Middle Atlantic 6IN Surf Style TR CVR Assembly SB - 6CTC2SBTR

Middle Atlantic 6CTC2SBTR 6-In Surface Style Tamper-Resistant Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6CTC2SBTR is a surface-mount cover assembly for the 6CT Evolution poke-through floor device, designed for conference rooms, open office environments, and commercial spaces where floor-level power and data access must be both accessible and secure. At 7.75 in wide by 7.25 in tall, the satin brass cover sits flush over the floor box opening, providing a finished appearance that integrates cleanly into professional interiors. The 6CTC2SBTR ships as a ready-to-install assembly — relevant if you are specifying the cover separately from the base unit or replacing a cover on an existing 6CT floor device.

Key Features

• Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Type: TR-rated outlets require simultaneous pressure on both contact slots to insert a plug, blocking foreign object insertion — a code requirement in most commercial occupancies and a practical liability control in spaces with public access or mixed-use populations. If your AHJ or facility policy mandates TR, this cover satisfies that requirement without a separate adapter.
• Surface Cover Style: The surface-mount profile means the cover assembly sits above the floor plane rather than recessing flush. This simplifies installation on existing concrete or raised-floor environments where cutting a true flush pocket is impractical. Trade-off: the raised profile is visible underfoot, so confirm sightlines and traffic patterns before specifying in high-footfall areas.
• Satin Brass Finish: The satin brass color coordinates with upscale conference and boardroom interiors where polished chrome or black would look utilitarian. If your project calls for a different finish family, verify finish availability in the broader 6CT cover line before ordering this SKU.
• TAA Compliant: The 6CTC2SBTR meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal procurement contracts where TAA compliance is mandated. Specify this on government, education, and DoD projects without needing a waiver.
• 7.75 in x 7.25 in Footprint: The cover dimensions match the 6CT Evolution floor box opening. Verify the installed base unit model before ordering — a cover/base mismatch will require a return. The 11.5 in x 11.5 in x 2 in shipping box is compact enough for standard parcel delivery to the job site.

Integration and Compatibility

The 6CTC2SBTR is engineered for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-through floor device family. It is not a universal floor box cover — confirm your base unit is a 6CT Evolution model before specifying this cover. For Middle Atlantic floor device accessories and compatible base units, review the full 6CT family. If you are specifying complete power and infrastructure solutions for a conference or AV installation, coordinate the cover finish and receptacle type with the rest of the room's power distribution plan. A structured AV infrastructure guide can help align floor device selection with rack and cable management choices. For projects requiring floor boxes and poke-through devices, verify TAA status across all components if federal procurement applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 6CTC2SBTR TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 6CTC2SBTR is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal procurement projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What floor box base unit does the 6CTC2SBTR fit?

A: The 6CTC2SBTR is designed for the Middle Atlantic 6CT Evolution poke-through floor device. Confirm your installed base is a 6CT Evolution model before ordering — it is not a universal cover.

Q: What does tamper-resistant mean on the 6CTC2SBTR receptacles?

A: Tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles require simultaneous pressure on both contact openings to accept a plug. This prevents foreign object insertion and is a standard commercial building code requirement in most occupancies.

Q: What finish is the 6CTC2SBTR?

A: Satin brass. If a different finish is required, check the broader 6CT cover line for available color options.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the 6CTC2SBTR cover?

A: The cover assembly is 7.75 in wide by 7.25 in tall. Shipping dimensions are 11.5 in x 11.5 in x 2 in.

Ted Perry

The detail that matters most on the 6CTC2SBTR is the tamper-resistant receptacle designation — in commercial occupancies where NEC 406.12 applies, TR outlets are not optional, and specifying a non-TR cover on a floor box in a public or semi-public space creates a code deficiency that gets flagged at inspection. This cover handles that requirement out of the box, so you are not field-retrofitting TR inserts after the fact.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA status on the 6CTC2SBTR means you can drop it into a GSA schedule or government facilities project without a compliance review on this line item — saves paperwork on multi-component submittals.
• Surface Cover Profile: The surface-mount style adds installation flexibility on poured concrete slabs and existing raised floors where a flush-cut pocket would require core drilling or subfloor modification. The 7.75 in x 7.25 in footprint is fixed to the 6CT Evolution opening size.
• Satin Brass Finish: Finish choice affects specifier approval on design-build projects. Satin brass reads as a deliberate finish selection in boardrooms and hospitality interiors — not an afterthought.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm base unit compatibility before the cover ships to the job site. The 6CTC2SBTR is matched to the 6CT Evolution poke-through device — if the installed base is a different generation or a competitor unit, this cover will not fit.
• The surface-mount profile sits proud of the floor plane. In high-traffic corridors or areas with wheeled equipment (AV carts, furniture dollies), verify the raised edge will not create a trip hazard or conflict with furniture placement.

Best fit for conference rooms, boardrooms, and government facility AV installations where TAA compliance is required and a satin brass finish coordinates with the interior design specification.
