item at final inspection. This one handles that correctly out of the box.

Technical Highlights:

• Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: Complies with NEC 406.12 commercial requirements — dual-shutter design blocks single-prong insertion, eliminating a common inspection failure point in office and hospitality deployments.
• Surface Cover Style: The above-floor surface mount approach avoids the depth constraints of a fully recessed cover — useful on concrete slabs or raised-access floors where core-drill depth is limited by structural clearance.
• 7.75 in × 7.25 in Footprint: Sized specifically for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru body. The precise fit matters — an undersized or oversized cover on a finished floor surface is a visible defect that requires the whole assembly to come back out.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 6CTC2BKTR is the cover assembly only — budget separately for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru body, power modules, and data inserts. A common procurement error is ordering only the cover and discovering the body is a separate line item at rough-in.
• TAA non-compliant — flag this early on any project with federal funding, GSA procurement, or government end-user requirements. Substituting a non-TAA part after award creates a compliance audit risk.

This cover is the right specification for commercial AV integration projects — conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-office collaborative spaces — where a black surface finish, code-compliant TR receptacles, and a matched EVO series fit are all required in the same unit.
