Middle Atlantic 5506 NM Cover Clip 5500 Ivory

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5506 is a cover clip built for the NM 5500 series enclosure line, finished in ivory to match light-colored wall and room installations. It's a small hardware component, but on a rack or enclosure job the finish and fit of every visible clip matters — a mismatched or missing clip is the kind of detail that makes a finished installation look unfinished. The 5506 exists to close that gap on 5500-series builds where ivory is the specified color.

Available evidence on the 5506 is limited to color, compliance status, and product line association — there is no published dimensional data, material spec, or installation documentation in the source record for this part. What follows reflects only what's confirmed.

Key Features

• Ivory finish: matches the ivory colorway used across the NM 5500 series, so the 5506 blends into installations where enclosures or covers were specified in that finish rather than standard black or clear anodized options.
• TAA compliance: the 5506 is TAA-compliant, which matters if you're speccing this into a federal, state, or other government-funded installation where Trade Agreements Act sourcing rules apply to procurement. Skip this consideration entirely on private commercial jobs, but keep it in the file for public-sector bids.
• NM 5500 series association: the 5506 is a component part of the 5500 series product family, not a standalone or universal clip — treat it as line-specific hardware rather than a generic rack accessory.

Integration & Compatibility

Because the 5506 is identified specifically as an NM 5500 series part, plan on pairing it with other 5500-series enclosures or covers rather than mixing it into unrelated Middle Atlantic product lines. If you're speccing out a full rack or enclosure build, cross-reference your Middle Atlantic catalog selections against the 5500 series to confirm finish and part compatibility before ordering. For broader rack infrastructure planning — cable management, power distribution, and enclosure layout — a network video recorder or server rack build often pulls in several finish-matched components at once, so it's worth confirming ivory availability across every part on the bill of materials, not just the 5506.

If your build also involves camera or NVR infrastructure inside the same enclosure, review a PoE planning guide early — rack fit, cable routing, and clip placement all interact once power and network drops are added to the same cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What color is the 5506 cover clip?

A: The 5506 is finished in ivory, matching the ivory colorway of the Middle Atlantic NM 5500 series.

Q: Is the 5506 TAA compliant?

A: Yes, the 5506 is TAA-compliant, which supports use in government and public-sector procurement subject to Trade Agreements Act sourcing rules.

Q: Does the 5506 fit any Middle Atlantic enclosure?

A: The 5506 is identified as a component of the NM 5500 series specifically — confirm series compatibility before ordering for a non-5500 build.

Q: Is the 5506 sold individually or as a multi-pack?

A: Package quantity is not specified in available product data for this listing.

James Everett

The 5506 is a straightforward one: it's the ivory cover clip for the NM 5500 series, and the spec sheet on this one is thin — color and TAA status are what's confirmed. I'll call that out directly rather than dress it up.

Technical Highlights:

• Ivory finish: matches 5500 series ivory enclosures and covers — useful when you're matching an existing ivory rack run rather than defaulting to black.
• TAA compliance: confirmed for the 5506, so it clears the sourcing bar on federal and public-sector jobs without extra paperwork chasing.
• 5500 series fit: this is line-specific hardware, not a universal clip — don't assume it drops into a different Middle Atlantic enclosure family.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm you're matching the 5506 against an actual 5500-series enclosure or cover before ordering — series-specific parts don't cross over.
• Dimensional and pack-quantity data isn't published here, so if you're bidding a large rack build, verify fit and quantity needs directly against your enclosure plan before finalizing a BOM.

Good fit for a public-sector or institutional rack build already standardized on ivory 5500-series enclosures, where matching every visible clip to the existing finish is part of the spec.
