Middle Atlantic 4810BCS20R Cabinet Power Strip 20A TAA-Compliant
Overview
The Middle Atlantic 4810BCS20R is a 20-amp, TAA-compliant plug-in outlet center designed for use inside equipment cabinets and enclosures. With a 6-foot (1.8m) cord and a 48-inch narrow form factor, it fits the tight horizontal space constraints typical in rack and cabinet builds where power distribution needs to stay organized and accessible without consuming valuable rack units unnecessarily.
The 20-amp rating gives you headroom for high-draw equipment — network switches, NVRs, and access control panels that draw sustained current — without tripping a shared 15A circuit or requiring a second strip. Pair this with a 20A dedicated branch circuit, and you have a clean power foundation for a fully loaded security or AV rack.

Key Features
- 20-Amp Capacity: Supports high-draw rack equipment on a single strip — meaningful when your NVR, PoE switch, and access control head-end share the same cabinet. Requires a 20A branch circuit; plan your electrical rough-in accordingly.
- 6 ft (1.8m) Cord: Long enough to reach a floor-mount PDU or wall outlet without extension cords, which are a code violation in most commercial rack installs.
- TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the 4810BCS20R eligible for U.S. federal, state, and municipal procurement where TAA compliance is a contract condition. If your project is a government facility or funded through a government contract, this matters at the bid stage.
- Narrow 48-Inch Form Factor: Designed for slim cabinet profiles where a standard-width strip won't fit flush — relevant for wall-mount enclosures and narrow-body racks common in access control and distributed AV deployments.
Integration & Compatibility
The 4810BCS20R is designed for use within Middle Atlantic enclosures and standard EIA-compliant rack cabinets. It is well-suited alongside rack power distribution units and pairs naturally with PoE network switches and NVR platforms common in network video recorder deployments. Consult your rack and enclosure planning guide to verify outlet count and circuit load before specifying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 4810BCS20R TAA compliant?
A: Yes. The 4810BCS20R is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government-funded projects that require Trade Agreements Act compliance.
Q: What amperage does the 4810BCS20R support?
