Middle Atlantic EFB45CTCGYTR Evolution Series Floor Box Cover with Surface Insert

The Middle Atlantic EFB45CTCGYTR is a surface-style floor box cover designed for the Evolution Series EFB45 raised floor box, finished in gray with a tamper-resistant receptacle insert. At 9.94 inches wide and just 1.19 inches tall, it sits nearly flush with the floor surface — practical for open-plan offices, conference rooms, and AV-integrated environments where cable access points need to stay accessible without creating trip hazards or inviting unauthorized tampering.

Key Features

• Surface Cover Style: the surface mount profile (1.19 in / 3 cm tall) keeps the assembly close to the floor plane, reducing the raised lip that can catch rolling carts or chair casters in high-traffic areas.
• Tamper-Resistant Receptacle: tamper-resistant outlets require simultaneous pressure on both slots to accept a plug, blocking casual insertion of foreign objects — a code-required or policy-driven spec in educational, healthcare, and public-access environments.
• Gray Finish (9.94 in / 25.2 cm wide): the neutral gray matches standard commercial carpet tile borders and raised-floor tile frames, blending into the floor plane rather than standing out as an obstruction.
• TAA Status — Not Compliant: the EFB45CTCGYTR is not TAA-compliant, which rules it out for federal government installations subject to the Trade Agreements Act. Confirm procurement requirements before specifying on GSA or government-contract projects.

Integration & Compatibility

The EFB45CTCGYTR is purpose-built as the cover and insert assembly for the Middle Atlantic Evolution Series EFB45 raised floor box platform. If you are specifying a complete floor box assembly, verify the EFB45 base is included separately — this SKU covers the lid and insert only. For AV rack and infrastructure planning, review the AV infrastructure accessories available in the Middle Atlantic line. Integrators sourcing power distribution and protection for the same room build may also need to cross-reference outlet configuration with the overall PDU spec.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the EFB45CTCGYTR TAA compliant?

A: No. The EFB45CTCGYTR is not TAA compliant and should not be specified on federal government contracts subject to the Trade Agreements Act.

Q: What floor box does the EFB45CTCGYTR cover fit?

A: It is designed for the Middle Atlantic Evolution Series EFB45 raised floor box. This SKU is the cover and insert only — the EFB45 base is a separate component.

Q: What color is the EFB45CTCGYTR?

A: Gray.

Q: What type of receptacle does the EFB45CTCGYTR include?

A: A tamper-resistant receptacle insert, which requires simultaneous pressure on both outlet slots to accept a plug — suitable for environments where code or policy requires tamper-resistant outlets.

The EFB45CTCGYTR comes up frequently on corporate AV and conference room builds where the integrator needs a surface-profile cover that doesn't create a floor obstruction — the 1.19-inch height keeps it well under the threshold where rolling carts and chair bases start catching on it during room reconfigurations.

Technical Highlights:

• 1.19 in surface profile: nearly flush with finished floor — less than a typical door threshold, which matters when you're spec'ing a room that gets rearranged frequently for events or hybrid work layouts.
• Tamper-resistant receptacle: required by NEC 406.12 in most commercial spaces accessible to children, and increasingly specified in healthcare and education regardless of code mandate — this insert satisfies that requirement out of the box.
• 9.94 in / 25.2 cm width: sized to the EFB45 footprint; ordering a mismatched cover is the most common mistake on floor box jobs — confirm the base model before purchasing this insert.

Deployment Considerations:

• This SKU is cover and insert only — the EFB45 base box is ordered separately. Verify the base is in the BOM before the floor is poured or tile is cut.
• TAA non-compliant: flag this early on any project with government end-user funding, GSA schedule purchasing, or DoD facility involvement — swapping out floor box hardware post-installation is a costly fix.

Best fit for commercial office, boardroom, and AV-integrated conference environments where a low-profile, tamper-resistant floor access point is needed and federal procurement rules are not a constraint.
