Middle Atlantic Flush Poke-thru ASSY/20A/ - RC3ATCAL

Middle Atlantic RC3ATCAL Flush Poke-Thru Assembly 20A Multi-Service Device

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RC3ATCAL is a flush-mount, multi-service poke-thru assembly designed for conference rooms, boardrooms, and open office environments where power, data, and AV connectivity need to surface cleanly through a floor or work surface. The RC3ATCAL ships fully assembled — no field wiring of individual modules required — which cuts installation time on multi-outlet conference table builds significantly. At 7.5 in × 7.5 in (19.1 cm × 19.1 cm) with a 16 in (40.6 cm) depth, it accommodates the conduit and sub-floor clearance typical of raised-floor and concrete-core construction. The aluminum/black finish blends with standard commercial furniture and architectural millwork without looking like a job-site afterthought.

Key Features

• TAA Compliant: The RC3ATCAL meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal procurement — a hard gate for government facilities and GSA schedule purchases.
• Fully Assembled Construction: Delivered as a complete assembly rather than a kit of loose components. On a multi-table conference room rollout, this translates directly to fewer labor hours and less risk of field-assembly errors that cause callbacks.
• 7.5 in × 7.5 in Footprint: The square footprint fits standard commercial poke-thru cutouts in wood, laminate, and solid-surface work surfaces. Verify your core-drill or router template matches this dimension before ordering — retrofits into existing cutouts only work if the opening size aligns.
• 16 in Depth Clearance Required: The 16 in (40.6 cm) installed depth is the critical spec to check against your floor construction before ordering. This suits standard raised-access flooring and deep concrete-core slabs; it will not fit in shallow-plenum or thin composite panels without a sleeve or recess.
• Aluminum/Black Finish: The two-tone aluminum and black colorway is specified for commercial AV and conference environments. It pairs with standard rack and cable management finishes across the Middle Atlantic product line without requiring custom color matching.
• Multi-Service Design: Designed to carry power (20A circuit) alongside data and AV services through a single floor penetration — reducing the number of separate floor cores required in a room and keeping cable routing clean under the surface.

Integration & Compatibility

The RC3ATCAL is designed to integrate with Middle Atlantic's broader AV infrastructure and rack ecosystem. For conference room builds, pair it with Middle Atlantic under-table cable management and power distribution to keep the full signal and power chain within a single product family. Confirm conduit entry compatibility with your electrical contractor — the 20A rating requires a properly protected branch circuit, and the 16 in depth must be validated against the actual sub-floor or slab cavity before rough-in. Review the Middle Atlantic catalog for compatible rack and AV furniture solutions, or browse the AV infrastructure category for complementary floor and table connectivity products. If you are specifying for a federal or government facility, TAA compliance is verified for this SKU. For PoE and data switching at the rack end of this installation, see the PoE switch category to match port density and budget to the room design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the RC3ATCAL TAA compliant for government procurement?

A: Yes. The RC3ATCAL is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal and state government purchasing contracts and GSA schedule orders.

Q: What is the required depth for installing the RC3ATCAL?

A: The RC3ATCAL requires 16 inches (40.6 cm) of depth below the mounting surface. Verify your floor construction — raised-access flooring, concrete core slabs — provides this clearance before ordering.

Q: What are the cutout dimensions for the RC3ATCAL?

A: The device body is 7.5 in × 7.5 in (19.1 cm × 19.1 cm). Match your core-drill or router template to these dimensions for a flush fit.

Q: Does the RC3ATCAL ship pre-assembled?

A: Yes. The RC3ATCAL is a fully assembled unit — no field module assembly required, which reduces installation labor and the risk of wiring errors on site.

Q: What finish does the RC3ATCAL come in?

A: The RC3ATCAL is finished in aluminum and black, suited for commercial conference room and AV furniture installations.

James Everett

The RC3ATCAL's 16 in (40.6 cm) depth requirement is the spec that most often bites installers on first encounter — it sounds straightforward until you hit a poured slab with a shallow conduit chase or a composite panel floor. Measure the cavity before you schedule rough-in, not after the furniture is delivered.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: Government and institutional buyers have a hard TAA gate on every line item. This SKU clears it, which matters on education, federal, and municipal conference room projects where a non-compliant device means a line-item rejection.
• Fully Assembled, 20A Rated: The assembly ships ready to drop in — 20A circuit capacity with no field module build. On a 10-table conference room, that's meaningful labor savings versus modular kit-style devices that require per-unit wiring at the table.
• 7.5 in × 7.5 in Body: The square form factor fits standard commercial cutout templates, but double-check custom or millwork-specified table tops — some solid-surface manufacturers use non-standard core dimensions that will require a trim ring or adapter plate.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 16 in depth is non-negotiable — confirm sub-floor or slab cavity clearance with your GC before procurement. A short cavity means you cannot use this unit without structural modification.
• The aluminum/black finish matches standard Middle Atlantic rack and furniture finishes well, but verify the specific table surface finish on high-specification executive suite builds where exact color matching is a client requirement.

The RC3ATCAL is the right spec for new-construction or major-renovation conference rooms with adequate sub-floor depth and a TAA procurement requirement — not the right call for shallow-plenum retrofits or thin composite surfaces where a surface-mount alternative will be the practical choice.
