Middle Atlantic 806-WH NM Cover Clip 800 White

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 806-WH is a white NM Cover Clip 800 designed for integrators finishing out Middle Atlantic NM-series rack and enclosure installs where cosmetic consistency matters as much as function. It's a small hardware component, but on a rack build with a visible white finish — a boardroom credenza rack, a retail back-office enclosure, a healthcare data closet — the wrong-colored clip is the kind of detail that gets flagged on a walkthrough. The 806-WH exists so you don't have to explain that away.

This is a purpose-built accessory rather than a standalone system component, and it should be specified alongside the Middle Atlantic catalog products it's designed to finish, not evaluated on its own feature set. If you're speccing a full rack elevation, cross-reference this clip against the enclosure or frame line it's paired with before finalizing a bill of materials.

Key Features

• White finish: Matches white NM-series enclosures and covers, so the clip disappears into the installation instead of standing out as a mismatched black component on an otherwise white rack front.
• TAA compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements, which matters if this component is going into a rack build tied to a federal, state, or federally-funded contract where TAA documentation gets audited during procurement review.
• 800-series compatibility: Built as part of the NM Cover Clip 800 line, keeping hardware consistent across a rack elevation rather than mixing clip generations that can vary slightly in fit and finish.
• Low-cost finish-out item: Cover clips are inexpensive relative to the frame or enclosure they attach to, but running out mid-install stalls a job — worth stocking a few spares per rack run rather than ordering exact-count.

Integration & Compatibility

The 806-WH is designed to pair with Middle Atlantic's NM-series rack products carrying a white finish. Because Middle Atlantic maintains multiple cover and clip generations across its rack lines, confirm the specific NM enclosure or frame model you're finishing before ordering — clip fitment is generation- and finish-specific, not universal across the entire Middle Atlantic catalog. If you're building out a full network video recorder or server rack for a surveillance deployment, this is the kind of line item that belongs in the final punch-list pass rather than the initial equipment spec — easy to miss until the rack is physically in front of you.

For teams planning a larger rack-mounted deployment — NVRs, PoE switches, UPS units — it's worth reviewing a PoE and power planning guide early, since finish and hardware consistency decisions like clip color are easier to lock in before equipment ships than after a rack is already populated. Pair rack finish-out hardware like the 806-WH with mounts and enclosures selected for the same install to keep the bill of materials organized by rack elevation rather than by part type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 806-WH TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 806-WH meets Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance requirements, which is relevant for installations tied to government or federally-funded procurement.

Q: What color is the 806-WH cover clip?

A: White. It's designed to match white-finish Middle Atlantic NM-series enclosures and covers.

Q: Is the 806-WH the same part as the 806 WH?

A: Yes — 806-WH (often searched as 806 WH) refers to the same NM Cover Clip 800 in white.

Q: Does the 806-WH fit any Middle Atlantic rack enclosure?

A: It's part of the NM Cover Clip 800 series. Confirm fitment against your specific NM-series enclosure or frame model before ordering, since Middle Atlantic maintains multiple rack hardware generations.

The 806-WH is one of those parts nobody specs until the rack's already built and someone notices a black clip on a white enclosure. It's a white NM Cover Clip 800, and the finish match is the entire point of stocking it separately from the standard-color version.

Technical Highlights:

• White finish: Matches white NM-series rack covers and enclosures, so you're not left with a visibly mismatched clip on a client-facing installation.
• TAA compliance: Documented TAA compliance on the 806-WH means it can go into government and federally-funded rack builds without a sourcing exception.
• 800-series part family: Keeping the clip generation consistent with the rest of an NM-series build avoids the minor fit inconsistencies you can get mixing clip revisions across a rack elevation.

Deployment Considerations:

• Order a few spares per rack run — clips are cheap, but a stalled install waiting on a missing 806-WH costs more than the part itself.
• Confirm the exact NM enclosure or frame model before ordering; Middle Atlantic's cover clip hardware is generation-specific, and evidence here doesn't confirm universal cross-fit across every NM product.

Spec the 806-WH into any white-finish Middle Atlantic NM rack build — a client-visible server closet or AV rack — where a mismatched clip color would be the first thing a walkthrough catches.
