Middle Atlantic 6IN Surf Style TR CVR Assembly SN - 6CTC2SNTR

Middle Atlantic 6CTC2SNTR Surface-Style Tamper-Resistant Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 6CTC2SNTR is a surface-style cover assembly designed for the 6CT Evolution Poke-Thru series, providing a finished, tamper-resistant interface for power and data access points in commercial and institutional environments. At 7.75 in wide by 7.25 in tall in satin nickel, it integrates cleanly into modern workspace surfaces while meeting federal procurement requirements through TAA compliance. If you are specifying conference rooms, government facilities, or open office floors where aesthetics and outlet security both matter, the 6CTC2SNTR addresses both without compromise. For a broader look at the Middle Atlantic product line, including rack infrastructure and power management, the full catalog covers a wide range of AV and security integration hardware.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: The surface-mount profile sits above the floor or desk cutout rather than recessing flush — useful when the substrate depth is insufficient for a fully recessed install, or when you need easier field access for future reconfiguration without cutting deeper.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: TR-rated outlets require simultaneous pressure on both slots to accept a plug, blocking single-prong insertion attempts. In K-12 schools, healthcare waiting areas, and public-access government spaces, this is often a code requirement — not just a preference. If your spec calls for standard NEMA receptacles, you will need a different cover assembly.
• Satin Nickel Finish: The finish coordinates with contemporary hardware and furniture in conference and collaboration spaces. It is not a painted finish — satin nickel holds up to repeated contact in high-traffic installations better than powder coat alternatives.
• TAA Compliant: Federal, state, and many municipal procurement contracts require Trade Agreements Act compliance. The 6CTC2SNTR satisfies that requirement, making it straightforward to spec on GSA schedules or government facility refreshes without a waiver process.
• Compact Footprint: The 7.75 in × 7.25 in plate fits standard commercial poke-thru cutouts without requiring additional surface preparation. Shipping dimensions of 11.5 in × 11.5 in × 2 in indicate a low-profile package for easy job-site staging.

Integration & Compatibility

The 6CTC2SNTR is part of the 6CT Evolution Poke-Thru Cover family from Middle Atlantic. Verify compatibility with your specific floor box and poke-thru device configuration before ordering — the cover assembly must match the base unit's footprint and mounting pattern. This cover does not include receptacles or data modules independently; confirm that your base assembly includes the appropriate insert configuration for your power and data layout. Integrators specifying AV infrastructure alongside security systems will find this fits naturally into coordinated floor-box builds for boardrooms and command centers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 6CTC2SNTR TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 6CTC2SNTR is TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on federal, state, and qualifying municipal procurement contracts without a waiver.

Q: What does tamper-resistant mean on the 6CTC2SNTR receptacles?

A: Tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles require simultaneous insertion pressure on both contact slots before they open. This prevents single-prong insertion, a common requirement in schools, healthcare facilities, and public-access government spaces per NEC code.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 6CTC2SNTR cover plate?

A: The cover plate measures 7.75 in wide by 7.25 in tall (19.7 cm × 18.4 cm). Shipping dimensions are 11.5 in × 11.5 in × 2 in.

Q: What finish is the 6CTC2SNTR available in?

A: The 6CTC2SNTR ships in satin nickel. If your project requires a different finish, check the 6CT Evolution Poke-Thru Cover family for alternate color options.

Q: Does the 6CTC2SNTR include receptacles or data modules?

A: Based on available product evidence, the 6CTC2SNTR is the cover assembly for the 6CT Evolution Poke-Thru series. Confirm with your distributor whether receptacles and data modules are included or must be specified separately with your base unit.

Karl Wilson

The 6CTC2SNTR is a detail product — the kind that gets specified once and forgotten until something goes wrong on a government or healthcare job because the cover style or receptacle type did not match the base unit. The surface cover style here is the key decision point: at 7.75 in × 7.25 in, it sits proud of the surface rather than recessing, which means you need to verify clearance under furniture and confirm the base poke-thru unit is the correct 6CT Evolution model before the cover ships to site.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: Federal and GSA-schedule projects require TAA-compliant components at every level of the installation. The 6CTC2SNTR satisfies this without a waiver, simplifying procurement on government facility builds.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: NEC 406.12 mandates TR receptacles in pediatric care areas, schools, and similar occupancies. Specifying TR at the cover-assembly level — rather than retrofitting later — keeps the installation code-clean from day one.
• Satin Nickel Finish: Finish durability matters in conference and collaboration spaces with daily contact. Satin nickel resists wear better than painted alternatives, reducing the likelihood of a cosmetic callback on a high-profile installation.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the 6CTC2SNTR matches your specific 6CT Evolution base unit — the cover family has multiple configurations, and a mismatched mounting pattern means a field return.
• Surface-style covers add height above the floor or desk plane. Measure clearance under seating and furniture before committing this style on low-profile conference table installations.

The 6CTC2SNTR is the right call for government office refreshes, K-12 classroom builds, and healthcare waiting areas where TAA compliance and TR receptacles are non-negotiable requirements — and where satin nickel coordinates with specified hardware finishes.
