Middle Atlantic 7011ULBD20R CabinetMate Plug-In Outlet Center
The Middle Atlantic 7011ULBD20R is a rackmount plug-in outlet center from the 7011UL CabinetMate series, designed to distribute 20-amp AC power inside equipment enclosures and rack cabinets. Built to TAA-compliant standards, it suits federal and government-contracted installations where domestic sourcing requirements apply. If you're wiring a security rack, AV enclosure, or IT cabinet that needs clean in-cabinet power distribution, the 7011ULBD20R is a direct-to-rack solution from Middle Atlantic's rack power lineup.
Key Features
- 20-Amp Circuit Rating: At 20A, this outlet center handles the aggregate draw of a populated rack — NVRs, managed switches, encoders, and access control panels — without tripping a 15A-rated strip mid-shift. Size your upstream breaker accordingly.
- 1.5 ft (0.5 m) Cord: The short 1.5-foot pigtail is intentional for in-cabinet use. It connects cleanly to a nearby PDU or dedicated circuit without excess cord management overhead inside the enclosure. If you need reach to a remote panel, plan a local PDU feed first.
- TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — a hard procurement gate for federal agencies, DoD integrators, and GSA Schedule buyers. If your project has TAA language in the SOW, the 7011ULBD20R clears that requirement. Verify your full BOM; one non-compliant component can flag an entire submission.
- CabinetMate Series Design: Engineered to install inside Middle Atlantic enclosures, this outlet center mounts flush and does not consume rack-unit space the way a 1U or 2U horizontal PDU would — useful when your rack layout is already tight.
Integration & Compatibility
The 7011ULBD20R is part of Middle Atlantic's broader rack power distribution ecosystem. It pairs with Middle Atlantic enclosures and cabinets where space-efficient in-cabinet power is the priority. For larger deployments with monitoring requirements, consider whether a metered or switched PDU from the same family better fits your remote management needs. For installations requiring UPS backup, pair upstream with an appropriately rated UPS or power conditioning unit. Consult your rack accessory selection to ensure mounting compatibility with your specific enclosure model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 7011ULBD20R TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 7011ULBD20R is TAA compliant, making it suitable for federal, government, and GSA Schedule procurements that require Trade Agreements Act compliance.
Q: What is the amperage rating of the 7011ULBD20R?
A: The 7011ULBD20R is rated at 20 amps, supporting the aggregate power draw of populated security or AV rack equipment.
Q: How long is the power cord on the 7011ULBD20R?
A: The cord is 1.5 feet (0.5 meters), designed for short in-cabinet connections to a nearby PDU or dedicated circuit.
Q: What type of installation is the 7011ULBD20R designed for?
A: It is designed for in-cabinet power distribution inside rack enclosures — not as a standalone power strip. It fits within Middle Atlantic CabinetMate enclosure systems.
The 7011ULBD20R is one of those components that either gets spec'd correctly the first time or causes a last-minute change order on the job site. The 20A rating is the critical number here — if your rack has an NVR, a PoE switch, and a few access control panels running simultaneously, a 15A outlet center will trip under load peaks. The short 1.5-foot cord is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation: it signals this unit is meant to live inside an enclosure fed by a local circuit, not daisy-chained across a rack bay.
Technical Highlights:
- 20-Amp Rating: Supports higher aggregate rack loads than 15A alternatives — practical for multi-device security enclosures where NVRs and PoE switches run 24/7.
- 1.5 ft Cord: Short pigtail minimizes cord management inside the cabinet and enforces correct installation practice — connect to a PDU or circuit within the enclosure, not across the room.
- TAA Compliance: Clears federal and GSA procurement gates without additional documentation burden — verify the rest of your BOM matches if the project SOW has TAA language.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 1.5-foot cord length means you must plan your power feed topology before rack population — the upstream circuit or PDU needs to be inside or immediately adjacent to the enclosure.
- Evidence covers only three verified specs; confirm outlet count, UL listing details, and surge/filter capabilities directly from the Middle Atlantic datasheet before finalizing for a critical infrastructure rack.
Best fit for government or DoD security rack builds where TAA compliance is a hard requirement and the cabinet already has a local 20A circuit feed — particularly access control or surveillance enclosures using Middle Atlantic cabinet infrastructure.
