Middle Atlantic 7011ULBC CabinetMate Plug-In Outlet Center
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 7011ULBC is a rack-mount plug-in outlet center designed for AV, security, and IT equipment enclosures where you need reliable 15-amp AC distribution without a dedicated hardwired power circuit. The 7011ULBC ships in gray to blend with standard rack infrastructure and pairs directly with compatible Middle Atlantic rack enclosures as a drop-in power solution. If your cabinet needs clean, organized outlet access for switches, NVRs, recorders, or edge devices — and you want to avoid running separate power strips or daisy-chaining surge protectors — this is the product class to evaluate.
TAA compliance makes the 7011ULBC a legitimate option for US federal projects, state and local government installations, and any procurement subject to the Trade Agreements Act. That certification is built-in, not an add-on, so you don't need to source a separate compliant power strip for mixed commercial/government deployments.
For context on the broader Middle Atlantic power and enclosure lineup, the Middle Atlantic catalog includes rackmount power, cable management, and equipment enclosures spanning light commercial to broadcast-grade infrastructure.
Key Features
- 15-Amp Circuit Capacity: Handles a full 15A load at 120V — enough headroom for a populated security rack running an NVR, managed PoE switch, and access control panel simultaneously without tripping the breaker during peak startup current draw.
- Eleven 5-15R Receptacles: Eleven NEMA 5-15R outlets in a single unit means fewer power strips competing for rack space. In a dense rack enclosure, that outlet count handles most mid-size equipment deployments without stacking multiple power strips.
- 6 ft (1.8 m) Cord: The 6-foot cord gives you enough reach to connect to a wall outlet or PDU at the bottom of a floor-standing rack without cable tension or awkward routing — a practical detail that saves time during installation.
- TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance means this unit qualifies for GSA schedules and federal/government purchasing programs. For integrators handling both commercial and government projects, a TAA-compliant outlet center removes a procurement friction point.
- Plug-In Installation: No electrician required for installation — plug-in design means the unit is operational as soon as it's seated in the enclosure and connected to a standard 15A circuit. Speeds up rack commissioning on tight project timelines.
- Gray Finish: The gray color matches standard Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure aesthetics, keeping the installation visually clean. Minor detail, but visible in open-frame or glass-door racks where finish consistency matters to the end client.
Integration and Compatibility
The 7011ULBC is designed as part of the Middle Atlantic CabinetMate line, intended for use with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures. The NEMA 5-15R receptacles accept standard North American 3-prong plugs, so compatibility with typical rack-mount security, AV, and IT equipment is straightforward. Verify your enclosure's mounting rail spacing and available rack units against the unit's physical dimensions before ordering — Middle Atlantic publishes enclosure compatibility data on their product pages. For installations requiring power distribution with surge protection or UPS backup, evaluate whether a standalone PDU or UPS better fits the project's uptime requirements, as the 7011ULBC is a passive outlet center without surge or battery backup.
Integrators building out NVR-based surveillance systems will find this unit a practical fit for powering ancillary rack equipment alongside the recorder — switches, modems, and control panels that don't connect via PoE.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 7011ULBC TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 7011ULBC is verified TAA compliant, making it eligible for US federal, state, and local government procurement under applicable Trade Agreements Act requirements.
Q: How many outlets does the 7011ULBC provide?
A: The 7011ULBC provides 11 NEMA 5-15R receptacles.
Q: What is the cord length on the 7011ULBC?
A: The 7011ULBC includes a 6 ft (1.8 m) power cord.
Q: What is the amperage rating of the 7011ULBC?
A: The 7011ULBC is rated at 15 amps.
Q: Does the 7011ULBC include surge protection or UPS functionality?
A: No. The 7011ULBC is a passive plug-in outlet center. It does not include surge protection or battery backup. For those features, a dedicated PDU with surge suppression or a UPS would be required.
Q: What enclosures is the 7011ULBC designed for?
A: The 7011ULBC is part of the Middle Atlantic CabinetMate line and is designed for use with compatible Middle Atlantic rack enclosures. Verify enclosure compatibility with Middle Atlantic's published specifications before ordering.
The 7011ULBC is a straightforward power distribution unit, but the details that matter most on a real job site are exactly the ones this unit gets right: 15A capacity with 11 outlets means you're not improvising with consumer power strips in a rack that costs more than your car, and the TAA compliance stamp means you can spec it into a government facility without a separate procurement exception.
Technical Highlights:
- 15-Amp Rating: A full 15A at 120V supports the typical mixed-load security rack — NVR, managed switch, access control panel, and a couple of ancillary devices — without overloading a standard branch circuit.
- 11 x NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Eleven receptacles in a single mount-ready unit eliminates the daisy-chain problem that plagues racks where power was an afterthought. One unit, one cord back to the panel.
- 6 ft Cord: The 1.8 m cord is long enough to reach a wall outlet or in-rack PDU from a standard mid-height mounting position — no extension cord, no cable strain at the plug.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 7011ULBC is a passive outlet center with no surge suppression, no EMI filtering, and no battery backup. In any deployment where power quality or uptime is a concern — and in most commercial security installs, it should be — plan a UPS or line conditioner upstream of this unit.
- TAA compliance is confirmed, but always verify the current GSA schedule listing for the 7011ULBC against your specific contract vehicle requirements before final procurement sign-off.
For a government facility, municipal building, or court house security rack where TAA compliance is non-negotiable and outlet count needs to cover a full equipment complement, the 7011ULBC is the right unit to spec — provided you've got surge and battery backup handled upstream.
