Middle Atlantic Flush Poke-thru Aluminum - RC3ATCAA

Middle Atlantic RC3ATCAA Flush Poke-Thru Multi-Service Aluminum Device

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RC3ATCAA is a flush-mount, multi-service poke-thru device finished in aluminum, designed for clean in-floor or surface cable routing in commercial AV, security, and infrastructure installations. At 7.5 in × 7.5 in (footprint) with a 16 in depth, the RC3ATCAA accommodates substantial conduit and cable routing depth — making it a practical fit for raised-floor environments, conference rooms, and operations centers where surface cable runs are not acceptable. For integrators working through the broader Middle Atlantic product line, this unit extends the same build quality found across their rack and cable management solutions into the floor plane.

Key Features

• 7.5 in × 7.5 in flush footprint: Fits standard floor core cutouts common in commercial construction, keeping the finished floor surface clean and unobstructed — no exposed cable trays or surface raceways required.
• 16 in depth capacity: Handles the vertical run depth typical in raised-access floors and concrete-core installations; deeper than many competing poke-thru units, giving you more routing flexibility for thicker conduit bundles.
• Aluminum construction: The aluminum finish provides durability appropriate for high-traffic areas while staying visually neutral in professional environments like boardrooms, security operations centers, and lobbied entrances.
• Multi-service design: Supports simultaneous routing of power, data, and AV cabling through a single floor penetration — reduces the number of floor cores required and simplifies the cable plant in open-plan spaces.
• TAA compliance status: This unit is not TAA compliant — if your project requires TAA-compliant components (federal, GSA schedule, or government-funded deployments), verify your procurement requirements before ordering.

Integration & Compatibility

The RC3ATCAA is intended for installation in commercial flooring systems, including raised-access floors and concrete slabs with standard poke-thru core dimensions. It pairs naturally with structured cabling deployments feeding network switches, power distribution units, and security endpoint devices. Confirm rough-in dimensions and floor system compatibility with your general contractor before specifying — the 7.5 in × 7.5 in × 16 in envelope must clear your floor assembly depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the dimensions of the RC3ATCAA?

A: The RC3ATCAA measures 7.5 in wide × 7.5 in tall (footprint) with a 16 in depth (40.6 cm deep, 19.1 cm × 19.1 cm face).

Q: Is the RC3ATCAA TAA compliant?

A: No. The RC3ATCAA is not TAA compliant. Projects with federal procurement or GSA schedule requirements should verify compliance needs before ordering.

Q: What finish does the RC3ATCAA come in?

A: The RC3ATCAA is finished in aluminum.

Q: What type of installation is the RC3ATCAA designed for?

A: The RC3ATCAA is a flush poke-thru device designed for in-floor installation in commercial environments, routing multiple service types (power, data, AV) through a single floor penetration.

Q: What floor depth does the RC3ATCAA require?

A: The RC3ATCAA has a 16 in (40.6 cm) depth — confirm your floor assembly or raised-access floor void clears this dimension before rough-in.

Karl Wilson

The RC3ATCAA's 16 in depth is what stands out to me on first review — most spec sheets list a face dimension and leave you guessing on the rough-in depth, and 16 inches clears the majority of raised-access floor voids I encounter in commercial security and AV buildouts. That one number determines whether this unit is even installable in your floor system before you cut anything.

Technical Highlights:

• 7.5 in × 7.5 in face: Matches standard commercial poke-thru core cutout sizing, which keeps the installation straightforward and avoids custom floor patching.
• 16 in installation depth: Provides sufficient vertical clearance for bundled conduit runs in raised-floor data centers and operations centers — deeper than many single-service units.
• Aluminum finish: Holds up in high-traffic commercial settings without the wear marks that painted steel accumulates over time; visually appropriate for client-facing spaces.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your floor assembly depth clears 16 in before committing to the rough-in — on shallower slab-on-grade pours with minimal void, this unit won't fit without supplemental core depth.
• The RC3ATCAA is not TAA compliant — flag this early on any government, education, or GSA-schedule project where TAA is a hard requirement, not an afterthought at closeout.

This unit fits best in corporate boardrooms, security operations centers, and commercial office builds where a clean floor plane matters and the floor system has the depth to support it — not the right call for shallow slab installs or TAA-gated government projects.
