Middle Atlantic RP7CTCAL Multi-Service Floor Box Cover Kit

The Middle Atlantic RP7CTCAL is a Ratchet-Pro multiple-service floor box cover kit finished in aluminum, built for conference rooms, boardrooms, and presentation spaces where power and connectivity need to come up through the floor without leaving cables and connectors exposed to foot traffic. It ships prewired with a 20A duplex receptacle, so the electrical portion of the install is largely done before it reaches the job site. If you're speccing floor boxes for a mounting solutions package alongside AV racks and cable runs, the RP7CTCAL is worth putting on the short list for any room where furniture placement is flexible and power needs to originate from the floor rather than the wall.

Overview

RP7CTCAL sits in Middle Atlantic's Ratchet-Pro floor box line, designed to cap and organize floor-mounted power and low-voltage services in commercial interiors. The cover kit pairs with a floor box body to present a flush, walkable surface once cables are routed and connected. The aluminum cover construction gives it the physical durability commercial floor traffic demands, and the black finish detailing keeps the visible hardware from standing out against typical flooring and carpet tile.

Key Features

• Prewired 20A Duplex Receptacle: the electrical connection is factory-terminated, cutting down on field wiring time and reducing the chance of a miswired outlet getting buried under a finished floor cover — a real time savings on rooms with tight commissioning schedules.
• Aluminum Cover Construction: aluminum stands up to repeated foot traffic and rolling furniture loads better than lighter plastic covers, which matters in floor boxes that sit in walkways or under conference tables that get repositioned.
• Multi-Service Capacity: the 1DP 2COMM configuration (one device plate, two communications openings) gives you room to run power plus two data or AV connections through a single box — useful when a room needs both an outlet and a couple of network or AV drops at one floor location instead of running separate boxes.
• Ratchet-Pro Cover Mechanism: the Ratchet-Pro design is built for repeated opening and closing without the cover mechanism wearing loose over years of service access, which matters in rooms where cabling gets reconfigured periodically.
• Black + Aluminum Finish: the two-tone finish is meant to blend into commercial flooring while the aluminum trim ring resists scuffing at the edge, where most floor box wear actually happens.

Integration & Compatibility

The RP7CTCAL is a cover kit component within Middle Atlantic's Ratchet-Pro floor box system — pair it with the correct matching Ratchet-Pro floor box body for a complete in-floor installation. Because the receptacle comes prewired, it's a straightforward fit for integrators already running cable infrastructure to a floor location and looking to finish the box out with minimal on-site electrical work. For rooms where the same power and data needs to reach a rack or credenza instead of the floor, check Middle Atlantic's broader mounting solutions catalog for wall and rack-mounted alternatives with equivalent receptacle configurations.

This is TAA-compliant, which matters for integrators bidding government, education, or other public-sector contracts where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is a procurement requirement — the RP7CTCAL can go on those bids without a compliance workaround.

The RP7CTCAL is one of those parts that doesn't look complicated until you're the one wiring a floor box under a conference table three days before a client walkthrough. What sold me on it is that the 20A duplex receptacle comes prewired — you're not terminating a device plate on your knees under a raised floor panel while a GC waits on you.

Technical Highlights:

• Prewired 20A Duplex Receptacle: factory termination means less field labor and fewer chances of a bad connection getting sealed under a finished cover.
• 1DP 2COMM Configuration: one device plate plus two communications openings lets a single floor box handle power and two data/AV runs, so you're not trenching two separate boxes for one huddle room.
• Aluminum Cover Construction, 4.00 lbs: at 4 lbs the cover has real mass and rigidity for its footprint — it's built to take rolling chair casters and cart traffic, not just foot steps.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a cover kit — confirm you're pairing it with the matching Ratchet-Pro floor box body before ordering, since the cover alone doesn't complete the in-floor rough-in.
• TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, which is the detail that actually matters if you're bidding a GSA or state contract — don't assume it carries over to other finishes in the same family without checking each SKU individually.

I'd spec the RP7CTCAL for a boardroom or training room retrofit where the table sits over a floor core and the room needs one clean access point for power plus a couple of AV or network drops, RP7CTCAL included, instead of a jungle of cables running to a wall plate across the room.
