Middle Atlantic 8CT2SBTR Flush Tamper-Resistant Poke-Thru Cover Assembly
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 8CT2SBTR is a flush-style cover assembly for the 8CT Evolution Poke-Thru series, designed to deliver a clean, surface-level finish at floor or furniture cable access points. With tamper-resistant receptacles and a satin brass finish, it suits commercial environments where both aesthetics and outlet security matter — conference rooms, lobbies, executive offices, and AV-equipped classrooms.
TAA compliance makes the 8CT2SBTR a straightforward choice for federal, state, and municipal projects where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is a procurement requirement, not an afterthought. If your project specs call for TAA-compliant Middle Atlantic infrastructure, this cover assembly checks that box without compromise.
Key Features
- Flush Cover Style: Sits level with the floor or surface when closed — no raised profile to catch foot traffic or create a trip hazard in high-circulation areas like conference rooms or corridors.
- Tamper-Resistant Receptacles: Spring-loaded shutters block foreign object insertion unless both slots are engaged simultaneously. Correct choice anywhere children, general public, or unsupervised staff have access to floor outlets.
- Satin Brass Finish: Matches upscale interior specifications. Coordinates with brass or warm-metal furniture hardware in executive and hospitality settings where a brushed-chrome look would stand out poorly.
- TAA Compliant: Sourced in compliance with the Trade Agreements Act — required on GSA schedules, federal contracts, and many state/municipal bids. Confirm your project's TAA requirement early; this cover meets it.
- 8CT Evolution Series Compatibility: Designed for the 8CT poke-thru device family from Middle Atlantic. Verify your installed body unit matches the 8CT series before ordering — cover assemblies are not universally interchangeable across poke-thru generations.
Integration & Compatibility
The 8CT2SBTR is a cover assembly component within the Middle Atlantic 8CT Evolution Poke-Thru system. It pairs with compatible 8CT poke-thru body units installed in floors, raised access flooring, or conference tables. If you are specifying a complete poke-thru solution, coordinate the body unit, service insert, and cover assembly as a matched set to ensure correct fit and finish. For cable management planning on multi-outlet or AV-integrated installations, confirm cutout dimensions match the 8CT series before rough-in.
