Middle Atlantic 8IN Surface Style CVR Assembly AA - 8CTC2AA

Middle Atlantic 8CTC2AA Surface-Style Poke-Through Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 8CTC2AA is a surface-style cover assembly designed for the 8CT Evolution poke-through floor box series. At 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" (292.1 x 292.1 x 50.8 mm), this cover mounts flush over an installed poke-through device, providing a clean, finished appearance in conference rooms, training spaces, and open-plan work environments where underfloor connectivity needs to surface at the desk or table level. If you are specifying or replacing a cover for an 8CT Evolution poke-through and need a surface-mount profile rather than a recessed one, the 8CTC2AA is the correct part to order.

Middle Atlantic, part of the Legrand AV portfolio, builds this assembly for commercial AV and workplace infrastructure deployments. Browse the Middle Atlantic catalog for compatible poke-through bodies, power modules, and AV connectivity components.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: The surface profile sits above the floor plane rather than recessing into it — the right choice when floor depth or subfloor obstructions prevent a fully flush finish. This also simplifies retrofit installations where cutting a deeper recess is not practical.
• Standard Receptacle Type: Designed for standard receptacle configurations, making it straightforward to pair with common power and data inserts without requiring custom cut-outs or adapters.
• 11.5" x 11.5" Footprint: The square 11.5-inch footprint provides generous coverage over the poke-through rough opening, concealing subfloor infrastructure and giving installers reasonable alignment tolerance during final trim-out.
• 2" Profile Depth: At 2 inches (50.8 mm) above the mounting surface, the cover provides enough interior clearance for standard receptacle bodies and cable management without creating a significant trip hazard at floor level.
• Brushed Aluminum Finish: The brushed aluminum color integrates cleanly with commercial furniture and raised-floor aesthetics — a practical choice for corporate interiors where exposed AV infrastructure is visible to end users.
• TAA Compliant: The 8CTC2AA meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, which matters when this equipment is specified on federal contracts, GSA schedules, or state/local government projects with TAA obligations. Verify TAA status on your specific purchase order before submission.

Integration and Compatibility

The 8CTC2AA is part of the 8CT Evolution poke-through cover series from Middle Atlantic (Legrand AV). It is specifically designed for use with the 8CT poke-through device body — confirm the base unit model before ordering to ensure the cover assembly matches the installed rough-in dimensions and mounting pattern. Surface-style covers are typically selected when the floor construction or existing installation does not accommodate the full recessed depth. For new installations, consult the poke-through devices category to select both the body and the correct cover style together.

If you are building out a conference room or collaboration space, pair this cover with compatible AV connectivity inserts and power modules from the same 8CT family. For structured cabling and cable management accessories, the cable management section covers complementary Legrand AV and Middle Atlantic components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 8CTC2AA TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 8CTC2AA is listed as TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on federal, GSA schedule, and qualifying government contracts. Verify compliance status on your specific procurement documentation before submission.

Q: What is the cover style of the 8CTC2AA — surface or recessed?

A: The 8CTC2AA uses a surface cover style, meaning it mounts above the floor plane rather than sitting flush with it. This is the correct choice when floor depth or retrofit conditions prevent a recessed installation.

Q: What are the overall dimensions of the 8CTC2AA?

A: The 8CTC2AA measures 11.5" x 11.5" x 2" (292.1 x 292.1 x 50.8 mm).

Q: What color or finish does the 8CTC2AA come in?

A: The 8CTC2AA is finished in brushed aluminum, which suits commercial and corporate interior environments with a neutral, professional appearance.

Q: What poke-through device body is the 8CTC2AA compatible with?

A: The 8CTC2AA is designed for the Middle Atlantic (Legrand AV) 8CT Evolution poke-through series. Confirm the specific base unit model number against your rough-in to ensure dimensional and mounting compatibility before ordering.

James Everett

The Middle Atlantic 8CTC2AA comes up most often in conference room and collaboration space retrofits where the 8CT Evolution poke-through body is already in the floor but the original cover needs replacement — or where the initial spec called for a surface-mount profile because the floor construction couldn't accommodate a fully recessed trim. The 11.5" x 11.5" footprint gives you solid coverage and reasonable alignment latitude during final trim-out.

Technical Highlights:

• Surface Cover Style: Sits above the floor plane — the right call when subfloor depth is limited or when a retrofit situation makes cutting deeper impractical. Not interchangeable with recessed-style covers on the same rough-in.
• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA compliant, which opens this part up for federal and GSA-schedule projects where country-of-origin matters at the line-item level.
• 2" Depth Profile: The 50.8 mm height clears standard receptacle bodies without creating a significant obstruction at floor level — relevant in high-traffic areas where trip hazard management is part of the design review.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the installed 8CT poke-through body model number before ordering — surface and recessed covers are not dimensionally interchangeable, and the mounting pattern must match the base unit already in the floor.
• The brushed aluminum finish is a fixed attribute of this SKU; if your project spec calls for a different finish or color, verify available variants in the 8CT cover lineup before committing.

The 8CTC2AA is the right part for a surface-mount cover replacement or new installation on an 8CT Evolution poke-through in a commercial conference room, training facility, or open-office collaboration zone — particularly on any project with TAA procurement requirements.
