Middle Atlantic 6CFFTCBK 6-Inch Furniture Feed Cover
The Middle Atlantic 6CFFTCBK is a surface-style furniture feed cover designed for the 6AT Evolution Poke-Thru line, providing a clean, professional finish over in-floor and in-desk cable feed points in commercial AV, security, and IT infrastructure deployments. At 7.75 × 7.75 inches with a shallow 1.16-inch depth, it sits flush and unobtrusive in conference rooms, operations centers, and open-plan workspaces where cable management aesthetics matter. If you're finishing a poke-thru installation and need a compliant, purpose-built cover that doesn't draw attention, the 6CFFTCBK is the correct part to specify.
Key Features
- 7.75 × 7.75 in Footprint (19.7 × 19.7 cm): Sized to cover standard 6AT Evolution poke-thru cutouts without overhanging into adjacent workspace — no trimming, no custom fabrication required on a standard installation.
- 1.16-in (3 cm) Depth: The shallow profile means the cover sits nearly flush with desk or floor surfaces, eliminating trip hazards and preventing interference with equipment placed directly above the feed point.
- Black Finish: Matches the majority of commercial furniture and flooring finishes used in enterprise and government facilities — reduces the visual noise that mismatched hardware colors create in client-facing spaces like boardrooms and control centers.
- TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the 6CFFTCBK eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal government procurement contracts. If your project is government-funded or subject to FAR/DFARS sourcing requirements, this is a required specification to verify — and it checks out here.
- Surface-Style Cover Design: Built for the Evolution Poke-Thru surface-style mounting system, ensuring mechanical fit and finish consistency with the rest of the Middle Atlantic infrastructure line rather than relying on generic covers that may not seat correctly.
- Commercial-Grade Construction: Designed for the repetitive open/close cycles and incidental contact typical of high-traffic commercial installations — conference rooms, training facilities, security operations centers — rather than residential or light-duty applications.
Integration and Compatibility
The 6CFFTCBK is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic 6AT Furniture Feed Evolution Poke-Thru product line. It is not a universal cover — verify your existing poke-thru base unit is from the 6AT Evolution series before ordering. Pairing this cover with a non-Evolution base unit risks an improper fit that defeats the flush-mount aesthetic and may leave cable openings exposed.
For larger AV and cable management infrastructure projects, Middle Atlantic offers a range of complementary poke-thru accessories and rack solutions. If you are specifying a complete AV furniture system, review the full Evolution line to ensure cover, base, and insert selections are generation-matched. TAA compliance applies to the cover itself — verify TAA status independently for any base units or inserts being co-specified on government projects.
This cover is appropriate wherever the Evolution Poke-Thru system is deployed: corporate conference rooms, university lecture halls, security operations centers, government facilities, and enterprise open-plan environments. It is not rated for outdoor or wet-location use — keep it to interior, climate-controlled spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. The 6CFFTCBK is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. government procurement under contracts subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.
Q: What are the dimensions of the 6CFFTCBK?
A: The cover measures 7.75 inches wide by 7.75 inches tall (19.7 × 19.7 cm), with a depth of 1.16 inches (3 cm).
Q: What color is the 6CFFTCBK?

Q: Is the 6CFFTCBK compatible with all Middle Atlantic poke-thru systems?
A: No. The 6CFFTCBK is specifically designed for the Middle Atlantic 6AT Furniture Feed Evolution Poke-Thru surface-style system. Verify your base unit is from the Evolution series before ordering.
Q: Can the 6CFFTCBK be used in outdoor or wet-location installations?

Q: Is this cover suitable for government facility installations?
A: Yes. The TAA compliance of the 6CFFTCBK makes it a valid choice for federal, state, and municipal government projects with FAR/DFARS sourcing requirements, provided the broader system also meets applicable standards.
The detail that usually gets overlooked on poke-thru specifications is depth — and the 6CFFTCBK's 1.16-inch profile is what makes it practical in real furniture deployments. I've seen integrators order generic covers that sit proud of the desk surface by 2 or 3 inches, creating snag points and making the installation look unfinished. The 6CFFTCBK is engineered specifically for the Evolution line, so the seating geometry is correct and the 7.75 × 7.75-inch panel drops in without field modification.
Technical Highlights:
- TAA Compliance: Verified for this SKU — on government contracts where every line item needs to clear procurement review, having TAA documented at the part number level (not just the brand) saves time during spec submittals.
- 7.75 × 7.75 in Panel Size: Covers the full Evolution 6AT cutout with no exposed gap — important in security operations centers and government facilities where cable penetrations must be fully enclosed.
- 1.16-in Depth: Shallow enough that nothing stacked on or near the feed point gets displaced, and it won't conflict with under-desk cable trays or furniture aprons on standard workstation heights.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your poke-thru base is specifically the 6AT Evolution series — Middle Atlantic has multiple poke-thru generations and this cover is not cross-compatible with older or non-Evolution bases.
- Interior use only — there is no IP or NEMA rating on this cover, so any installation in a space with moisture exposure, cleaning wash-down, or outdoor conditions requires a different specification entirely.
The 6CFFTCBK is the right finish component for government offices, federal operations centers, and enterprise conference rooms where the Evolution Poke-Thru system is already specified and TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement — not an optional checkbox.
