Middle Atlantic AMD8CTCBS Floor Box Cover Kit

Overview

The AMD8CTCBS is a Ratchet-Pro single-service floor box cover kit from Middle Atlantic, built for conference rooms, huddle spaces, and open-office floor boxes where you need clean cable pass-through without a rat's nest of connectors showing at the finished floor. It's an 8-port cover plate in a brass and black finish, designed to close out a floor box opening while presenting a professional surface for AV, data, and power connections. If you're speccing a mounting solutions package for a boardroom table or a huddle room floor feed, the AMD8CTCBS is the piece that finishes the job at the floor level.

Key Features

• 8-Port Capacity: Eight connector openings mean you can run video, data, and audio through a single floor box instead of splitting a room's connectivity across multiple boxes — fewer floor cuts, fewer service calls when a room gets reconfigured.
• Brass and Black Finish: The brass surround with black insert reads as a finished architectural element rather than a utility hole in the floor — relevant in boardrooms and lobbies where the floor box is in plain sight, not tucked under furniture.
• Ratchet-Pro Mechanism: A ratchet-style cover design speeds up field assembly compared to loose-screw plates — fewer dropped fasteners during install, faster turns for integrators billing by the room.
• TAA Certification: Trade Agreements Act compliance matters directly for government and federal-adjacent projects where procurement rules require TAA-compliant sourcing on the bid sheet — this SKU clears that gate.
• 2-Year Warranty: A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers a component that takes regular foot traffic and cable insertion cycles, which is where cover kits typically show wear first.
• 1 lb Compact Kit: Light enough to ship and stock without freight surcharges, and easy for a single tech to carry and install without extra hands on a service call.

Integration & Compatibility

The AMD8CTCBS is built as a service floor box cover, meaning it's intended to pair with a compatible Middle Atlantic floor box body rather than stand alone — confirm your existing floor box model accepts the Ratchet-Pro single-service cover before ordering. For rooms where this floor feed supports a video conferencing or AV-over-IP deployment, plan the port allocation against your actual cable count: 8 ports covers a typical mixed video/data/power run without over-provisioning the box. If you're outfitting an entire conference room buildout, pair this with the broader Middle Atlantic mounting solutions line for racks and connectivity hardware above the floor, and check a AV over IP planning guide if the room is running video over the network rather than dedicated cabling.

The AMD8CTCBS is the kind of part that only gets attention when it's missing on delivery day — an 8-port Ratchet-Pro cover kit for a Middle Atlantic service floor box, finished in brass and black so it doesn't look out of place in a boardroom.

Technical Highlights:

• 8-Port Layout: Consolidates video, data, and power pass-through into one floor box cutout instead of forcing a second box for overflow connectors.
• Brass/Black Finish: Holds up visually in high-traffic, high-visibility rooms where a plain plastic cover would look out of place next to finished millwork.
• 2-Year Warranty: Covers the mechanical wear points — the ratchet hinge and port inserts — that see the most cycling from daily cable changes.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm this cover kit matches the specific Middle Atlantic floor box body already in the slab or raised floor before ordering — cover kits are sized to a specific box family.
• At 1 lb, it ships and stocks easily, but it's a cover-only kit — it doesn't include the floor box housing itself, so budget for that separately if this is a new install rather than a retrofit.

Specify the AMD8CTCBS when you're closing out a boardroom or huddle-room floor box on a TAA-compliant government or institutional bid and need a finished, 8-port brass-and-black cover rather than a bare utility plate.
