Middle Atlantic 6IN Flush Style TR CVR Assembly SB - 6CT2SBTR

Middle Atlantic 6CT2SBTR Flush Style Tamper-Resistant Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6CT2SBTR is a flush-style, tamper-resistant cover assembly designed for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru device series — the finishing component that determines both the functional profile and the security posture of a floor-mounted AV or power outlet in a commercial space. At 7.75" wide by 7.25" tall, it sits flat against the floor surface rather than raising above it, which matters in high-foot-traffic environments where a raised cover creates a trip hazard or conflicts with furniture clearance. If you're spec'ing floor boxes for a conference room, boardroom, or open-plan office and need a clean, low-profile finish in a satin brass aesthetic, the 6CT2SBTR is the cover to match against your 6CT Evolution base.

TAA compliance is confirmed for this model, making it a straightforward choice for Middle Atlantic deployments in federal buildings, government offices, or any project operating under GSA Schedule or FAR-sourcing requirements. Satin brass finish integrates with premium interior environments where standard white or black covers would read as institutional rather than architectural.

Key Features

• Flush Cover Style (7.75" x 7.25"): The flush profile sits level with the floor surface — no raised lip to snag chair legs or rolling equipment, and no ADA-visibility tripping concern. Correct choice for carpeted or hard-floor installations where furniture is pushed against floor outlets. If you need the cover to stand proud of the floor for easier opening, look at a raised-style variant in the 6CT family instead.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: TR-rated outlets require simultaneous pressure on both slots to allow insertion, blocking foreign-object insertion by children or unauthorized users. In K-12 facilities, healthcare waiting areas, or any public-access environment, TR receptacles are required by NEC 406.12 for 15A and 20A receptacles in certain spaces — this cover satisfies that requirement at the outlet level without retrofitting the base unit.
• Satin Brass Finish: Specifying finish at the cover level means you can match the broader hardware palette of the room — door hardware, furniture legs, AV rack trim — without replacing the entire floor box. The 6CT2SBTR specifically targets environments where brushed nickel or satin brass is the dominant metal finish rather than chrome or matte black.
• TAA Compliant: Confirmed TAA compliance means procurement under GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts and DoD, federal civilian, and many state/local government projects can proceed without a country-of-origin waiver. If your project requires Buy American Act or TAA compliance documentation, this model is eligible — verify with your contracting officer for project-specific requirements.
• 6CT Evolution Series Compatibility: The 6CT2SBTR is a cover assembly for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru device platform — it does not function as a standalone unit. Correct matching to the base unit is required; confirm your base is in the 6CT Evolution series before ordering this cover.
• Compact Shipping Footprint (11.5" x 11.5" x 2"): Ships flat in a minimal box — straightforward to inventory on-site during phased construction and stack without damage. Low shipping volume per unit keeps freight costs manageable when ordering multiples for a large open-plan deployment.

Integration & Compatibility

The 6CT2SBTR is engineered as a cover assembly for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-thru series. Poke-thru devices require a floor box base (sold separately) that is installed into a core-drilled hole in the concrete or raised-access floor, with the cover assembly completing the installation at the surface level. Verify the specific 6CT Evolution base model you have on-site before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers multiple base configurations (power only, power + data, power + AV) and the cover assembly must match the base's port layout and diameter.

For projects integrating AV infrastructure with structured cabling, ensure that the data or AV modules specified in the base unit are compatible with your patch panel or network switching infrastructure before finalizing the cover style. The flush cover style affects access — consider whether frequent access to the receptacles is needed, as a flush cover in a high-traffic area can be more difficult to open than a hinged or raised alternative.

This model is TAA compliant, confirming domestic or qualifying-country manufacture for government procurement contexts. Satin brass finish coordinates with architectural hardware in premium commercial interiors. If your project requires a different finish (white, black, stainless, or other metallic), select the matching cover SKU from the 6CT Evolution cover family rather than this specific model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 6CT2SBTR TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 6CT2SBTR is confirmed TAA compliant, making it eligible for use in federal, DoD, and GSA Schedule projects requiring Trade Agreements Act sourcing. Verify project-specific documentation requirements with your contracting officer.

Q: What is the cover style of the 6CT2SBTR — flush or raised?

A: The 6CT2SBTR uses a flush cover style, meaning it sits level with the surrounding floor surface. This is the correct choice for low-profile, trip-hazard-free installations in furniture-dense or high-traffic environments. If you need a raised profile for easier access, select a raised-style cover variant in the 6CT Evolution family.

Q: Does the 6CT2SBTR include tamper-resistant receptacles?

A: Yes. The receptacle type is tamper-resistant (TR), which requires simultaneous pressure on both contact slots to allow plug insertion. This satisfies NEC 406.12 requirements for TR receptacles in applicable spaces such as K-12 schools, healthcare waiting areas, and other public-access environments.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the 6CT2SBTR?

A: The cover assembly measures 7.75 inches wide by 7.25 inches tall. Shipping dimensions are 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" (292.1 x 292.1 x 50.8 mm).

Q: What finish is the 6CT2SBTR available in?

A: The 6CT2SBTR is finished in satin brass. If your project requires a different metallic or painted finish, select the corresponding cover SKU from the 6CT Evolution cover assembly lineup.

Q: Is the 6CT2SBTR a standalone floor box or a cover assembly only?

A: It is a cover assembly only. The 6CT2SBTR is designed to pair with a compatible 6CT Evolution poke-thru base unit, which is sold separately. It does not function as a standalone product — the base must be installed before the cover is fitted.

James Everett

The 6CT2SBTR is a straightforward spec decision once you confirm the base unit — it's the flush, satin brass, tamper-resistant cover for the 6CT Evolution poke-thru platform, and those three attributes together define the entire selection criteria. At 7.75" wide by 7.25" tall, it's a substantial cover plate, and the flush profile is the key differentiator against raised alternatives in the family.

Technical Highlights:

• Flush Cover Profile: Sits level with the floor — no raised edge means no furniture clearance issue and no trip-hazard exposure in open-plan environments where OSHA compliance and ADA surface requirements are both in play.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: TR outlets require simultaneous dual-slot pressure to accept a plug, directly satisfying NEC 406.12 in public-access and institutional environments without any field modification to the base unit.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed for this SKU — straightforward inclusion in GSA MAS, federal civilian, and DoD procurement without a country-of-origin waiver process.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 6CT2SBTR is a cover assembly only — it ships without a base unit. Confirm the 6CT Evolution base is already on-hand or on order before pulling this SKU into a purchase order; mismatched bases and covers are the most common ordering error on poke-thru projects.
• Satin brass is a specific finish commitment — if the interior design standard changes between spec and install, there is no field-refinishing option. Lock the finish decision with the interior architect before ordering multiples.

Best fit: premium commercial interiors — law firm conference rooms, financial services trading floors, executive boardrooms — where satin brass hardware is already the specified metal finish and NEC TR compliance is required for public or semi-public access areas.
