Middle Atlantic 863DPCOM Dual-Service Wood Floor Box Kit
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 863DPCOM is a dual duplex receptacle floor box designed for commercial and AV integration environments where clean, in-floor power and connectivity access matters. At 5.75 in wide × 5.75 in deep × 4 in tall, the 863DPCOM fits a standard single-gang wood floor cutout and provides two service positions — the right infrastructure choice when you need to keep cabling off walkways in conference rooms, boardrooms, open office areas, or security operations centers. If you're specifying Middle Atlantic infrastructure for a rack or floor-distribution build, this box pairs naturally with in-ceiling and under-floor cable management.
Key Features
- 5.75 × 5.75 × 4 in compact footprint: The square profile fits a standard wood floor rough-in without requiring oversized cutouts or subfloor reinforcement. The 4 in depth clears typical raised-access-floor plenum heights, so you're not retrofitting the floor deck to make it fit.
- Dual service positions: Two duplex receptacle openings in a single box means you can provision both power and a low-voltage feed (data, AV signal) from one floor location — fewer cutouts, less conduit stub-up, cleaner finish in occupied spaces.
- Wood floor construction: Engineered for wood floor substrate installations common in corporate interiors, boardrooms, and finished commercial spaces. The box integrates flush with the floor surface, eliminating trip hazards that surface-mount raceway would introduce.
- Commercial-grade build: Middle Atlantic's power and infrastructure line is sized for integrator-grade deployments, not residential retrofit. This box is intended for professional installation into new or renovated commercial floor systems.
- Not TAA compliant: The 863DPCOM is not TAA compliant — exclude it from federal government, GSA schedule, or any contract requiring TAA compliance. For TAA-restricted bids, consult a TAA-compliant alternate in the Middle Atlantic catalog.
Integration & Compatibility
The 863DPCOM is designed for dual-service floor box installations in wood floor environments. It accepts standard duplex receptacle inserts and low-voltage mounting plates, making it compatible with common commercial electrical and AV wiring schemes. For AV and security integration projects, this box works in tandem with structured cabling runs, cable management solutions, and under-floor distribution. Confirm insert compatibility and cover plate finish with your flooring contractor prior to rough-in — the box dimensions (5.75 × 5.75 × 4 in) govern the cutout, and post-pour or post-finish modifications are costly. If your project involves rack enclosures or AV furniture with in-floor power feeds, this series integrates cleanly into Middle Atlantic's broader infrastructure ecosystem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the 863DPCOM floor box?
A: The 863DPCOM measures 5.75 in wide × 5.75 in deep × 4 in tall (14.6 × 14.6 × 10.2 cm).
Q: Is the 863DPCOM TAA compliant?
A: No. The 863DPCOM is not TAA compliant and should not be specified for federal, GSA, or TAA-restricted contracts.
Q: What floor type is the 863DPCOM designed for?
A: The 863DPCOM is engineered for wood floor installations, such as hardwood or engineered wood floors in commercial interiors, conference rooms, and boardrooms.
Q: How many service positions does the 863DPCOM provide?
A: The 863DPCOM provides two service positions (dual duplex receptacle), allowing you to provision both power and low-voltage connectivity from a single floor location.
Q: Can the 863DPCOM be used in raised-access floor environments?
A: The 4 in depth is compatible with many raised-access floor plenum heights, but confirm your specific plenum clearance before specifying. It is listed as a wood floor box and is primarily intended for that application.
The 863DPCOM comes up on almost every boardroom and operations center bid I work — specifically because the 5.75 × 5.75 in footprint fits a standard wood floor rough-in without any subfloor modification. That 4 in depth is the spec that either works or doesn't in your floor system, so confirm plenum clearance before the floor goes down.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual service positions: Two duplex openings in a 5.75 × 5.75 in box means one cutout handles both power and low-voltage — reduces labor and finish patches on expensive wood floors.
- 4 in installation depth: Clears most commercial wood floor assemblies and shallow raised-access plenum heights; verify against your actual floor build-up before spec.
- Not TAA compliant: Confirmed for the 863DPCOM — pull it from any federal or GSA bid immediately and substitute a TAA-compliant floor box before submittal.
Deployment Considerations:
- Specify the cutout template and cover plate finish at the same time as the box — mismatched cover plates on a finished hardwood floor are an expensive post-install correction.
- The 863DPCOM is a wood floor box, not a concrete or tile box — do not use it in slab or ceramic tile floors where a different box construction is required.
Best fit: corporate boardrooms, executive conference suites, and security operations centers with hardwood or engineered wood floors where clean in-floor dual-service access is required and TAA compliance is not a contract requirement.
