Middle Atlantic C8850P-2ACT AC Outlet Plate with Dual 6A Outlets

Overview

The Middle Atlantic C8850P-2ACT is a rack-mount AC outlet plate designed to add two 6A AC receptacles directly to a Middle Atlantic enclosure panel position. Rather than running extension cables or mounting external power strips, this plate integrates flush AC access into the rack face — a cleaner solution for equipment bays where rack-internal AC access points are needed at specific U positions. The C8850P-2ACT fits into Middle Atlantic's modular plate system, keeping power distribution organized within the enclosure structure itself.

Compatibility

This plate is designed for rack enclosure accessories within the Middle Atlantic plate-compatible enclosure series. Verify your specific enclosure model's plate cutout dimensions against Middle Atlantic's published plate compatibility matrix before ordering — plate form factors vary across Middle Atlantic's enclosure generations. The dual 6A rating means each outlet is suited for lower-draw equipment; confirm your connected device's inrush and steady-state draw stays within the per-outlet limit. For higher-current requirements, Middle Atlantic offers plates with 15A or 20A ratings within the same power distribution lineup.

Installation Notes

Install into the designated plate opening on your Middle Atlantic enclosure. Ensure the upstream circuit feeding this plate is appropriately rated — two 6A outlets on a single circuit means a combined maximum of 12A draw, so a 15A or 20A branch circuit is appropriate. Secure wiring connections per local electrical code. Consult Middle Atlantic's installation documentation for torque specifications and wire gauge requirements applicable to your enclosure model. For larger rack power strip needs or higher aggregate amperage, evaluate Middle Atlantic's full power plate range to match load requirements precisely.
