Middle Atlantic NM TWO Tracjack Small DAT - PDB2TJWH

Middle Atlantic PDB2TJWH Two-Port TracJack Data Connector Plate

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PDB2TJWH is a compact, wall-surface-mount connector plate designed to house two TracJack data connections in a clean, finished enclosure. At 3 11/16" x 2 7/8", it occupies minimal wall real estate while delivering professional-grade terminations — the kind of detail that separates a finished AV or structured cabling install from a patch-and-pray job. The PDB2TJWH ships in white non-metallic construction, making it a natural fit for office environments, boardrooms, and commercial interiors where exposed metal boxes or industrial hardware would look out of place.

If you're working within a Middle Atlantic cabling and infrastructure system, this plate integrates directly with the TracJack modular jack ecosystem, keeping your horizontal cable runs organized and your wall outlets consistent. It belongs to the broader family of cable management accessories that support structured, code-compliant low-voltage installations.

Key Features

• Two TracJack Ports: Two dedicated data connection ports mean you can terminate a pair of horizontal runs — voice and data, or dual data — at a single wall location without stacking boxes or running separate plates. That consolidation reduces material cost and speeds up rough-in on multi-drop floors.
• Non-Metallic Construction: The non-metallic body avoids the grounding and bonding headaches that come with metal low-voltage boxes in certain jurisdictions. It also eliminates the risk of accidental shorts in tight wall cavities where wires may contact the enclosure during termination.
• White Finish: The white color blends with standard commercial paint finishes and complements common wallplate families. In conference rooms or open offices, consistent finishes signal professional installation quality to end-user clients — a practical concern for integrators billing for structured cabling work.
• Compact 3 11/16" x 2 7/8" Footprint: The plate's compact dimensions fit standard low-voltage single-gang openings. You're not cutting oversized holes or ordering specialty mud rings — it drops into existing rough-in cutouts on most commercial drywall installations.
• Wall/Surface Mount Form Factor: Designed for both new-construction wall mount and surface-mount deployment, the PDB2TJWH adapts to retrofit scenarios where opening walls isn't feasible. Surface-mount installs in server rooms, equipment closets, or cable trays are straightforward with this form factor.
• TracJack System Compatibility: Built specifically for Middle Atlantic's TracJack modular jack inserts, which snap into the two ports without tools. That means field technicians can swap jack types — Cat6, Cat6A, fiber, or AV — without replacing the plate itself. It's a practical flexibility point on projects where the cabling standard may evolve after rough-in.

Integration & Compatibility

The PDB2TJWH is purpose-built for the Middle Atlantic TracJack ecosystem. The two ports accept standard TracJack modular inserts, supporting a range of data, voice, and AV jack types depending on the insert selected. This compatibility makes it a logical choice on deployments where the plate and jack procurement are handled separately — a common practice on commercial structured cabling projects where the GC installs boxes and the low-voltage sub populates the jacks.

For integrators building out network infrastructure in commercial spaces, pairing the PDB2TJWH with a properly sized PoE switch and appropriate Cat6 patch cabling keeps the horizontal path clean from closet to wallplate. Consult your cable management planning guide to confirm bend radius and pull-length compliance before finalizing rough-in locations.

The white non-metallic body is compatible with standard single-gang low-voltage mounting brackets. Confirm your wall-opening dimensions against the 3 11/16" x 2 7/8" plate face before ordering if mixing with other wallplate families on the same job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of jacks does the PDB2TJWH accept?

A: The PDB2TJWH accepts Middle Atlantic TracJack modular inserts. The plate itself houses two ports; the jack type (Cat6, fiber, AV, etc.) depends on which TracJack insert is selected and snapped into the port.

Q: Is the PDB2TJWH suitable for surface-mount installations?

A: Yes. The PDB2TJWH is designed for wall and surface-mount deployment, making it appropriate for both new-construction drywall installs and surface-mount retrofit scenarios in equipment rooms or finished commercial spaces.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the PDB2TJWH?

A: The plate measures 3 11/16" x 2 7/8". Verify your wall opening and mounting bracket dimensions against these measurements before installation, especially when mixing with other wallplate families.

Q: What material is the PDB2TJWH made from?

A: The PDB2TJWH is constructed from non-metallic material in white. This avoids grounding considerations associated with metal low-voltage enclosures and blends with standard commercial interior finishes.

Q: How many data connections does the PDB2TJWH support?

A: The PDB2TJWH supports two TracJack data connections — sufficient for a dual-drop (voice + data, or dual data) at a single wall location without requiring multiple plates.

James Everett

The PDB2TJWH comes up on most commercial cabling jobs where you need a clean two-port termination point without the overhead of a full metal box. At 3 11/16" x 2 7/8", it's a true single-gang-footprint plate — fits the rough-in without modification on a standard low-voltage bracket, and the non-metallic white body keeps the finished look consistent across conference rooms and open-plan offices where you're running dozens of identical drops.

Technical Highlights:

• Two-Port Capacity: Handles two independent TracJack inserts per plate — enough for a combined voice/data drop or dual data at each station without doubling your hardware count or wall real estate.
• Non-Metallic Body: Eliminates incidental grounding paths in tight wall cavities during termination, and sidesteps the bonding questions that come up with metal low-voltage enclosures under certain local codes.
• 3 11/16" x 2 7/8" Footprint: Sized for standard single-gang low-voltage openings — no custom rough-in, no specialty mud ring, no field modification. Drops in where any standard single-gang plate would go.

Deployment Considerations:

• TracJack insert type (Cat6, Cat6A, AV, fiber) is specified and ordered separately — confirm your insert family against the horizontal cabling spec before procurement to avoid a mismatch at termination.
• White finish is appropriate for most commercial interiors, but verify against the client's wallplate standard if they've specified a particular brand family — not all single-gang plates share identical bezel dimensions, and slight size differences show in finished work.

The PDB2TJWH is the right specification for commercial office build-outs and conference room AV installations where the horizontal cabling standard is already TracJack and the finish requirement is clean, consistent, and interior-grade — not for industrial or harsh-environment deployments where a metal enclosure or higher ingress rating is warranted.
