Middle Atlantic P-thru Assy Flush Furn FE - RC7AFFTCBK

Middle Atlantic RC7AFFTCBK Multi-Service Poke-Thru Flush Furniture Feed Assembly

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RC7AFFTCBK is a flush-mount, multi-service poke-through assembly engineered for furniture-feed cable management in conference rooms, huddle spaces, collaborative workstations, and AV-integrated environments. Where surface-mount cable glands look improvised and overhead drops create trip hazards, this assembly routes power, data, and AV connections cleanly through a worksurface or floor — keeping cable paths short, organized, and out of the way. The RC7AFFTCBK ships in black, sized at 7 in × 7 in with a 16.5 in depth, and carries TAA compliance for government and federally funded deployments.

Middle Atlantic has a long track record in Middle Atlantic AV infrastructure and rack solutions; the RC7AFFTCBK sits within their broader cable management and connectivity product line, purpose-built for the same integrators who specify their rack systems and power distribution.

Key Features

• Flush furniture-feed design: The assembly mounts flush to a worksurface or furniture panel, eliminating protruding glands that snag cables or clothing. In high-traffic conference and collaboration spaces, flush trim is a functional requirement, not an aesthetic preference — exposed hardware gets caught on equipment and eventually fails.
• 7 in × 7 in opening footprint: At 7 × 7 inches, the RC7AFFTCBK accommodates multi-service configurations — power, data, HDMI, or USB — within a single cutout. A single larger opening is easier to template and cut cleanly than multiple smaller ones, reducing installation time and surface damage risk on finished furniture.
• 16.5 in depth capacity: The 16.5-inch barrel depth handles thick worksurfaces, raised-floor systems, and furniture panels with internal structure — common in commercial-grade conference tables and modular workstation systems. Shallower assemblies require field trimming or don't seat properly in deep panels; this depth covers the majority of commercial furniture specs without modification.
• Black finish (Color: Black): Matches standard black conference table surfaces and AV furniture finishes without requiring a custom paint step. In environments where the installation is visible to end users — boardrooms, executive suites, client-facing spaces — a finish-matched assembly presents as intentional rather than afterthought.
• TAA Compliant: The RC7AFFTCBK meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for GSA schedule procurement and government facility installations. If your project is federally funded or subject to Buy American provisions, TAA compliance is a hard requirement — not a nice-to-have. Verify the specific contract vehicle requirements, but the RC7AFFTCBK clears the TAA bar.

Integration and Compatibility

As a passive infrastructure assembly, the RC7AFFTCBK integrates with any combination of power modules, data inserts, HDMI passthrough, USB-C, or blank covers that fit the RC7AFFTC platform. It pairs naturally with AV furniture and worksurface solutions from the Middle Atlantic line, and is designed for use in the same rack and AV-infrastructure environments where integrators are already specifying power distribution units and structured cable pathways. Consult the RC7AFFTC platform documentation for compatible insert modules and cover configurations.

Installation requires a worksurface cutout matched to the 7 × 7 in footprint. The 16.5 in depth should be confirmed against the actual furniture panel depth before ordering — commercial tables vary, and this is the one measurement that determines whether the assembly seats flush without shimming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic RC7AFFTCBK TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The RC7AFFTCBK is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for GSA and federal procurement vehicles that require TAA compliance.

Q: What are the dimensions of the RC7AFFTCBK?

A: The RC7AFFTCBK measures 7 in wide × 7 in tall (17.8 cm × 17.8 cm) with a barrel depth of 16.5 in (41.9 cm).

Q: What color finish does the RC7AFFTCBK come in?

A: The RC7AFFTCBK is available in black.

Q: What type of installation does the RC7AFFTCBK support?

A: It is a flush furniture-feed poke-through assembly, designed to mount through a worksurface or furniture panel cutout to route cables cleanly between above-surface and below-surface spaces.

Q: Is the RC7AFFTCBK part of a modular insert platform?

A: Yes. The RC7AFFTCBK is part of the Middle Atlantic RC7AFFTC multi-service poke-through platform, which supports interchangeable inserts for power, data, HDMI, USB, and other connection types. Refer to Middle Atlantic platform documentation for compatible modules.

The RC7AFFTCBK is the spec I reach for on commercial conference table builds where the furniture panel runs deep — the 16.5 in barrel handles the bulk of what I see in the field without cutting down, and the 7 × 7 in flush trim seats clean on finished surfaces without a visible gap. For TAA-constrained government projects, having that compliance baked in at the infrastructure layer saves a procurement cycle.

Technical Highlights:

• 16.5 in barrel depth: Seats fully in thick commercial worksurfaces and raised-floor furniture assemblies — no field trimming required on standard commercial table builds.
• 7 in × 7 in footprint: Single cutout accommodates multi-service insert configurations; one clean cut beats multiple smaller penetrations for both aesthetics and surface integrity.
• TAA Compliance: Clears Trade Agreements Act requirements out of the box — a hard gate for GSA, federal agency, and DoD facility work where non-compliant hardware triggers procurement holds.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm actual furniture panel depth against the 16.5 in barrel before ordering — some modular workstation systems run shallower and the assembly will overhang the underside, which matters in open-plan environments where the underside is visible.
• The RC7AFFTCBK is the housing only; compatible inserts (power, data, HDMI, USB-C) are ordered separately from the RC7AFFTC platform — budget both line items and confirm insert availability before the installation date.

Best fit for boardrooms, federal office buildouts, and AV-integrated conference furniture where TAA compliance is contractually required and a flush, finished appearance is part of the design spec.
