Middle Atlantic 7011ULBD CabinetMate Plug-In Outlet Center
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 7011ULBD is a 15-amp plug-in outlet center from the 7011UL CabinetMate line — a straightforward, TAA-compliant power distribution unit built for rack and cabinet installations where you need a clean, code-compliant way to deliver AC outlets inside an enclosure. With a compact 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord, this unit is sized to keep wiring tight and organized inside the cabinet rather than running excess cable through the enclosure. If you're provisioning security rack enclosures, AV equipment bays, or IT cabinets for government or federally funded projects, the TAA compliance status matters at procurement — the 7011ULBD satisfies that requirement without needing a sourcing waiver.

Key Features
- 15-Amp Rating: Handles standard 15A circuits — enough headroom for mixed AV/security loads on a single breaker leg without nuisance tripping under normal operating draws.
- 1.5 ft Cord Length: The short 0.5 m lead keeps slack minimal inside the cabinet, which matters in dense builds where excess cord creates airflow and organization problems. Plan your outlet positioning relative to the nearest power feed before mounting.
- TAA Compliant: Verified TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance on the 7011ULBD means this unit qualifies for U.S. federal, state, and municipality purchasing programs — relevant for government facility integrators working under GSA schedules or similar procurement frameworks where country-of-origin documentation is required at the line-item level.
Integration and Compatibility
The 7011ULBD is designed to install inside rack and cabinet enclosures from the Middle Atlantic CabinetMate ecosystem. The plug-in format means no hardwiring — the unit connects to a standard 15A wall or PDU outlet via its 1.5 ft cord. Verify your enclosure's internal depth and mounting rail spacing against Middle Atlantic's published compatibility data for the 7011UL series before ordering. For deployments requiring surge protection or UPS integration upstream, pair this unit with compatible power conditioning equipment on the same circuit — the outlet center itself provides no surge or filtering function based on available specifications. Check your total connected load against the 15A circuit rating, leaving reasonable headroom for startup inrush from any switching power supplies in the rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 7011ULBD TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 7011ULBD is verified TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government procurement programs that require country-of-origin compliance.
Q: What is the amperage rating of the 7011ULBD?
A: The 7011ULBD is rated at 15 amps, suitable for standard 15A circuits used in rack and cabinet installations.
Q: How long is the power cord on the 7011ULBD?
A: The cord measures 1.5 ft (0.5 m), designed to keep cabling compact and organized within the enclosure.
Q: Does the 7011ULBD provide surge protection?
A: Surge protection is not listed in the available specifications for the 7011ULBD. If surge protection is required, pair this unit with an upstream surge-protective device or UPS on the same circuit.
Q: What outlet type does the 7011ULBD use?
A: The 7011ULBD uses 5-15R outlets, the standard NEMA 15-amp receptacle configuration.
The 7011ULBD comes up regularly in government facility builds specifically because of its TAA compliance status — that single spec eliminates a paperwork exception that can delay procurement on federally funded projects. At 15A with a 1.5 ft cord, this unit is purpose-sized for internal cabinet power distribution rather than anything requiring long runs.
Technical Highlights:
- 15A Circuit Rating: Handles the standard circuit amperage found in most rack environments — plan your total connected load and leave at least 20% headroom to stay within NEC guidelines for continuous loads.
- 1.5 ft (0.5 m) Cord: Short by design — this keeps the cord from becoming a cable management liability inside the enclosure. If your power feed is more than a foot or two from the unit's mounting position, plan accordingly before installation.
- TAA Compliance: Verified at the SKU level for the 7011ULBD — not a blanket brand claim. Documents the country-of-origin requirement for GSA schedule orders and similar federal procurement frameworks.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 1.5 ft cord length is a hard constraint — verify the distance from your enclosure's internal power feed point to the outlet center mounting location before you have the unit on-site.
- No surge or filtering function is documented for this unit. If the downstream equipment is sensitive to power quality, an upstream UPS or power conditioner on the same circuit is the right approach.
The 7011ULBD is the right call for TAA-required rack builds — government integrators fitting security or AV enclosures under GSA or state procurement schedules where every line item needs compliant country-of-origin documentation.
