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

Middle Atlantic 4810ULBD CabinetMate Plug-In Outlet Center

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 4810ULBD is a plug-in outlet center designed for structured rack and cabinet installations where a compact, reliable power distribution point is needed. With a 15-amp capacity and a 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord, the 4810ULBD is sized for close-quarters cabinet wiring — keeping the power feed short and tidy inside a rack enclosure rather than running a long cord that bunches and obstructs airflow. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward choice for government and federal procurement projects where country-of-origin requirements apply. For a broader look at the Middle Atlantic power and rack product line, the 4810ULBD fits within their CabinetMate outlet center family.

Key Features

• 15-Amp Circuit Rating: Handles standard 15A branch circuits — the common denominator for most commercial rack environments. Size your connected load to stay under 80% continuous draw (12A) per NEC best practice, which leaves headroom for inrush from switching equipment.
• 1.5 ft (0.5 m) Cord: The short cord is intentional — it routes cleanly inside a rack cabinet without excess slack. If your power inlet is more than a foot or two from the unit, plan your cabinet layout accordingly or use an appropriate extension rated for the load.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the 4810ULBD eligible for GSA schedule purchases and federal contracts where TAA compliance is a hard requirement. Verify your specific contract vehicle terms, but TAA status removes a common procurement blocker on government projects.

Integration and Compatibility

The 4810ULBD is intended for use within Middle Atlantic rack and cabinet enclosures as part of a structured power distribution solution. It plugs into a standard 15A outlet or power source within the cabinet. Pair it with an appropriately rated UPS or power conditioner upstream to protect connected equipment from surges and outages — the outlet center itself does not provide surge suppression or battery backup. Confirm your rack's available outlet position and cord routing path before ordering, as the 1.5 ft cord limits placement flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 4810ULBD TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 4810ULBD is TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on federal contracts and GSA schedule procurements with country-of-origin requirements.

Q: What is the amp rating of the 4810ULBD?

A: The 4810ULBD is rated at 15 amps. For continuous loads, NEC guidelines recommend sizing connected equipment to no more than 80% of circuit capacity, or 12 amps continuous.

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

A: The cord is 1.5 ft (0.5 m) — designed for short in-cabinet runs. Plan your rack layout to ensure the power source is within reach.

Q: Does the 4810ULBD include surge protection?

A: No surge protection is documented for the 4810ULBD in available evidence. For surge suppression or battery backup, install an appropriate UPS or power conditioner upstream.

The 4810ULBD's 1.5 ft cord is the spec that most often determines whether it fits a given installation — in tight rack bays where the inlet is immediately adjacent, it's exactly right; in larger open-frame racks where your power source is mounted at the bottom and the outlet center mid-rack, you may find yourself short. Measure before you order.

Technical Highlights:

• 15A Rating: Aligns with standard commercial branch circuits. Keep continuous load at or below 12A to stay within NEC 80% rule — relevant if you're daisy-loading AV or security equipment through this unit.
• 1.5 ft Cord: Short by design for in-cabinet use. Eliminates the cord-management problem of excess slack, but constrains placement to within half a meter of the power inlet.
• TAA Compliance: A hard procurement gate on many federal and state contracts. The 4810ULBD clears it, which means one fewer waiver to file on a government integration project.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the available outlet count and position inside your specific Middle Atlantic enclosure before specifying — the plug-in form factor assumes a compatible receptacle is accessible at the planned mounting point.
• No surge suppression or filtering is confirmed for this unit. If downstream equipment is sensitive to power quality, provision a UPS or conditioner upstream on the same circuit.

Best fit for structured government or commercial rack builds — specifically where TAA compliance is a contract requirement and the power inlet is physically close to the outlet center mounting position inside the cabinet.
