Middle Atlantic EVO FLR BX Surf CVR W Solid LID - EFB45BTCSN

Middle Atlantic EFB45BTCSN Evolution Floor Box Surface Cover with Solid Lid

Overview

The Middle Atlantic EFB45BTCSN is a surface-mount solid-lid cover designed for the Evolution (EFB45) raised floor box series. In satin nickel finish, it provides a clean, professional termination point for AV, power, and data infrastructure in commercial environments — boardrooms, executive suites, training rooms, and anywhere a floor box needs a polished, closed-face appearance when not in active use.

The EFB45BTCSN ships as a surface cover style, meaning it mounts flush over the floor box opening without recessing into the surrounding flooring material — a practical choice for installations where the floor substrate does not permit or require a recessed cutout. The solid lid keeps the receptacle bay protected and the floor plane uncluttered when connections are not needed.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: Designed to mount directly over the floor box without requiring a flooring cutout. Simplifies retrofits and installations on concrete, raised-access tile, or hard flooring where recessing is impractical.
• Solid Lid: Closes the receptacle bay completely when not in use — keeps dust, debris, and foot traffic out of the connector field, reducing maintenance and protecting installed cables and modules.
• Standard Receptacle Type: Compatible with standard receptacle configurations in the EFB45 Evolution floor box family, giving you flexibility to populate the bay with power and data modules per project requirements.
• Satin Nickel Finish: Coordinates with commercial hardware and architectural fixtures in hospitality, corporate, and higher-education environments where appearance matters alongside function.
• TAA Compliant: The EFB45BTCSN meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for federal government contracts, GSA schedules, and public-sector procurement programs that mandate TAA-compliant products.

Integration & Compatibility

The EFB45BTCSN is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic Evolution floor box platform. Verify your specific EFB45 box configuration and floor finish before ordering — surface cover style suits hard-floor and raised-access environments, while flush and recessed variants are available for carpet or tile inlays. For broader floor box infrastructure planning, confirm receptacle module compatibility before finalizing cover selection. Integrators specifying this cover for AV or security infrastructure buildouts should cross-reference Middle Atlantic's AV infrastructure line for compatible power and data modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the EFB45BTCSN TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The EFB45BTCSN is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, qualifying it for federal government, GSA schedule, and other public-sector procurement programs with TAA requirements.

Q: What cover style is the EFB45BTCSN?

A: The EFB45BTCSN uses a surface cover style, meaning it mounts over the floor box opening without requiring a recess cut into the flooring material. This suits concrete, raised-access tile, and hard-floor installations.

Q: What finish does the EFB45BTCSN come in?

A: Satin nickel. This finish is well-suited to commercial and corporate environments where the floor box hardware should coordinate with room fixtures and architectural millwork.

Q: What receptacle type does the EFB45BTCSN support?

A: Standard receptacle type. This accommodates the standard module configurations used in the Middle Atlantic Evolution EFB45 floor box series for power and data connectivity.

James Everett

The EFB45BTCSN comes up most often in corporate AV and conference room buildouts where the floor box needs to disappear when it's not in use. The surface cover style means you're not cutting into flooring — that's a meaningful advantage on retrofit projects over concrete or existing raised-access tile where a recess modification would add cost and schedule time.

Technical Highlights:

• Surface Mount Style: No flooring cutout required — installs directly over the EFB45 box opening, keeping retrofits on hard or raised-access floors straightforward and low-disruption.
• Solid Lid: Keeps the receptacle bay closed when not active — reduces dust ingress into connector modules and presents a clean floor plane for foot-traffic areas.
• TAA Compliance: Directly qualifies the EFB45BTCSN for GSA schedule and federal contract procurement without requiring a waiver or equivalency review.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm surface vs. recessed cover style matches your floor substrate before ordering — surface style does not sit flush with carpet or tile inlay installations, which require a different cover variant.
• Receptacle module population is separate — the EFB45BTCSN cover does not include power or data modules; specify those independently based on your AV or data connectivity requirements.

Best fit for federal building AV infrastructure, GSA-spec conference rooms, and commercial hard-floor environments where a TAA-compliant, low-profile floor box termination is required without flooring modification.
