Middle Atlantic AMD8CTCGY Floor Box Cover Kit

Overview

The Middle Atlantic AMD8CTCGY is an 8-port floor box cover kit built to close out communication and AV connectivity points in raised-access floors and in-floor boxes. It pairs a gray flush cover plate with a matching gray connector cover, designed around 881-series PVC floor box bodies. For integrators finishing conference rooms, trading floors, or open-plan offices where cabling needs to surface at a fixed floor point rather than a wall, the AMD8CTCGY gives you a finished, code-tidy termination point instead of exposed conduit or a loose grommet. This is a hardware accessory, not an active device — its job is mechanical: protect the port field, keep the floor penetration weather- and foot-traffic-tolerant, and present a clean gray face that doesn't fight with typical commercial flooring finishes.

Key Features

• 8-Port Capacity: The cover kit is built around an 8-port field, enough to consolidate AV, data, and low-voltage connections at a single floor location instead of running multiple smaller boxes — fewer floor penetrations to core, patch, and maintain.
• Gray Finish (FL and CV Components): Both the floor (FL) cover and the connector (CV) cover ship in a matched gray finish, so the visible flush plate and the connector housing read as one assembly rather than mismatched parts sourced separately.
• 881 PVC Compatibility: Engineered to fit 881-series PVC floor box bodies, a common in-floor box format in commercial construction — confirm your existing or specified floor box is 881-pattern before ordering, since cover kits are box-specific by design.
• 1 lb Shipping Weight: Light enough that freight isn't a factor in project budgeting or multi-unit ordering across a floor plan with several drop points.
• TAA Certification: Meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements, which matters if this is going into a GSA contract, federal, or state/local government project with TAA compliance written into the procurement spec.
• 2-Year Warranty: Middle Atlantic backs the AMD8CTCGY with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, giving you a defined coverage window on the hardware for commercial installs where downtime on a floor connectivity point isn't acceptable.

Integration & Compatibility

The AMD8CTCGY is purpose-fit to 881 PVC floor boxes — it is not a universal cover and should not be paired with other box formats without verifying fit. Because the floor cover (FL) and connector cover (CV) are sold as a matched gray set, you avoid a mismatched finish between the flush plate a foot traffic sees and the connector housing beneath it. On projects standardizing on Middle Atlantic rack, cable, and connectivity hardware, this cover kit lets you keep the same brand and finish language from the rack room down to the floor box in the room it serves — useful when a single integrator or GC is responsible for finish consistency across a commercial AV package. If you're planning cable pathways from a rack or credenza to a floor drop, it's worth reviewing a cable and connectivity planning guide before finalizing port counts and box selection, since floor box capacity is fixed once the concrete or subfloor work is done. Pair this with appropriately rated cables for the runs terminating at the box, and if the room also carries AV signal distribution, check compatible AV over IP gear for what port types the 8-port field needs to support.

Ted Perry

The AMD8CTCGY is a small part on a purchase order, but it's the piece that determines whether a floor connectivity point looks finished or looks like an afterthought. This is an 8-port gray cover kit built specifically for 881 PVC floor boxes — pattern-matching matters here more than most accessories, since a cover that doesn't register to the box body won't seat flush.

Technical Highlights:

• 8-Port Field: Consolidates AV and low-voltage connections into one floor location instead of spreading them across multiple smaller boxes, which cuts down on floor penetrations during rough-in.
• Matched Gray FL/CV Finish: Both the floor cover and connector cover ship in the same gray, so you're not hunting for a color-matched connector housing after the fact.
• TAA Certification: Clears sourcing requirements on government and federally funded jobs without needing a separate compliance workaround.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the floor box body is 881 PVC before you spec this cover — it's not a universal fit, and cover kits generally aren't interchangeable across box families.
• At roughly 1 lb, this ships and handles easily, but don't let the light weight fool you into skipping a fit check against the actual box on site — confirm before the floor is closed up.

Specify the AMD8CTCGY when you've already got 881 PVC floor boxes in the plan and need an 8-port gray finish-out — typical on conference room floor drops and open-plan office pods where cabling has to surface mid-room rather than at a wall.
