Middle Atlantic RPAMD8CTCAB Ratchet-Pro Floor Box Cover Kit

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RPAMD8CTCAB is a Ratchet-Pro single service floor box cover kit finished in brass, built to close out an in-floor cable pass-through point cleanly in conference rooms, huddle spaces, and other commercial installations where AV, power, or data connections need to come up through the floor without leaving an open, unfinished box. The kit ships with an adapter ring and unloaded adapters, giving the installer a cover plate that's ready to accept whatever connector modules the job calls for rather than locking you into a fixed configuration. RPAMD8CTCAB is TAA compliant, which matters if you're specifying for a government, education, or any other project with federal sourcing requirements written into the contract.

Key Features

• Brass Finish Cover Plate: A solid brass cover reads as a finished architectural element rather than a utility hatch — the right call when the floor box sits in a boardroom, lobby, or any space where the client will actually see it.
• Unloaded Adapter Configuration: Because the adapters ship unloaded, you select and load the specific connector modules the room needs (power, data, AV) at install time instead of being stuck with whatever the manufacturer guessed you'd want.
• Adapter Ring Included: The adapter ring interfaces the cover plate to the floor box body, so you're not sourcing a separate ring from a different SKU and hoping the tolerances line up.
• Ratchet-Pro Single Service Design: Built for a single service floor box footprint, which keeps the installed footprint compact for rooms where you only need one drop point rather than a multi-gang box.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance means this SKU can go on federal, state, and institutional bids where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is a hard requirement — no scrambling to find a compliant substitute mid-project.
• 1.00 lb Shipping Weight: Light enough that freight and per-unit handling costs stay negligible even when a job calls for multiple units across several rooms.

Integration & Compatibility

RPAMD8CTCAB is built to pair with a compatible Middle Atlantic floor box body — the adapter ring and cover are the finishing components, not a standalone box. Confirm the floor box body model on the job before ordering the cover kit so the adapter ring tolerances match. Because the adapters ship unloaded, this kit works across a range of connector needs — data jacks, power receptacles, AV connectors — decided at time of install rather than at time of purchase, which is useful on projects where the room's final AV design isn't locked yet. For broader planning on how in-floor and in-wall termination points fit into a room's overall cable strategy, a PoE and cabling planning guide is a useful reference alongside the mounting solutions category for above-floor hardware in the same room. The Middle Atlantic product line covers the broader rack, mounting, and furniture accessory catalog this cover kit belongs to, and browsing the full furniture accessories category is worthwhile if you're specifying multiple finishing components for the same room build-out. If the room also needs cable management above the floor, pairing this with items from the cables category keeps the whole run consistent.

Karl Wilson

RPAMD8CTCAB crosses my desk most often on conference room retrofits where the client wants a brass finish plate instead of the standard aluminum or plastic cover — it's a small detail, but it's the difference between a floor box that looks intentional and one that looks like an afterthought.

Technical Highlights:

• Unloaded Adapters: You load the connector modules at install time, so one SKU covers power-only, data-only, or mixed AV rooms instead of stocking three different loaded variants.
• Brass Finish: Holds up better against foot traffic and scuffing over years of use than a painted finish, which matters in high-traffic boardrooms where the box gets stepped on daily.
• 1.00 lb Kit Weight: Light enough that shipping a handful of these to a multi-room job doesn't add meaningful freight cost to the order.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the floor box body model before ordering — RPAMD8CTCAB is the cover and adapter ring, not the in-floor box itself, so the two need to be matched.
• Because adapters ship unloaded, budget time on the punch list to source and load the actual connector modules; don't assume they're in the box.

I'd spec this for a corporate boardroom or huddle room retrofit where the AV design isn't fully locked yet and the client specifically wants a brass cover instead of the standard finish — the unloaded adapter setup gives you room to finalize the connector mix later in the project without re-ordering hardware.
