Middle Atlantic 24S6012GBX99IV Plugmold 20A 5-Outlet Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 24S6012GBX99IV is a 5-foot (1.5 m) steel V2400-series plugmold multioutlet strip designed for structured rack and raceway installations where clean, accessible power distribution matters. With five duplex outlets spaced along a 60-inch run, this strip is built for equipment rooms, AV racks, and security infrastructure closets where you need consistent outlet coverage without running separate power blocks on every shelf. The GB device configuration and TAA compliance make this a straightforward choice for government-funded deployments and federal procurement programs that require Trade Agreements Act sourcing.

If you're outfitting a Middle Atlantic rack system or a structured cable and raceway installation, the 24S6012GBX99IV fits directly into the V2400-series ecosystem — a field-proven product family used extensively in broadcast, security, and commercial AV environments.

Key Features

• Five Duplex Outlets Over 5 Feet: Five duplex outlets distributed across a 60-inch (1.5 m) length means you get one outlet roughly every 12 inches — practical spacing for rack equipment where you don't want to daisy-chain strips or use extension cords to reach awkwardly placed receptacles. Each duplex position handles two plugs, giving you up to 10 individual connection points across the strip.
• GB Device Configuration: The GB configuration designates this as a grounding-bar style multioutlet strip, consistent with the V2400-series spec for commercial and institutional installations. This matters in security and AV racks where ground continuity across interconnected equipment reduces noise and ground loop issues.
• TAA Compliant: TAA compliance means this strip is eligible for GSA schedule purchases, federal agency deployments, and any contract that mandates Trade Agreements Act sourcing. If you're quoting a government security installation or a federally funded project, this clears the procurement gate without a waiver. Non-TAA alternatives may look identical on spec sheets but will fail compliance review — worth confirming before you spec a power strip on a federal bid.
• Steel V2400-Series Construction: The V2400 platform uses a steel housing rather than plastic — better for rack environments where power strips can take physical abuse from cabling, heat, and repeated equipment moves. Steel also contributes to EMI shielding, which is relevant in dense rack environments running video, audio, and network equipment in close proximity.
• 5-Foot Run Fits Standard Rack Depths: At 1.5 m, this strip works down the side of most standard 19-inch relay racks and wall-mounted enclosures. It's long enough to serve a full rack column without leaving outlets inaccessible at the top or bottom, and short enough that you're not managing excess cable on a half-populated rack.
• Raceway and Surface-Mount Compatible: As part of the V2400 plugmold family, this strip is designed for surface-mount raceway installations — meaning it can run along a wall channel, under a credenza, or inside a structured wiring enclosure as cleanly as it can run inside an open rack. This gives you flexibility when the deployment isn't a traditional equipment room.

Integration & Compatibility

The 24S6012GBX99IV is part of Middle Atlantic's V2400-series steel plugmold line, which integrates with standard rack power distribution accessories and raceway systems. The five-duplex layout is compatible with the typical plug footprint of security DVRs, NVRs, managed switches, and access control panels — the equipment mix you'd find in a commercial security head-end rack. If you're specifying a full rack build, pair this with a Middle Atlantic rack enclosure or open-frame relay rack for a clean, coordinated installation.

For broader infrastructure planning, review the rack power planning guide to match outlet count and amperage to your actual equipment load before finalizing your power distribution layout. Five duplex outlets cover most small-to-mid-density racks, but high-draw equipment like large NVRs with multiple drives may warrant a higher-amperage or higher-outlet-count option in the same family.

TAA compliance also makes this strip compatible with procurement workflows tied to TAA-compliant security products, which is increasingly a baseline requirement on government and education contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 24S6012GBX99IV TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 24S6012GBX99IV is TAA compliant, making it eligible for GSA schedule purchases and federal government procurement programs that require Trade Agreements Act sourcing.

Q: How many outlets does the 24S6012GBX99IV provide?

A: The 24S6012GBX99IV has five duplex outlet positions, providing up to 10 individual plug connections across its 5-foot (1.5 m) length.

Q: What is the overall length of the 24S6012GBX99IV?

A: The strip is 5 feet (1.5 m / 60 inches) long — suited for running down the side of a standard relay rack or along a surface-mount raceway channel.

Q: What does the GB device configuration mean on the 24S6012GBX99IV?

A: GB designates the grounding-bar device configuration within the V2400-series product family. This is the standard commercial configuration for rack and raceway multioutlet strips in this line.

Q: What series is the 24S6012GBX99IV part of?

A: The 24S6012GBX99IV is part of the Middle Atlantic V2400-series steel plugmold multioutlet strip family, designed for surface-mount raceway and rack installation environments.

The 24S6012GBX99IV is a practical power strip choice when you need five duplex outlets distributed evenly over a 60-inch run — the kind of layout that actually matches how equipment populates a relay rack rather than clustering everything at one end. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, which matters the moment your project hits a federal or GSA contract requirement.

Technical Highlights:

• Five Duplex Outlets / 5-Foot Length: One duplex position roughly every 12 inches across the 1.5 m strip — covers a full rack column without leaving dead zones at the top or bottom, and avoids the cable-length compromises that come with shorter strips on tall racks.
• TAA Compliance: Verified on this SKU. For government security integrators working GSA schedule or federally funded site builds, this clears procurement without a sourcing waiver — non-TAA alternatives create paperwork problems that slow project close.
• GB Device Configuration / Steel V2400-Series: Steel housing over plastic means this strip handles the physical environment of a working rack — cable strain, heat cycling, repeated moves. The GB grounding-bar configuration is the standard commercial spec for this family, consistent with raceway and rack installation requirements.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 5 feet (60 inches), this strip fits most standard relay rack depths and wall-mount enclosures, but confirm your rack's usable interior height and outlet spacing requirements before ordering — the V2400 family has length variants, so match the strip length to your actual rack column, not a round number.
• Five duplex outlets (up to 10 plugs) is the right count for a small-to-mid-density security head-end, but if you're loading a rack with high-draw NVRs or UPS units with large plug footprints, verify that your equipment's plug bodies won't physically block adjacent duplex positions on a closely spaced strip.

The 24S6012GBX99IV is best positioned for government-site security rack builds — specifically any installation where TAA sourcing is a contract requirement and you need clean, evenly distributed outlet coverage down a standard rack column without improvising with multiple consumer-grade power strips.
