Middle Atlantic Floor BOX Cover Assembly - RFB119CTCBK

Middle Atlantic RFB119CTCBK Floor Box Cover Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RFB119CTCBK is a carpet cover assembly designed for the RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor boxes — a finishing component that closes out in-floor infrastructure installations in commercial AV, security, and structured-cabling environments. At 12.5 inches deep, 1.75 inches wide, and 1.5 inches tall, it provides a low-profile termination that sits flush with finished flooring without creating a trip hazard or leaving cable pathways exposed. The black finish integrates cleanly into dark carpet or tile environments without drawing attention to the floor infrastructure beneath.

TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, making the Middle Atlantic RFB119CTCBK a straightforward line item for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act. Government integrators and GSA schedule contractors can specify it without additional compliance review.

Key Features

• 12.5-Inch Depth: The 12.5 in (31.8 cm) depth accommodates the full cavity of RFB9 and RFB11 series floor box installations — enough room for connectorized cable tails, keystone inserts, and outlet modules to sit below the cover plane without compression or pinching. Shallow covers on deep boxes create wiring problems; this depth eliminates that mismatch.
• Low-Profile 1.5-Inch Height: At 1.5 in (3.8 cm) tall, the cover assembly keeps the above-floor footprint minimal. In high-traffic areas like conference rooms, training centers, or control rooms, a low-profile cover reduces snag and trip risk compared to taller legacy covers — a meaningful consideration in occupied spaces where the floor box is accessed periodically but not constantly.
• 1.75-Inch Width: The 1.75 in (4.4 cm) width is matched to the RFB9/RFB11 series opening geometry. Correct-width covers prevent gaps at the cover-to-floor interface, which matter both aesthetically and practically — gaps collect debris and allow moisture ingress in environments where floors are wet-mopped.
• Black Finish: The black colorway suits dark carpet installations and minimizes visual contrast against common commercial flooring. For integrators finishing a boardroom or executive suite floor box, color match to the flooring reduces client pushback on visible infrastructure.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance for this SKU means the RFB119CTCBK is eligible for federal procurement, government facilities contracts, and projects requiring Buy American Act or Trade Agreements Act conformance. Specify it directly on government project submittals without substitution risk.

Integration & Compatibility

The RFB119CTCBK is engineered specifically for the RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor boxes from Middle Atlantic. These series are common in commercial AV integration, structured cabling, and in-floor power/data distribution for conference rooms, training facilities, and operations centers. If your floor box is a different series or a third-party enclosure, verify dimensional compatibility before ordering — cover assemblies are not universally interchangeable across series.

In practice, this cover assembly is the final installation step after conduit rough-in, box pour, and device population. It pairs with cable management and in-floor power distribution components in the same infrastructure layer. Integrators running a complete floor box termination should confirm the cover series against the box series at the bill-of-materials stage, not at pull-through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the RFB119CTCBK TAA compliant?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is verified for the RFB119CTCBK, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act.

Q: Which floor box series is the RFB119CTCBK compatible with?

Q: What color is the RFB119CTCBK?

A: Black. It suits dark carpet and tile installations where minimizing visual contrast with the floor finish is a priority.

Q: What are the dimensions of the RFB119CTCBK?

A: Depth 12.5 in (31.8 cm), width 1.75 in (4.4 cm), height 1.5 in (3.8 cm).

Q: Is the RFB119CTCBK suitable for government or federal projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, so it can be specified on government submittals without additional compliance review for Trade Agreements Act requirements.

The RFB119CTCBK is the kind of component that gets missed on the BOM until someone's standing on a finished floor with an open box cavity and no cover. It's a carpet cover assembly purpose-built for Middle Atlantic's RFB9 and RFB11 series concrete floor boxes — 12.5 inches deep, 1.75 wide, 1.5 tall, black, TAA compliant. Simple part, but the wrong cover or a missing cover on a government job creates a punch-list item that delays certificate of occupancy.

Technical Highlights:

• 12.5 in Depth: Matches the RFB9/RFB11 cavity depth — connectorized cable tails and keystone inserts have room to seat properly without the cover forcing compression on the wiring inside.
• 1.5 in Profile Height: Low enough to stay compliant with ADA and general trip-hazard guidelines in occupied commercial spaces. Taller covers on high-traffic floors are a liability; 1.5 in keeps it workable.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed on this SKU — puts it on the short list for government AV/IT infrastructure contracts without requiring a variance or substitution approval.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm series compatibility at the BOM stage: this cover fits RFB9 and RFB11 series only. Pulling the wrong cover to a job site on a concrete pour day is a hard stop.
• The black finish is the only color option for this SKU — if the finish floor is light carpet or tile, check whether Middle Atlantic offers an alternate color in the RFB9/RFB11 cover line before finalizing the spec.

Best fit for government-rated commercial AV and structured-cabling installations — conference rooms, training centers, operations floors — where TAA compliance is a procurement requirement and the floor box series is already specified as RFB9 or RFB11.
