Middle Atlantic NM24GBA612 Nonmetallic Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM24GBA612 is a 6 ft (1.8 m) nonmetallic Plugmold multioutlet strip with receptacles spaced every 12 inches (30.5 cm) and GBA device configuration. It is TAA compliant, making it a viable choice for government and federally funded installations where Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements apply. If you are specifying power distribution for a rack environment, AV installation, or structured wiring closet and need a surface-mount multioutlet solution with predictable outlet spacing, this is a straightforward option from the Middle Atlantic product line.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: Provides enough run to serve a standard equipment bay or wall-mount enclosure without requiring an extension or daisy-chain — reduces clutter and single points of failure in power distribution runs.
• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: Outlets every 12 in (30.5 cm) give adequate clearance between plugged-in wall warts or right-angle connectors, reducing the likelihood of one adapter blocking an adjacent outlet — a common frustration with tightly spaced strips.
• GBA Device Configuration: The GBA configuration designates the specific outlet arrangement and cover-plate style for this Plugmold variant. Confirm this matches your raceway channel and cover requirements before ordering.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying this unit for GSA schedule purchases, federal contracts, and other government-funded projects where country-of-origin compliance is audited.
• Nonmetallic Construction: The non-metallic housing is appropriate for standard indoor environments and avoids galvanic concerns when mounted against dissimilar metals in enclosures or furniture raceways.

Integration & Compatibility

The NM24GBA612 is part of the NM24GB series nonmetallic Plugmold family. Ensure your installation channel, mounting hardware, and cover plates are specified for NM24GB-series components — mixing channel profiles across Plugmold series can result in incompatible fits. This unit is intended for indoor use; consult the full Middle Atlantic catalog for outdoor or environmental-rated power options. For rack-mount power distribution with surge or circuit-breaker protection, review rack PDU options separately — this strip provides outlet placement without integrated protection features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NM24GBA612 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The NM24GBA612 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal government and GSA schedule procurement where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is required.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the NM24GBA612?

A: Receptacles are spaced every 12 inches (30.5 cm) along the 6 ft strip.

Q: What does GBA device configuration mean for the NM24GBA612?

A: GBA designates the specific outlet type and cover-plate configuration for this Plugmold variant. Verify this matches your channel and cover-plate requirements before ordering to ensure a compatible fit within the NM24GB series.

Q: Can the NM24GBA612 be used outdoors?

A: No outdoor rating is listed in the available specifications. This unit should be treated as an indoor product unless the manufacturer's full documentation confirms otherwise.

The NM24GBA612 is one of those components that integrators often spec late and regret early — a 6 ft Plugmold with 12-inch receptacle spacing sounds unremarkable until you're on-site and every outlet on a tightly-spaced strip is blocked by transformer bricks. The 12-inch spacing here is the practical differentiator worth noting.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: At 30.5 cm between outlets, you get usable clearance for standard wall-wart adapters side by side without mutual blocking — the NM24GBA612 handles mixed plug loads cleanly.
• 6 ft Run Length: The 1.8 m strip covers a standard rack bay or wall-channel run in a single piece, eliminating the need for a second strip or an extension segment on most typical installations.
• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA compliant — this qualifies for federal, state, and municipal projects operating under GSA schedule or FAR sourcing requirements, where origin documentation is audited.

Deployment Considerations:

• GBA configuration specifies both the outlet style and cover-plate type — order matching NM24GB-series channel and covers at the same time, not after the strip is on the wall, to avoid a second site visit.
• No voltage, amperage, circuit protection, or environmental rating data is available in the published spec sheet. For installations requiring surge suppression, GFCI protection, or breaker-isolated circuits, this strip is not the right component — specify a rated rack PDU with those features instead.

The NM24GBA612 is the right call for AV furniture, structured-wiring enclosures, and government-funded facility buildouts where TAA sourcing compliance is a contract requirement and outlet-spacing discipline matters for serviceability.
