Middle Atlantic 6ATC2PBK Prewired Poke-Thru Device with Surface Cover

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6ATC2PBK is a prewired, 6-inch poke-thru floor device from the Evolution 6AT2 series, designed for commercial environments where structured AV and power distribution needs to surface cleanly through finished floors. If you are spec'ing a conference room, boardroom, or open-plan collaboration space that demands a tidy, code-friendly floor outlet solution, the 6ATC2PBK ships prewired and ready to drop in — saving the install crew significant field-wiring time. The surface cover style keeps the device flush and accessible without recessing into a floor box, making it the right call when slab depth is limited or a full recessed installation is impractical.

Key Features

• Prewired from the factory: The 6ATC2PBK arrives with internal wiring already assembled. That eliminates a wiring step on the job site — fewer opportunities for miswired connections, and faster commissioning when you are coordinating multiple trades on a tight punch-list schedule.
• Surface cover style: Unlike recessed lids that require a deeper core cut, the surface cover profile keeps the finish plate above the floor level. This is the version to order when you cannot guarantee consistent slab depth across the installation area, or when the architect wants a cleaner visual that sits on the surface rather than flush-set.
• Compact 7.25 in x 7.25 in body: The device body measures 7.25 inches square (18.4 cm each side), with a 16.25-inch depth (41.3 cm). That depth spec is the critical one to cross-check against your core-drill clearance — confirm the under-floor pathway is clear before the hole is cut.
• Overall footprint 11.5 in x 11.5 in x 19.5 in: The installed envelope — 292.1 x 292.1 x 495.3 mm — sets your coordination envelope for interference checks with conduit runs, structural members, and underfloor HVAC. Pull this number before submitting for permit.
• Black finish (color: Black): Matches standard commercial carpet tile and dark flooring specifications. If the project has mixed flooring zones, confirm the finish color matches the specified floor box trim before ordering.
• TAA Compliant: The 6ATC2PBK is TAA compliant, which satisfies the Trade Agreements Act requirements for federal, state, and municipally funded projects. If the project is publicly bid with TAA language in the spec, this line item is covered without a substitution request.

Integration and Compatibility

The 6ATC2PBK is part of the Middle Atlantic Evolution 6AT2 series. Confirm that any field-installable inserts, power modules, or data keystones specified for the project are compatible with the 6AT2 series receptacle format — the prewired configuration determines which modules are pre-installed versus field-added. Coordinate with the low-voltage and electrical trades early: the 16.25-inch depth requires clear vertical clearance under slab, and the surface cover style affects ADA compliance reviews depending on jurisdiction and floor traffic path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 6ATC2PBK TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 6ATC2PBK is confirmed TAA compliant, making it suitable for federally funded and government projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What does 'prewired' mean on the 6ATC2PBK — do I still need to run field wiring?

A: Prewired means the internal wiring harness is assembled at the factory. You will still need to run your supply feeds and data cables to the device from the building infrastructure — prewired refers to the internal assembly, not the building-side connections.

Q: What is the installed depth of the 6ATC2PBK?

A: The device body is 16.25 inches (41.3 cm) deep. The full installed envelope is 11.5 x 11.5 x 19.5 inches (292.1 x 292.1 x 495.3 mm). Verify under-floor clearance before coring.

Q: What is the difference between the surface cover style and a recessed cover?

A: A surface cover sits above the finished floor plane, requiring less slab depth for the cover assembly. A recessed cover sits flush with the floor. The 6ATC2PBK uses a surface cover, which is preferable when slab depth is constrained or when a raised-profile finish is acceptable per the design specification.

Q: What finish color is the 6ATC2PBK?

A: Black. Coordinate with the flooring finish spec to confirm compatibility before ordering.

James Everett

The 6ATC2PBK is the prewired, surface-cover variant of the Middle Atlantic Evolution 6AT2 floor device — the spec detail that matters most before you order is the 16.25-inch (41.3 cm) body depth, because a surprises under the slab after the core is drilled is an expensive fix on any commercial floor project.

Technical Highlights:

• Factory prewired: Internal harness assembled before shipment — reduces field-wiring variables and speeds up commissioning on multi-outlet floor projects where consistent assembly quality matters.
• TAA Compliant: Confirmed compliant with Trade Agreements Act requirements, which satisfies the procurement language on federal, state, and municipal bids without requiring a separate compliance review or product substitution.
• Surface cover profile: The 11.5 x 11.5-inch cover footprint sits above the floor plane — the right choice when you cannot guarantee recessed-depth consistency across a large installation area or when the finish schedule does not accommodate a flush-cut lid.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 19.5-inch overall installed height (495.3 mm) is the interference-check dimension — run this against your underfloor conduit routing and structural drawings before the core-drill crew mobilizes.
• Surface cover style is not flush with the finished floor, which means it creates a raised profile. Confirm with the architect and the ADA compliance reviewer that the cover height is acceptable for the specific floor traffic zone.

The 6ATC2PBK is best suited for conference rooms, training centers, and open-plan collaboration floors where clean AV and power distribution is required, TAA compliance is a bid requirement, and slab depth variability makes a surface-cover device the safer specification choice over a recessed-flush alternative.
