Middle Atlantic Narrow 48IN Gray W/10 5- - 4810BDS20R

Middle Atlantic 4810BDS20R CabinetMate Plug-In Outlet Center

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 4810BDS20R is a 20-amp, TAA-compliant plug-in outlet center built for rack-mounted AV and security equipment installations where clean power distribution and procurement compliance are non-negotiable. If you're wiring a surveillance head-end, security operations rack, or AV equipment cabinet and need a reliable, government-procurement-eligible power strip with enough cord length to reach a dedicated 20A circuit, the 4810BDS20R is the specification-level answer. Explore the full Middle Atlantic power and rack product line for complementary rack infrastructure components.

Key Features

• 20-Amp Capacity: Rated for a full 20A draw, this unit supports the combined load of NVRs, managed switches, access control panels, and other rack gear without tripping a shared 15A circuit. Size your branch circuit accordingly — a 20A outlet and 12 AWG wiring are required at the source.
• 15-Foot Cord (4.6m): The 15ft power cord gives you real flexibility in equipment room layouts. Most rack-to-PDU runs require 6–10ft; the extra length means you can position the rack without being forced to locate it directly adjacent to the wall outlet — useful in retrofits and server room builds where circuits aren't always where you'd want them.
• TAA Compliant: TAA compliance means this unit is eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal procurement on GSA schedules and government contracts. For integrators bidding on government facility upgrades or public-sector surveillance deployments, specifying a TAA-compliant rack power strip avoids sourcing friction and keeps the project on-schedule.

Integration and Compatibility

The 4810BDS20R is designed to mount inside Middle Atlantic equipment cabinets and rack enclosures, though it functions as a plug-in unit compatible with standard 20A outlets. It pairs naturally with PoE network switches, NVRs, and other security rack infrastructure. For planning a full head-end power layout, refer to a rack power planning guide to calculate total load and determine whether a single 20A circuit or multiple branch circuits are needed for your deployment. For broader Middle Atlantic rack system options, the Middle Atlantic rack systems category covers enclosures, cable management, and mounting accessories that pair with this unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 4810BDS20R TAA compliant for government procurement?

A: Yes. The 4810BDS20R is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government agency procurement under GSA schedules.

Q: What circuit is required to support the 4810BDS20R?

A: The unit is rated at 20 amps, so it requires a dedicated 20A branch circuit with a 20A outlet and appropriately gauged wiring (typically 12 AWG). Do not plug it into a standard 15A outlet.

Q: How long is the power cord on the 4810BDS20R?

A: The cord is 15 feet (4.6 meters), providing enough reach for most equipment room and rack-to-wall-outlet runs.

Q: Is the 4810BDS20R a rack-mount or plug-in unit?

A: It is a plug-in outlet center designed for use inside Middle Atlantic cabinets. It is not a standalone rackmount PDU with its own rack ears.

The 4810BDS20R comes up on my bench spec sheets whenever a client is outfitting a government-eligible security rack and needs the power distribution to hold up on procurement review — that 20A rating paired with TAA compliance is the combination that closes those conversations fast.

Technical Highlights:

• 20A Rating: Handles the aggregate draw of a full surveillance head-end — NVR, PoE switch, access control hardware — without pushing against a 15A limit that causes nuisance trips during peak load events.
• 15ft Cord: At 4.6 meters, this cord handles the gap between a rack positioned for cable management and a circuit that's across the room — saves a conduit run in many retrofit installs.
• TAA Compliance: Locks in eligibility for GSA schedule procurement. On government facility bids, a non-TAA power strip can hold up an entire equipment list at the compliance review stage.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the wall outlet is a NEMA 5-20R (the 20A T-slot receptacle) before spec'ing this unit — a standard 15A duplex outlet will not accept the 20A plug, and swapping the outlet means coordinating with an electrician on the site visit.
• Evidence confirms only three specs for this SKU: amperage, cord length, and TAA status. If you need surge protection, filtered outlets, or metered PDU monitoring, confirm those features in Middle Atlantic's broader product family before committing this part number to a spec sheet.

Best fit: government facility surveillance and AV head-ends, municipal security operations centers, or any rack build where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and the circuit run exceeds 10 feet from outlet to rack.
