Middle Atlantic Flush Poke-thru ASSY/20A/ - RC4ATCAL

Middle Atlantic RC4ATCAL Flush Poke-Thru Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RC4ATCAL is a flush poke-through assembly rated at 20A, designed for managed cable access in commercial floors, conference rooms, and structured AV/IT environments. At 8.25 in × 8.25 in (21 cm × 21 cm) with a 16.38 in (41.6 cm) depth, it accommodates the vertical clearance typical of raised-access floors and deep concrete pours without modification. The aluminum and black finish integrates cleanly into finished commercial interiors where exposed conduit is not acceptable. TAA compliance makes the RC4ATCAL a straightforward procurement for federal facilities, GSA schedules, and government-adjacent projects where domestic sourcing verification is required.

Key Features

• 20A Power Rating: handles the load demands of conference room AV gear, laptop charging, and peripheral devices without requiring a dedicated circuit upgrade on most commercial panels — relevant when retrofitting existing floor boxes.
• 8.25 in × 8.25 in Footprint (21 cm × 21 cm): fits standard commercial poke-through cutout dimensions, reducing field modification time during installation in tile or concrete floors.
• 16.38 in Depth (41.6 cm): accommodates deeper slab installations and raised-floor environments where shallow-depth units would require custom adapters or rework.
• Aluminum/Black Finish: the dual-tone aluminum and black housing presents a professional appearance in boardrooms and collaboration spaces where aesthetics are a specification requirement alongside function.
• TAA Compliant: verified compliant with the Trade Agreements Act, supporting use on TAA-compliant project builds, federal procurement vehicles, and E-rate eligible installations without additional sourcing documentation.

Integration & Compatibility

The RC4ATCAL is designed for multi-service floor deployment where power, data, and AV connections converge at a single access point. The 20A rating and flush-mount form factor make it compatible with conference room furniture cutouts and open-plan office flooring systems. Pair it with appropriate structured cabling and cable management components to complete the floor-to-rack pathway. Verify slab depth at the installation site against the 16.38 in depth spec before ordering — this is the most common field mismatch on retrofit projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the RC4ATCAL TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The RC4ATCAL is TAA compliant, making it suitable for federal government projects, GSA schedule purchases, and other procurements requiring Trade Agreements Act conformance.

Q: What is the power rating of the RC4ATCAL?

A: The RC4ATCAL is rated at 20A.

Q: What are the dimensions of the RC4ATCAL?

A: The unit measures 8.25 in × 8.25 in (21 cm × 21 cm) with a depth of 16.38 in (41.6 cm).

Q: What finish does the RC4ATCAL come in?

A: Aluminum and black.

Q: What floor depth is required to install the RC4ATCAL?

A: The unit requires at least 16.38 inches (41.6 cm) of clearance below the finished floor surface. Confirm slab or raised-floor cavity depth before installation.

Ted Perry

The RC4ATCAL's 16.38 in depth is the spec I always flag first on retrofit projects — most integrators assume standard poke-thrus clear at 10–12 inches and get burned when the concrete slab is thicker than the architectural drawings show. Measure the cavity before you quote this unit.

Technical Highlights:

• 20A Rating: adequate for AV and IT peripheral loads in a conference room setting; if you're feeding high-draw equipment like large displays plus charging, verify the circuit breaker allocation upstream before specifying.
• 8.25 in × 8.25 in Footprint: aligns with standard commercial floor-box cutout templates, which matters on tile floors where re-cutting is expensive and visible.
• TAA Compliance: confirmed on this SKU — no additional sourcing paperwork needed for GSA or federal bid submissions.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 16.38 in depth is the primary field constraint — confirm raised-floor or slab cavity clearance before installation, particularly on retrofit jobs where drawings may not reflect actual poured depth.
• Color is aluminum/black; if the project spec calls for a single-tone finish, verify finish requirements with the end client before ordering since returns on installed floor infrastructure are rarely straightforward.

The RC4ATCAL is the right call for government-bid conference room builds and federal campus AV installations where TAA compliance is non-negotiable and a flush, finished appearance is required at the floor level.
