Middle Atlantic GFI Recept Brkt SHL STL - RFB-GFI-SS

Middle Atlantic RFB-GFI-SS GFI Receptacle Bracket Steel Shelf

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RFB-GFI-SS is a steel ground-fault interrupter (GFI) receptacle bracket designed for integration into Middle Atlantic rack and cabinet power systems. It provides a code-compliant GFI outlet point within the rack enclosure — the right choice when local electrical code or AHJ requirements mandate ground-fault protection at the rack level, such as in wet-location IDF closets, outdoor enclosures, or anywhere within 6 feet of a water source. Rather than running a separate GFI circuit to the room, the RFB-GFI-SS mounts the protected receptacle directly in the rack, keeping the installation clean and the protection point close to the equipment.

Compatibility

The RFB-GFI-SS is designed for use with Middle Atlantic rackmount furniture and rack power accessory systems. It integrates with Middle Atlantic's RFB (Rack Floor Box) and compatible rack enclosure product families that accept receptacle bracket inserts. Confirm your specific rack series accepts the RFB bracket format before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers multiple bracket standards across their furniture lineup, and not all series share the same insert dimensions. For builds combining power distribution with rack accessories, verify the RFB-GFI-SS outlet orientation and face plate clearance against adjacent 1U components.

Installation Notes

Installation must comply with applicable NEC requirements for GFI protection in the intended environment. The steel (SS) construction provides durability over standard plastic-face brackets in high-traffic or industrial enclosure settings. Verify wire gauge compatibility and breaker sizing on the source circuit before wiring the GFI receptacle. A power distribution pre-plan that accounts for GFI trip sensitivity — GFI devices can nuisance-trip on capacitive leakage from certain switching power supplies — is recommended before final circuit assignment.
