Middle Atlantic Flush Poke-thru Assy 20A/ - RC7ATCAL

Middle Atlantic RC7ATCAL Flush Poke-Thru Floor Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RC7ATCAL is a flush-mount, multi-service poke-thru floor assembly rated at 20A, designed for conference rooms, boardrooms, and open-plan commercial spaces where power and low-voltage services need to surface cleanly from a concrete or raised floor without exposed conduit runs. At 7 in × 7 in (17.8 cm × 17.8 cm) with a 16 in (40.6 cm) depth, the RC7ATCAL accommodates the full stack of services — AC power, data, AV — in a single floor cutout, keeping the space free of cable management hardware that competes with furniture placement. The aluminum and black finish integrates naturally into both commercial carpet tile and hard-surface flooring environments. TAA compliance makes this a straightforward procurement choice for federal facilities, government contractors, and GSA schedule buyers who need Buy American Act conformance without a waiver process.

Key Features

• 20A Power Rating: handles the load of a dual-monitor workstation, a docking station, and peripheral charging simultaneously without tripping a shared circuit — relevant when deploying in high-density open-office or training room layouts where each floor position supports a full user setup.
• 7 × 7 in Footprint (17.8 × 17.8 cm): the square form factor fits a standard poke-thru floor cutout template, which simplifies coordination with flooring contractors and avoids custom core drilling — keep your install timeline predictable on occupied-floor retrofits.
• 16 in Depth (40.6 cm): accommodates the full depth of a standard concrete slab pour plus the underfloor plenum clearance needed for connector routing, so the assembly seats fully without modification in most commercial construction profiles.
• Aluminum / Black Finish: the aluminum surround resists the mechanical wear of foot traffic and chair casters that would mark or crack a plastic bezel over time; the black insert blends with conference room AV installations where dark tones are the design norm.
• TAA Compliant: verified compliance with the Trade Agreements Act means the RC7ATCAL satisfies federal procurement requirements under FAR 52.225-5 out of the box — no additional documentation burden for your contracting officer on GSA, SEWP, or state cooperative contract vehicles.
• Multi-Service Architecture: the RC7ATCAL's RC7 platform is designed to carry power, data, and AV modules in a single assembly — consolidating what would otherwise be separate floor boxes into one managed opening, which reduces both the number of floor penetrations and the labor required to service each independently.
• Surface-Style Flush Mount: when closed, the assembly sits flush with the finished floor surface, eliminating trip hazards and satisfying ADA and general commercial building code requirements for floor-level protrusions in occupied spaces.

Integration & Compatibility

The RC7ATCAL fits within Middle Atlantic's RC7 multi-service poke-thru platform, which supports modular insert configurations for AC outlets, USB charging, HDMI, RJ-45, and other low-voltage services. This makes the assembly compatible with standard commercial AV infrastructure components and allows field configuration of the insert loadout to match the specific service mix required at each floor position. Integrators specifying conference room AV systems will find the RC7ATCAL works alongside ceiling-mounted displays, wireless presentation systems, and room control processors without requiring dedicated wall penetrations for every cable run. For facilities running structured cabling per TIA-568, the data module inserts accept standard keystone jack terminations, keeping the cabling plant consistent with the rest of the building. TAA compliance aligns with procurement vehicles commonly used for government and education AV deployments, where sourcing documentation is a contractual requirement rather than a preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the RC7ATCAL TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The RC7ATCAL is verified TAA compliant, satisfying Trade Agreements Act requirements for federal and government-affiliated procurement under GSA and similar contract vehicles.

Q: What are the dimensions of the RC7ATCAL?

A: The RC7ATCAL measures 7 in wide × 7 in tall × 16 in deep (17.8 cm × 17.8 cm × 40.6 cm). Plan your floor cutout and slab depth accordingly.

Q: What finish does the RC7ATCAL come in?

A: The RC7ATCAL ships in an aluminum and black finish — aluminum for the floor surround ring and black for the service insert panel.

Q: What power rating does the RC7ATCAL support?

A: The RC7ATCAL is rated at 20A, suitable for standard commercial circuit loads including dual-monitor workstations, docking stations, and AV equipment at a single floor position.

Q: What type of floor installations is the RC7ATCAL designed for?

A: The RC7ATCAL is a surface-style flush poke-thru assembly, designed for installation through concrete or raised-access floors in commercial environments such as conference rooms, open-plan offices, and training spaces.

Q: Does the RC7ATCAL support low-voltage services alongside AC power?

A: Yes. The RC7 platform is a multi-service assembly designed to carry AC power alongside data and AV low-voltage modules in a single floor opening, configurable per the insert loadout selected for each location.

The spec that drives my recommendation on the RC7ATCAL is the 16 in (40.6 cm) depth — that number determines whether this assembly installs cleanly or creates a problem the day of rough-in. Most commercial concrete slabs run 4–6 in; the remaining depth is your underfloor plenum, and 16 in total gives you enough column to route connectors and service loops without jamming hardware into the bottom of the box. That said, measure your actual slab-plus-plenum before ordering, not after.

Technical Highlights:

• 20A Rating: puts this assembly in the correct tier for a commercial workstation position — enough headroom for a docking station, two monitors, and a UC device without nuisance trips on a 20A dedicated circuit.
• 7 × 7 in Footprint: square geometry means the floor template is symmetric — no orientation error during cutout, which matters on a busy install day with multiple trades in the space.
• TAA Compliance: verified on this SKU, which closes the paperwork loop on federal and state cooperative procurements without a sourcing exception — a real time saver when the contracting officer's checklist hits your desk at 4pm.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm finished floor depth (slab + subfloor + finish material) against the 16 in assembly depth before scheduling the core drill — an under-depth plenum means the assembly will bottom out and the surround ring won't sit flush.
• The aluminum/black finish is specified; if your project has a mandatory finish-match requirement (e.g., white or brushed nickel per an interior design standard), verify finish options in the RC7 product family before committing to this SKU.

The RC7ATCAL is the right call for a GSA-schedule conference room or federal open-office buildout where TAA documentation is non-negotiable and the floor service loadout needs to carry 20A power alongside data and AV in a single, flush, traffic-rated penetration.
