Middle Atlantic Plgmd 2 Crct 9IN. OC 6FT. - NM20GBA609

Middle Atlantic NM20GBA609 Nonmetallic Plugmold Multi-Outlet System

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM20GBA609 is a nonmetallic plugmold multi-outlet strip designed for structured AV and security equipment installations where consistent outlet spacing and a clean, low-profile appearance matter. At 6 ft (1.8 m) in length with outlets positioned every 9 in (22.9 cm) on-center, this two-circuit strip fits neatly inside equipment enclosures, server cabinets, and rack installations where you need distributed power access without the bulk of a traditional power distribution unit.

Finished in ivory, the NM20GBA609 blends into light-colored wall surfaces and raceway systems — a practical detail in offices, classrooms, and conference rooms where exposed hardware needs to look intentional, not improvised. TAA compliance makes it eligible for federal procurement projects and government facility deployments where country-of-origin requirements apply.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Run Length: Covers a standard equipment bay or wall section without extension cords or daisy-chaining. At 72 inches, you get enough reach to serve multiple devices from a single strip without relocating the source circuit.
• 9 in (22.9 cm) On-Center Outlet Spacing: Wide enough to accommodate most transformer-style power blocks without blocking adjacent outlets — a common frustration with tighter-spaced strips. Plan your device count against this spacing before purchasing if you're running wall-wart adapters.
• Two-Circuit Configuration: Splitting loads across two circuits reduces the risk of a single overload affecting all connected equipment. In AV and security racks, separating active devices (NVRs, switches) from passive loads (lighting, fans) on independent circuits is standard practice.
• Nonmetallic Construction: Lighter than steel alternatives and compatible with nonmetallic raceway systems. Reduces galvanic corrosion concerns in environments where metal conduit and hardware are mixed.
• Ivory Color: Matches standard ivory raceway and surface-mount channel systems for a consistent finished appearance. If your installation uses white or gray raceway, verify color match before ordering.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the NM20GBA609 eligible for GSA schedule purchases, federal agency deployments, and government-funded facility upgrades where TAA compliance is a procurement condition.

Integration & Compatibility

The NM20GBA609 is part of Middle Atlantic's NM20GBA nonmetallic plugmold family, designed to integrate with surface-mount raceway and cord cover systems. It installs directly into compatible nonmetallic raceway channel, securing without additional hardware in most channel configurations. For power distribution planning in rack or wall-mount installations, pair with appropriate circuit breakers and in-wall wiring rated for the intended load — the strip itself does not include overcurrent protection. If you are building out a structured AV or security enclosure, review Middle Atlantic's rack accessories lineup for complementary mounting and cable management components. For installations requiring network switches or active PoE equipment, ensure the circuit feeding this strip is sized for the cumulative draw of all connected devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NM20GBA609 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The NM20GBA609 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal procurement, GSA schedule purchases, and government facility deployments with country-of-origin requirements.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the NM20GBA609?

A: Outlets are spaced 9 inches (22.9 cm) on-center. This spacing accommodates most standard plugs and many transformer-style adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: How long is the NM20GBA609?

A: The strip is 6 ft (1.8 m) in length.

Q: What color is the NM20GBA609?

A: Ivory. Verify this matches your raceway or enclosure finish before ordering if color consistency matters to your installation.

Q: How many circuits does the NM20GBA609 have?

A: Two circuits. Splitting loads across two circuits helps isolate equipment groups and reduces the impact of a single overload event on the full installation.

The NM20GBA609's 9-inch on-center outlet spacing is the detail that makes or breaks a clean rack build — I've seen integrators spec a tighter-spaced strip and spend an hour rearranging loads because transformer blocks ate every other outlet. Middle Atlantic solved that with this nonmetallic plugmold, and the 6 ft run covers a standard equipment column without needing an extension.

Technical Highlights:

• 9 in On-Center Spacing: At 22.9 cm between outlets, this strip handles bulky wall-wart adapters side-by-side without outlet conflicts — a practical win in dense AV or security enclosures.
• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: Sized to span a standard wall bay or equipment rack column in a single run, eliminating the need for chained strips or extension cords in most installations.
• TAA Compliance: Government and federal facility integrators can spec the NM20GBA609 directly into GSA-schedule bids without sourcing exceptions or compliance waivers.

Deployment Considerations:

• Ivory finish matches standard nonmetallic raceway channel — if your install uses white or gray channel, order a color sample or verify the match before committing to quantity.
• The strip does not include built-in overcurrent protection; your upstream circuit breaker is the only safeguard, so size the feeder circuit appropriately for the total connected load before energizing.

This strip fits best in government facility AV closets, federal security integrations, and structured wall-mount deployments where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and a clean ivory finish needs to match existing nonmetallic raceway runs.
