Middle Atlantic Narrow 48IN Gray W/10 5- - 4810ULBD20R

Middle Atlantic 4810ULBD20R CabinetMate Plug-In Outlet Center

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 4810ULBD20R is a 20-amp plug-in outlet center from Middle Atlantic's CabinetMate line — a purpose-built rack power distribution unit designed to deliver clean, organized AC power inside AV and IT enclosures. With a 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord and TAA-compliant construction, it suits government, defense, and enterprise deployments where supply-chain compliance is a procurement requirement. For integrators building out Middle Atlantic rack systems or sourcing rack PDU solutions, this unit drops in without the overhead of a full managed PDU when simple reliable outlet distribution is all the rack needs.

Key Features

• 20-Amp Circuit Rating: A 20A outlet center supports higher-draw rack loads — AV switchers, recorders, and compute gear that would trip a standard 15A strip under simultaneous load. Wire to a 20A dedicated circuit and you have headroom to grow the rack without swapping the PDU.
• 1.5 ft Cord Length: The short 1.5 ft (0.5 m) service cord is intentional for tight rack environments — it reaches a nearby in-rack power input or PDU tap without excess cable slack bunching inside the enclosure. If your power inlet is more than a foot from the unit, plan your rack layout accordingly before ordering.
• TAA Compliant: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this unit is manufactured in a TAA-designated country — a hard requirement for GSA schedule orders, federal contracts, and many state and local government procurement rules. If your project has a TAA line item, the 4810ULBD20R satisfies it without a waiver.

Integration & Compatibility

The 4810ULBD20R is designed to integrate within Middle Atlantic enclosure and rack systems. As a plug-in outlet center, it pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic rack cabinets and works alongside structured rack power distribution planning for AV, security, and IT infrastructure buildouts. Consult your rack power planning guide to confirm circuit load before specifying outlet count and amperage for the enclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 4810ULBD20R TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 4810ULBD20R is TAA compliant, making it eligible for GSA schedule and federal government procurement where Trade Agreements Act compliance is required.

Q: What is the amperage rating of the 4810ULBD20R?

A: The 4810ULBD20R is rated at 20 amps. It should be connected to a dedicated 20A circuit to take full advantage of that capacity.

Q: How long is the power cord on the 4810ULBD20R?

A: The cord is 1.5 ft (0.5 m). This short length is designed for in-rack power routing where the outlet center mounts close to the rack's power input or tap point.

Q: What type of rack enclosures does the 4810ULBD20R fit?

A: The 4810ULBD20R is part of Middle Atlantic's CabinetMate plug-in outlet center line, designed for use within Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure systems. Verify rack form factor and mounting compatibility with your specific enclosure model before ordering.

Q: Can the 4810ULBD20R be used on a government or institutional project?

A: Yes. TAA compliance makes it suitable for government, defense, and institutional projects with supply-chain sourcing requirements.

Marty Allison

The 4810ULBD20R gets specified on government and institutional rack builds specifically because of its TAA compliance — on a federal project, a non-compliant PDU can hold up an entire rack sign-off. The 20A rating also matters: most integrators underestimate sustained draw on an AV or security rack running recorders, switchers, and processing gear simultaneously, and a 15A strip becomes the weak link. This unit removes that risk.

Technical Highlights:

• 20-Amp Rating: Supports higher-draw rack loads that would saturate a 15A outlet center — important when a single rack aggregates NVR, AV matrix, and compute equipment running 24/7.
• 1.5 ft Cord: The short 0.5 m service cord keeps cable management clean inside the enclosure — sized for mounting close to a rack's internal power tap, not for spanning distances.
• TAA Compliance: Satisfies Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements for GSA schedule, federal, and many state/local contracts — no waiver needed, no substitution scramble mid-project.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 1.5 ft cord is a feature in tight racks but a constraint if your rack's power inlet is positioned more than one foot away from where this unit mounts — measure before finalizing rack layout.
• Confirm outlet count and outlet type against your specific rack gear before ordering; the available evidence does not detail individual outlet configuration, so verify with the manufacturer spec sheet for your exact load requirements.

Best fit for government integrators and enterprise AV/security buildouts running Middle Atlantic enclosures where TAA compliance is a hard procurement line item and 20A dedicated circuits are already planned into the rack infrastructure.
