Middle Atlantic Plgmd 2 Crct 12IN.OC 5FT. - NM24GBA512

Middle Atlantic NM24GBA512 Plugmold Multioutlet Strip, 5 ft, 12-Inch Spacing

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM24GBA512 is a nonmetallic plugmold multioutlet strip purpose-built for structured AV and security installations where consistent outlet placement and government procurement compliance matter. At 5 ft (1.5 m) in length with GBA device configuration, it fits comfortably along equipment rows, wall raceways, or beneath workbench surfaces — anywhere you need a clean, fixed-spacing power distribution run without the bulk of a full rack PDU. TAA compliance makes the NM24GBA512 a straightforward choice for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements.

Key Features

• 5 ft (1.5 m) Length: Covers a full row of desktop or wall-mounted equipment without extensions — sized right for single-zone security workstations, AV equipment shelves, and control room positions.
• 12-Inch Outlet Spacing (30.5 cm): Wide enough to accommodate large transformer-style power adapters side-by-side without blocking adjacent outlets — a practical detail that matters when you're powering a mix of cameras, NVRs, and control equipment from a single strip.
• GBA Device Configuration: The GBA outlet arrangement is designed for compatibility with Middle Atlantic's NM24GB4 nonmetallic plugmold raceway system, allowing field-installed or pre-wired deployment within the raceway channel.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA-compliant for US government and federally-funded projects. Eliminates a procurement step on GSA, SEWP, and state cooperative contracts where country-of-origin documentation is required.
• Nonmetallic Construction: Reduces the risk of chassis grounding conflicts in mixed-signal AV and security environments where ground loops are a recurring nuisance.
• Raceway-Ready Form Factor: Designed to drop into the Middle Atlantic NM24GB4 plugmold raceway channel, keeping power runs concealed and code-compliant in finished wall and ceiling installations.

Integration & Compatibility

The NM24GBA512 is engineered as the outlet component for Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic plugmold line, specifically pairing with the NM24GB4 nonmetallic power distribution raceway systems used in security operations centers, access control head-end rooms, and AV control spaces. For broader rack power planning in these environments, review rack power planning considerations before specifying strip length and outlet count. If your installation requires surge suppression or UPS-backed outlets, consider a UPS or rack-mount PDU upstream of this strip — the NM24GBA512 provides outlet distribution, not power conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NM24GBA512 TAA compliant for government procurement?

A: Yes. The NM24GBA512 is verified TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the NM24GBA512?

A: Outlets are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart along the 5 ft strip, providing clearance for large adapter plugs without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What raceway system is the NM24GBA512 designed for?

A: The NM24GBA512 uses the GBA device configuration and is designed for use with Middle Atlantic's NM24GB4 nonmetallic plugmold multioutlet raceway system.

Q: Does the NM24GBA512 include surge suppression?

A: No surge suppression is specified for the NM24GBA512. For protected power, pair it with a dedicated surge suppressor or UPS upstream in the circuit.

Q: How long is the NM24GBA512?

A: The NM24GBA512 is 5 ft (1.5 m) in length.

When specifying power distribution for a security head-end or AV control room, the details that get overlooked are outlet spacing and procurement compliance — and that's exactly where the NM24GBA512 earns its place. The 12-inch center-to-center spacing is what you actually need when half your adapters are wall-warts; the TAA compliance flag means it clears government project procurement without a sourcing exception request.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Outlet Spacing: At 30.5 cm between outlets, you can run a mix of standard plugs and large-body adapters down the full 5 ft strip without blocking a single position — a common failure point on cheaper strips with 6-inch spacing.
• GBA Configuration: Purpose-matched to the NM24GB4 raceway channel. If you're already running Middle Atlantic raceway in a finished wall or ceiling, this outlet strip drops in without modification.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed for this SKU — relevant any time you're quoting a project under GSA Schedule, SEWP, or a state cooperative that enforces Buy American / TAA sourcing.

Deployment Considerations:

• The NM24GBA512 is an outlet distribution strip, not a power conditioner. If the downstream equipment is sensitive to line noise or surges (NVRs, access control panels), wire a UPS or conditioner ahead of it — don't rely on the strip for protection.
• Verify circuit load before specifying quantity: at 12-inch spacing across 5 ft you have multiple outlet positions — confirm the branch circuit amperage supports the aggregate load of all connected devices before finalizing the installation design.

Best fit for federal and municipal security operations centers, government-contracted AV installs, and any finished-wall deployment already using Middle Atlantic NM24GB4 raceway where TAA sourcing documentation is a hard project requirement.
