Middle Atlantic NM Four Tracjack Bezel BO - PBB4TJV

Middle Atlantic PBB4TJV Four-Port TracJack Rack Bezel Box

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PBB4TJV is a rack-mount bezel box designed to house four Ortronics TracJack or Series II modules in a clean, organized faceplate. If you're consolidating patch and communication wiring at the rack face — voice, data, or low-voltage power connections — this non-metallic ivory bezel gives you a finished, labeled front without cutting custom faceplates. At 3.25" L x 3" W, the PBB4TJV fits standard rack bay openings and installs in minutes.

Key Features

• Four TracJack Openings: Accommodates four independent Middle Atlantic TracJack or Series II module positions — meaning you can mix and match jack types (Cat6, fiber, coax, power) in a single bezel rather than running separate panels for each media type. Reduces rack unit count on dense installs.
• Rack-Mount Form Factor: Designed for rack installation, keeping rack accessories and connectivity ports at the front of the enclosure where they're accessible without pulling equipment. No guesswork on fitment — these dimensions are matched to standard rack bay openings.
• Non-Metallic Construction: The ivory non-metallic body won't add RF interference concerns near sensitive comms equipment, and it won't scratch adjacent gear when modules are swapped in the field. Lighter than steel faceplates — relevant when you're managing rack weight budgets on mobile or wall-swing installations.
• FT-4 Flame Rating: Meets FT-4 flame propagation standards, making this bezel appropriate for plenum-adjacent and commercial building code environments where non-rated plastics are not permitted. Check your local code, but FT-4 satisfies most commercial new-construction requirements without upgrading to metallic alternatives.
• Communication and Power Wiring Support: Supports both communication wiring and power wiring connections through the same bezel — useful in AV rack builds where you're terminating both signal and low-voltage power at the same patch point.
• Ivory Color: Matches standard ivory rack and patch panel aesthetics common in commercial structured cabling installations. Keeps the front of the rack visually consistent without custom painting or labeling covers.

Integration & Compatibility

The PBB4TJV is specifically compatible with Ortronics TracJack and Series II keystone modules. If you're specifying a structured cabling system using TracJack-style jacks, this bezel is the rack-face termination point. It does not accept generic keystone modules that don't conform to the TracJack footprint — verify module type before ordering. Middle Atlantic's rack product line integrates across their enclosure and patch solutions, so this bezel is a direct fit within coordinated rack build-outs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What modules are compatible with the PBB4TJV?

A: The PBB4TJV is compatible with Ortronics TracJack and Series II modules. It is not designed for generic keystone jacks that don't conform to the TracJack footprint.

Q: What is the flame rating on the PBB4TJV?

A: The PBB4TJV meets FT-4 flame rating standards, which satisfies most commercial building code requirements for non-metallic materials in rack and structured cabling installations.

Q: Can the PBB4TJV support both data and power connections?

A: Yes. The PBB4TJV is designed to support both communication wiring and power wiring, allowing mixed-use module configurations in the same four-opening bezel.

Q: What are the dimensions of the PBB4TJV?

A: The PBB4TJV measures 3.25 inches long by 3 inches wide and is designed for rack-mount installation.

Q: What color is the PBB4TJV?

A: The PBB4TJV is ivory, matching standard commercial rack and patch panel aesthetics.

Q: Is the PBB4TJV made of metal?

A: No. The PBB4TJV is constructed from non-metallic material, which reduces RF interference concerns and overall rack weight compared to steel faceplates.

Eden Phillips

The PBB4TJV is a straightforward rack-face termination solution, but the detail that matters most on a real install is the FT-4 flame rating — in commercial structured cabling environments, a non-rated plastic bezel can fail inspection and require rework after the rack is loaded. Middle Atlantic built that compliance in from the start, so you're not retrofitting after the fact.

Technical Highlights:

• Four TracJack Openings: Supports up to four Ortronics TracJack or Series II modules in a single 3.25" x 3" footprint — consolidates mixed-media terminations at the rack face without stacking multiple single-port faceplates.
• FT-4 Flame Rating: Non-metallic construction that still meets FT-4 standards — relevant for commercial builds where inspectors require rated materials in plenum-adjacent rack enclosures.
• Communication and Power Wiring: Designed to carry both signal and low-voltage power connections through the same bezel, reducing the number of separate panels needed in AV or security rack build-outs.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify module footprint before ordering — the PBB4TJV accepts Ortronics TracJack and Series II modules specifically. Generic keystone jacks with a different footprint will not seat correctly.
• The non-metallic body is lighter than steel alternatives, which matters on wall-swing or mobile rack installs with weight limits, but it also means it won't provide the grounding continuity a metallic faceplate would — factor that in on shielded cabling runs.

This bezel is the right call for commercial AV integrators and IT rack builders specifying TracJack-based structured cabling systems where code compliance and a clean front-panel finish both matter at final inspection.
