Middle Atlantic XCSAL2GRR-BK Outdoor 2-Gang Accent Cover, Black

Overview

The Middle Atlantic XCSAL2GRR-BK is an outdoor Cable Solutions (CS) Accent cover built for 2-gang wall connection points that need a weather-resistant, finished appearance. Identified in the manufacturer overview as the "OUTDR CS ACCENT 2G RR BK," this unit uses a rear-radius (RR) device configuration and ships in a black finish for installations where the connector plate has to blend into a dark enclosure, rack rail, or exterior surface rather than stand out as a bright installer accessory. For integrators handling low-voltage cable terminations at camera poles, AV wall boxes, or equipment closets exposed to weather, the XCSAL2GRR-BK gives you a dedicated outdoor-rated cover instead of adapting an indoor plate and hoping the gasket holds.

Key Features

• 2-Gang Configuration: Sized to cover two standard gang openings, so a single XCSAL2GRR-BK handles connector pairs (data plus power, or dual data runs) at one termination point instead of requiring two separate single-gang covers and their associated seams.
• Rear-Radius (RR) Device Configuration: The RR profile is built specifically for connectors that mount from the rear of the plate, which keeps the visible face of the cover clean and avoids the raised hardware profile you get with front-mount plates — a real consideration when the cover sits in a customer-visible location.
• Outdoor CS Accent Series Build: As part of Middle Atlantic's outdoor Cable Solutions Accent line, this cover is engineered for exterior exposure rather than repurposed indoor stock, which matters for connection points on exterior walls, under eaves, or at outdoor equipment enclosures.
• Black Finish: The black finish is the deciding factor over the standard finish option when the cover needs to disappear against dark rack rail, black conduit runs, or an already-black enclosure — avoids a mismatched bright plate calling attention to the termination point.
• TAA Compliant: Confirmed TAA compliant, which matters directly for integrators bidding federal, state, or municipal projects where Trade Agreements Act sourcing rules gate award eligibility — you can cite this SKU on a compliant bid without a separate sourcing exception.

Integration & Compatibility

The XCSAL2GRR-BK is built to pair with Middle Atlantic's outdoor CS Accent connector modules using the same 2-gang, rear-radius mounting pattern — check the specific connector inserts you're terminating (data jacks, power connectors, or a mixed pair) against the RR device configuration before ordering, since the rear-mount profile is what keeps this cover distinct from front-mount CS Accent plates in the same family. When you're planning a full exterior termination point rather than a single cover, it's worth reviewing the broader Middle Atlantic catalog for matching outdoor enclosures and rack accessories, and cross-checking your run against a PoE and cable planning guide if the termination feeds powered devices like outdoor IP cameras. For sites running multiple outdoor camera drops, pairing consistent black-finish covers across every termination point keeps the installation looking uniform rather than a mix of mismatched plates — something worth planning before the first box goes in the wall, and a good reason to standardize on one NVR and connector strategy across the site rather than sourcing covers ad hoc per drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the XCSAL2GRR-BK rated for outdoor use?

A: Yes — it's part of Middle Atlantic's outdoor CS Accent line, built specifically for exterior wall connection points rather than indoor-only use.

Q: What does the "2G RR" designation mean on the XCSAL2GRR-BK?

A: "2G" indicates a 2-gang cover size, and "RR" indicates a rear-radius device configuration, meaning connectors mount from behind the plate rather than through the front face.

Q: What color is the XCSAL2GRR-BK?

A: Black, as indicated by the "BK" suffix in the model number.

Q: Is the XCSAL2GRR-BK TAA compliant for government bids?

A: Yes, this SKU is confirmed TAA compliant.

Q: Can the XCSAL2GRR-BK be used for both data and power connectors?

A: The 2-gang layout can accommodate a pair of connector modules; confirm your specific data and power inserts are rear-mount compatible with the RR configuration before ordering.

Eden Phillips

The XCSAL2GRR-BK is a small part of an install that gets noticed when it's wrong — an outdoor 2-gang cover, black finish, rear-radius configuration. On a bid where TAA sourcing is a hard requirement, having this confirmed compliant means one less line item to chase down before submission.

Technical Highlights:

• 2-Gang Sizing: Covers two connector positions under one plate, reducing the number of individual cutouts and covers at a termination point compared to stacking single-gang units.
• Rear-Radius (RR) Configuration: Connectors mount from behind the plate, which keeps the outward face low-profile — worth confirming against your specific connector inserts since RR and front-mount plates in the CS Accent line aren't interchangeable.
• TAA Compliance: Verified for this SKU, which lets you spec it directly on government and public-sector jobs without swapping in a substitute part at the last minute.

Deployment Considerations:

• Match the black finish across every outdoor termination point on a job — mixing black and standard-finish covers on the same building reads as inconsistent even when the underlying hardware is identical.
• Confirm your connector modules are rear-mount rated before ordering — the RR designation isn't a color or size option, it's a mounting-orientation spec that will not accept front-mount inserts.

Reach for the XCSAL2GRR-BK on exterior 2-gang terminations — camera pole junctions, outdoor AV wall boxes, or perimeter equipment enclosures — where the job calls for a black, TAA-compliant, rear-mount cover rather than a repurposed indoor plate.
