Middle Atlantic NM20GB12 Plugmold NM2000 with Snapicoil Single-Circuit Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM20GB12 is a raceway-style in-wall power strip from the Plugmold NM2000 series, engineered for structured cabling and AV/security rack environments where clean, code-compliant power distribution inside wall cavities or raceways is a hard requirement. The GB device configuration and 12-inch receptacle spacing are the defining characteristics that determine fit — get those two values right before ordering. Explore the full Middle Atlantic catalog for complementary rack and power management solutions.

Plugmold products are a staple in commercial AV, security control rooms, and structured wiring closets because they solve a specific problem: distributing multiple outlet positions along a fixed run without the bulk and code complications of stacked power strips. The NM20GB12 fits that role with ivory finish suited to surface-mount raceway installations in office and commercial interior environments.

Key Features

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing (30.5 cm): Outlets spaced a full foot apart prevent transformer block conflicts — a critical dimension when powering multiple wall-wart or brick-style adapters along the same run. Measure your adapter widths before spec'ing a tighter-spaced variant.
• GB Device Configuration: The GB designation specifies the outlet and wiring device type used in this assembly. Confirm your branch circuit wiring and outlet type requirements match the GB spec before ordering — substituting a different device configuration post-installation is not a field swap.
• Snapicoil Harness Integration: The NM2000 series uses a Snapicoil pre-wired harness that simplifies field installation — the wiring assembly snaps into the raceway body rather than requiring individual conductor terminations at each device. This reduces installation time and westion of wiring errors on multi-outlet runs.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means the NM20GB12 is eligible for U.S. federal government projects and GSA schedule procurement — a procurement gate that eliminates non-compliant products at the requisition stage for government integrators.
• Ivory Finish: Matches standard commercial interior raceway and wall-plate color schemes. If your installation uses white or other raceway finishes, verify color coordination before ordering — Plugmold offers the NM2000 series in multiple finishes.
• In-Wall / Raceway Form Factor: Designed to install inside NM-style raceways, keeping outlet positions flush and protected. This is not a free-standing or rack-mount power strip — it is a fixed, in-raceway distribution solution. See power distribution accessories for rack-mount alternatives if your application differs.

Integration & Compatibility

The NM20GB12 is part of the Legrand / Middle Atlantic Plugmold NM2000 product family. It is designed for use with compatible NM-series raceway bodies and the Snapicoil harness system. Pairing with the correct raceway length and termination fittings from the same family is required for a compliant, complete installation. For security and AV rack builds, complement this power distribution run with Middle Atlantic rack accessories and structured cable management solutions to maintain clean, serviceable installations. If you are specifying power for a full rack system, review the rack and enclosure lineup for integrated power management options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic NM20GB12 TAA compliant for federal procurement?

A: Yes. The NM20GB12 is verified TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal government and GSA schedule projects.

Q: What does the GB device configuration mean on the NM20GB12?

A: GB designates the specific outlet and wiring device type used in this Plugmold assembly. Confirm your branch circuit and outlet type requirements match GB before ordering.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the NM20GB12?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart — wide enough to accommodate most wall-wart and brick-style adapter bodies without overlap.

Q: What color is the NM20GB12?

A: Ivory. Verify this matches your raceway and wall-plate finish before ordering, as the NM2000 series is available in other colors.

Q: What raceway system does the NM20GB12 install into?

A: The NM20GB12 is designed for the Plugmold NM2000 raceway system with Snapicoil harness. It requires compatible NM-series raceway bodies and fittings from the same family for a complete, code-compliant installation.

James Everett

The spec that drives every NM20GB12 purchase decision is the 12-inch receptacle spacing — 30.5 cm center-to-center. That single number determines whether your adapter bodies will physically fit without overlap. I have seen integrators order the wrong spacing variant and end up with a partially usable strip because three adjacent adapters physically collide. Measure first.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: At 30.5 cm between outlets, this is the widest common spacing in the NM2000 family — correct choice when powering multiple brick adapters or when code or client spec requires defined outlet separation along a raceway run.
• GB Device Configuration: Specifies the outlet type and wiring termination method. This is a fixed-assembly product — device configuration is not field-changeable. Match to your branch circuit spec before procurement.
• TAA Compliance: Verified on the NM20GB12, which matters specifically on federal and state government projects where non-TAA products are disqualified at the requisition stage regardless of technical fit.

Deployment Considerations:

• The Snapicoil harness is a factory-pre-wired assembly — it snaps into the raceway body and eliminates per-device field terminations, but it also means the wiring configuration is fixed at manufacture. Order the correct length and configuration upfront; field modification is not the intent of this system.
• Ivory finish is the only confirmed color for this SKU. If your raceway system uses white or almond, request a color sample or confirm the finish code matches your existing raceway before committing to a full run quantity.

The NM20GB12 is the right call for commercial interior raceway installations — AV credenzas, security desk raceways, structured wiring closets — where you need TAA-compliant, code-appropriate power distribution with enough outlet separation to handle brick adapters cleanly. It is not a rack-mount unit and should not be specified as one.
