Middle Atlantic 6ATC2GY Evolution 6AT2 Series Poke-Through Floor Device
The Middle Atlantic 6ATC2GY is a 6-inch poke-through floor device from the Evolution 6AT2 Series, designed to route power, data, and AV cabling through concrete or raised-access floors in commercial installations. With a surface cover style, gray finish, and un-prewired field-configurable design, it gives integrators full control over module selection at the time of installation. Middle Atlantic engineered this device for conference rooms, open-plan workstations, and AV equipment positions where a clean, above-floor access point is required without a recessed or flush finish.
Key Features
- Surface Cover Style: The above-floor lid sits flush against finished floor material, providing a low-profile access point that does not require routing the cover below the floor surface — simplifying retrofits in existing concrete slabs.
- Un-Prewired Configuration: Sold without factory-installed modules, the 6ATC2GY accepts field-selected inserts for power, data, HDMI, USB, or other connectivity types — reducing waste and allowing the same SKU to serve multiple room configurations.
- Installed Footprint 11.5" x 11.5" x 19.5": The 292.1 x 292.1 x 495.3 mm envelope fits standard core-bore openings used in commercial flooring, and the 19.5-inch depth accommodates typical concrete slab and subfloor thicknesses found in Class A office construction.
- Unit Dimensions 7.25" H x 7.25" W x 16.25" D: The 18.4 x 18.4 x 41.3 cm body fits within the above-floor and below-floor clearance required by most raised-floor and slab applications without special framing.
- Gray Finish: The neutral gray color coordinates with standard commercial carpet tile, polished concrete, and raised-floor panels, avoiding the visual disruption of a mismatched cover in open-plan environments.
- TAA Compliant: Verified Trade Agreements Act compliance supports procurement on U.S. federal, state, and municipal contracts where domestic-preference sourcing is required.
- Evolution 6AT2 Series Platform: As part of Middle Atlantic's poke-thru device family, the 6ATC2GY shares a common module ecosystem, allowing standardized spare parts and consistent field-service procedures across a multi-room deployment.
- Field-Configurable Module Bay: The open, un-prewired bay accepts standard modular inserts, meaning the same floor penetration can be reconfigured as room technology requirements change — without re-coring the floor.
Integration & Compatibility
The 6ATC2GY is built for use in commercial AV infrastructure deployments alongside structured cabling, raised-floor distribution systems, and in-floor cable management pathways. It is compatible with modular inserts from the Middle Atlantic Evolution 6AT2 Series ecosystem. Integrators specifying floor boxes for conference tables, training rooms, or collaboration spaces will find the un-prewired format practical for phased buildouts where data and power requirements are confirmed after rough-in. Verify the specific modules required for your AV or data connectivity needs prior to ordering, as modules are sold separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the surface cover style on the 6ATC2GY and a recessed or flush cover?
A: A surface cover sits above the finished floor level, meaning the lid face is visible and accessible without being set below the floor surface. A recessed or flush cover is mortised into the floor material so the cover face is level with the floor. The surface style on the 6ATC2GY simplifies installation in retrofit applications because it does not require precise depth alignment with finished flooring thickness.
Q: Does the 6ATC2GY come with power or data modules installed?
A: No. The 6ATC2GY is sold un-prewired. Modules for power, data, HDMI, USB, or other connectivity types are ordered separately and installed in the field, allowing you to configure the device to match the specific requirements of each installation location.
Q: What are the installed dimensions and why do they matter for floor core sizing?
A: The installed envelope is 11.5" x 11.5" x 19.5" (292.1 x 292.1 x 495.3 mm). The 19.5-inch depth is the critical dimension for slab applications — it must fit within the total depth from finished floor surface to the underfloor plenum or structural deck. Confirm available depth before specifying.
Q: Is the 6ATC2GY TAA compliant for government procurement?
A: Yes. The 6ATC2GY carries verified TAA compliance, making it eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal contracts that require Trade Agreements Act adherence. NDAA compliance has not been confirmed in available documentation and should not be assumed.
Q: Can the 6ATC2GY be used in raised-access floor environments as well as concrete slabs?
A: The unit dimensions (7.25" H x 7.25" W x 16.25" D) and installed depth of 19.5 inches are compatible with many raised-access floor plenum depths common in data centers and modern office builds, but you should verify the available plenum clearance in your specific raised-floor system before specifying this unit.
The Middle Atlantic 6ATC2GY is a straightforward, well-specified poke-through floor device that earns its place in commercial AV and structured cabling work. The 19.5-inch installed depth is the specification I check first on any floor-box bid — most Class A office slabs run 4 to 6 inches, and the plenum below adds another 12 to 18 inches, so the 6ATC2GY fits cleanly without modification in the majority of new-construction and retrofit scenarios I encounter.
Technical Highlights:
- Un-Prewired Module Bay: Field-configurable design means one SKU covers power-only, data-only, or combined AV+power layouts — reduces the number of line items on a bid and eliminates the risk of ordering the wrong factory-wired variant for a room that changes scope.
- Installed Envelope 11.5" x 11.5" x 19.5": The 292.1 x 292.1 x 495.3 mm footprint aligns with standard 6-inch core-bore tooling, keeping rough-in labor predictable and avoiding custom cutting on finished floors.
- TAA Compliance: Verified TAA status on a floor device is more valuable than it sounds — government and education projects frequently require it at the component level, and having it confirmed on the 6ATC2GY avoids a last-minute substitution during procurement review.
Deployment Considerations:
- Always confirm available underfloor depth before rough-in — the 16.25-inch body depth requires adequate plenum clearance below the slab, and a shallow raised-floor system under 18 inches may need a different product from the Evolution series.
- Modules are sold separately; do not assume power or data connectivity is included. Build the module BOM at the same time as the floor device BOM to avoid a return visit to the site for missing inserts.
For conference room tables, training room floor positions, and open-plan collaboration zones where a surface-cover finish is acceptable, the 6ATC2GY is a reliable, TAA-compliant choice that installs predictably and reconfigures cleanly as room technology needs evolve over time.
