Middle Atlantic 8CTC2SNTR 8-Circuit Surface Cover Assembly Satin Nickel
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 8CTC2SNTR is a surface-style cover assembly designed for 8CT Evolution poke-thru devices. Finished in satin nickel and fitted with a tamper-resistant receptacle, this cover is built for commercial installations where both aesthetics and outlet security matter — conference rooms, corporate lobbies, training facilities, and other managed-access spaces where standard outlets invite unauthorized use.
The 8CTC2SNTR ships in a compact 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" package and carries TAA compliance, making it a viable specification for government, education, and federally-funded projects where domestic sourcing requirements apply. For integrators working within the Middle Atlantic product line, this cover mates directly with the 8CT Evolution poke-thru body — confirm the base unit model before ordering to ensure mechanical compatibility.
Key Features
- Surface Cover Style: sits flush with the floor or surface rather than recessing below it — correct for installations where the base poke-thru body does not extend far enough for a flush-recessed finish, or where surface-mount is specified for ease of future service.
- Tamper-Resistant Receptacle: the TR designation means outlet slots require simultaneous insertion pressure on both contacts to open — standard outlets can be defeated by a single probe. Required by NEC 406.12 in most commercial and all pediatric/educational occupancies; specifying TR from the start avoids a change-order later.
- Satin Nickel Finish: a mid-tone metallic that reads as neutral against most commercial flooring — avoids the high-contrast visual disruption of polished chrome in open-plan environments.
- TAA Compliant: the 8CTC2SNTR meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying it for GSA schedules, federal agency procurement, and state/local contracts with domestic-sourcing language. Verify the full assembly (base + cover) is TAA-listed if the contract requires end-to-end compliance.
Integration & Compatibility
This cover assembly is part of the 8CT Evolution poke-thru line from Middle Atlantic. It is designed to pair with the 8CT Evolution poke-thru body; it is not a universal fit across different manufacturer bases or prior-generation Middle Atlantic poke-thru series. For broader AV and power infrastructure planning, verify that the cover style (surface vs. recessed) matches your floor-box or poke-thru body specification before finalizing the order. If your project requires data or AV pass-through alongside power, confirm the 8CT base configuration supports the required module types.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 8CTC2SNTR TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 8CTC2SNTR carries TAA compliance, making it eligible for use on GSA schedules and federal or state contracts with domestic-sourcing requirements.
Q: What does the tamper-resistant receptacle mean for my installation?
A: Tamper-resistant (TR) outlets require simultaneous pressure on both slots to open — a single probe cannot defeat them. This meets NEC 406.12 requirements for commercial and educational occupancies and is required in pediatric and childcare facilities.
Q: What poke-thru body does the 8CTC2SNTR fit?
A: The 8CTC2SNTR is designed for the 8CT Evolution poke-thru line from Middle Atlantic. Confirm your base unit model number before ordering — it is not a universal-fit cover.
Q: What finish is the 8CTC2SNTR?
A: Satin nickel. This is a mid-tone metallic finish suited to most commercial flooring and open-plan environments.
Q: What are the shipping dimensions for the 8CTC2SNTR?
A: The unit ships in an 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" box (292.1 x 292.1 x 50.8 mm).
