Middle Atlantic 6IN EVO Surface CVR Assy - 6CTC2GY

Middle Atlantic 6CTC2GY 6-In EVO Surface Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6CTC2GY is a surface-mount cover assembly for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru device series — the finish piece that completes a clean, professional floor or table installation in boardrooms, training spaces, and AV-integrated conference environments. At 7.25 × 7.25 in with a slim 1.16 in depth profile, the 6CTC2GY sits nearly flush against the surface, keeping cabling infrastructure out of sight without requiring a recessed cutout. If you are specifying Middle Atlantic AV infrastructure or working through a broader poke-thru device installation, this cover is the correct mating assembly for the 6CT Evolution series.

Key Features

• Surface-Mount Cover Style: Designed for installations where routing a full recessed box is impractical — slab floors, raised access flooring with limited depth clearance, or retrofit jobs where cutting deeper is not an option. The surface profile keeps the assembly compliant with finished-floor aesthetics without a sub-floor cavity.
• 7.25 × 7.25 In Footprint: The square form factor fits standard single-gang and modular device openings in the 6CT Evolution poke-thru family. Verify your base unit dimensions before ordering — this cover is sized for the 6-inch Evolution series specifically.
• 1.16 In Depth (3 cm): The shallow stack height means the cover does not create a significant trip hazard or snagging point above the finished surface. Relevant in high-traffic areas like training rooms or open-plan offices where a taller profile would be a liability concern.
• Gray Finish: The neutral gray color coordinates with commercial carpet tile, concrete, and standard office furniture finishes, reducing the visual footprint of the infrastructure in client-facing spaces.
• Standard Receptacle Type: Accepts standard receptacle modules — no proprietary inserts required. This keeps your outlet and data module options open across common manufacturer lines compatible with the 6CT Evolution base.
• TAA Non-Compliant: The 6CTC2GY is not TAA compliant. If the installation is in a federal facility or requires TAA-compliant infrastructure under a government contract, verify before specifying — a TAA-compliant cover variant may be required.

Integration & Compatibility

The 6CTC2GY is engineered as the surface cover assembly for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru device series. It is not a universal cover — confirm that your base poke-thru unit is the 6CT Evolution series before ordering. For AV and security integrators pairing this with structured cabling infrastructure or AV furniture and mounting solutions, the Evolution series supports a range of data, power, and AV pass-thru modules within the same footprint. Consult the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution configuration guide to verify module compatibility before finalizing your parts list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What poke-thru base unit does the 6CTC2GY cover fit?

A: The 6CTC2GY is the surface cover assembly for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru device series. It is not a universal cover — confirm your base unit is from the 6CT Evolution family before ordering.

Q: Is the 6CTC2GY TAA compliant?

A: No. The 6CTC2GY is not TAA compliant. Federal installations or government contracts requiring TAA-compliant components should verify whether a compliant variant is available before specifying this SKU.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 6CTC2GY?

A: The cover measures 7.25 in × 7.25 in (18.4 cm × 18.4 cm) with a depth of 1.16 in (3 cm).

Q: What color is the 6CTC2GY?

A: Gray. The neutral finish coordinates with standard commercial flooring and office environments.

Q: Does the 6CTC2GY require proprietary receptacle modules?

A: No — the 6CTC2GY uses a standard receptacle type, keeping your module options open across common lines compatible with the 6CT Evolution base unit.

Marty Allison

The 6CTC2GY comes up most often in retrofit jobs where someone has already committed to the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution base and needs the surface cover to finish the installation cleanly. At 1.16 in of stack height above the finished surface, it is one of the lower-profile options available for surface-mount poke-thru completions — relevant when ADA clearance or trip-hazard liability is a real concern at the site.

Technical Highlights:

• 7.25 × 7.25 In Square Footprint: Matches the 6CT Evolution base exactly — no shimming, no adapter plates. Dimensional match is why you spec the OEM cover rather than a third-party substitute.
• 1.16 In Surface Profile: At 3 cm above the floor, this cover sits low enough to pass most facility walkway clearance reviews without a variance. Taller aftermarket covers in the same category often run 1.5–2 in and require additional approval in high-foot-traffic installs.
• Standard Receptacle Compatibility: No proprietary locking modules means you can populate the base with commodity power and data inserts rather than being forced into a captive accessory ecosystem.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 6CTC2GY is series-specific — it mates to the 6CT Evolution base, not to older Middle Atlantic poke-thru generations. Pull the base unit part number before ordering the cover; a mismatch here is a return and a project delay.
• TAA non-compliance is a hard stop for federal work. If the job is a GSA schedule project or a DoD facility, flag this before it hits the submittal — a TAA-compliant variant will need to be sourced separately.

This cover is the right call for commercial AV and conference room builds on the 6CT Evolution platform where surface-mount is the only viable installation method and a low-profile, neutral-finish result is required by the end-user's facilities team.
