Middle Atlantic 24S7212IGX99IV Plugmold 20A 72-Inch 12-Inch OC Isolated Ground Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 24S7212IGX99IV is a 6-foot (1.8 m) steel V2400-series plugmold multioutlet strip configured with six isolated ground (IG) duplex outlets on 12-inch center spacing. Built for rack-adjacent and raceway installations in government facilities, broadcast environments, and security operations centers, this strip delivers clean, interference-reduced power distribution where standard outlets introduce unacceptable ground noise into sensitive electronics. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward procurement choice for federal, state, and local government projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act. If you're wiring a new rack room or retrofitting power distribution in a sensitive-signal environment, the Middle Atlantic power distribution lineup warrants a close look before you spec generic PDUs.

Key Features

• Six Isolated Ground Duplex Outlets: IG outlets separate the equipment ground from the safety ground on a dedicated grounding conductor — this is the spec that matters when audio consoles, network analyzers, or sensitive surveillance recorders pick up 60Hz hum from shared-ground installations. Each of the six duplex positions runs isolated, so a noisy UPS on one circuit segment doesn't bleed into adjacent connected devices.
• 6-Foot (1.8 m) Strip Length, 12-Inch On-Center Spacing: At 72 inches long with outlets every 12 inches, you get clean access for six duplex positions without adapter stacking. A 12-inch center lets you plug in standard IEC-format power bricks side by side without blocking adjacent outlets — a small detail that saves a surprising amount of field time during dense rack builds.
• V2400-Series Steel Construction: The steel raceway chassis holds its form under load and resists the deformation that cheaper strips show after years of cable tension. For permanent rack-room or wall-raceway installs, the rigid body also simplifies secure surface mounting without flex or rattle over time.
• TAA Compliant: This unit satisfies Trade Agreements Act requirements, which means it clears the procurement gates on federal contracts, GSA schedules, and most state government projects with TAA clauses. No waiver required, no substitution argument — just check the box and move on.
• Plugmold Raceway Integration: Designed to drop into Middle Atlantic's V2400 plugmold raceway system, so this strip integrates directly into surface-mounted raceway runs rather than sitting as a loose strip. For AV racks, wall-mounted equipment panels, or control room consoles, this keeps power distribution flush and organized rather than zip-tied to a shelf edge.
• 20A Rating: Rated at 20 amperes, the strip handles the sustained draw of rack-mounted security recorders, managed switches, and access control panels without thermal derating concerns under normal load profiles. Pair it with a dedicated 20A breaker circuit for a clean, code-compliant power segment.

Integration & Compatibility

The 24S7212IGX99IV is designed specifically for the Middle Atlantic V2400 series raceway system — it installs directly into the matching raceway channel, making it the natural choice when that raceway is already specified for a project. Outside of the V2400 raceway, the strip can also be surface-mounted independently in rack rooms or control rooms where a rigid, fixed-position multioutlet strip is preferred over a traditional rack-mount PDU. The power distribution category covers complementary rack PDU options for comparison. For installations in server and AV rack systems, confirm that the mounting depth and outlet orientation suit your cable management layout before ordering. Consult your power planning guide to size circuits correctly for mixed-load racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 24S7212IGX99IV TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 24S7212IGX99IV is confirmed TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, state, and local government procurement under Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What does the isolated ground (IG) configuration mean in practice?

A: Isolated ground outlets provide a dedicated grounding conductor separated from the safety ground path. This reduces electrical noise and ground loops that affect sensitive audio, video, and data equipment — particularly relevant in security operations centers, broadcast racks, and government control rooms.

Q: How many outlets does the 24S7212IGX99IV provide?

A: The strip provides 6 duplex isolated ground outlets, spaced 12 inches on center across the 72-inch (6 ft) length.

Q: What raceway system does this strip fit?

A: The 24S7212IGX99IV is part of Middle Atlantic's V2400 series steel plugmold multioutlet system and is designed to integrate with the V2400 raceway channel.

Q: What amperage is this strip rated for?

A: The strip is rated at 20A. Plan your branch circuit accordingly — a dedicated 20A circuit is the standard pairing for a single strip under full load.

Q: Can this strip be surface-mounted outside of the V2400 raceway?

A: Yes. While optimized for integration into the V2400 raceway system, the steel chassis supports surface mounting in rack rooms and control rooms where a standalone fixed multioutlet strip is needed.

The spec that earns the 24S7212IGX99IV its place on my quote sheets isn't the 20A rating or even the 6-foot length — it's the isolated ground configuration. In rack rooms where a surveillance NVR, an access control server, and a managed PoE switch share the same power strip, a standard shared-ground strip is a reliable source of ground-loop noise into audio annunciation systems and analog monitoring gear. The IG outlets on this strip keep each device's equipment ground on a dedicated conductor, which is the correct fix — not a band-aid filter.

Technical Highlights:

• Isolated Ground (IG) Outlets: Six IG duplex positions, each with a separated equipment ground — the relevant spec when you're troubleshooting 60Hz interference in a mixed-device rack and need to eliminate the power distribution layer as the source.
• 12-Inch On-Center Spacing: Six duplex outlets across 72 inches means you're not fighting for outlet positions with transformer bricks. Standard IEC power supplies sit side by side without overlap — saves field adapters and keeps the cable run clean.
• TAA Compliant: Confirmed TAA compliance means this clears federal and state procurement without substitution arguments. For integrators quoting GSA-schedule or cooperative contract projects, this is the version to spec — not a standard-ground substitute that needs a waiver.

Deployment Considerations:

• This strip is built for the V2400 raceway channel — if the raceway isn't already in the project scope, confirm that surface-mount standalone deployment still meets your cable management requirements before ordering, since the strip form factor is optimized for raceway insertion.
• At 72 inches, the strip length exceeds most standard rack widths; this is a wall-raceway or console-mount solution, not a standard 1U or 2U rack PDU. Verify your mounting surface accommodates the full 6-foot run before installation.

For a federal security operations center or a TAA-mandated government surveillance rack room where ground noise is a documented problem and procurement compliance is non-negotiable, the 24S7212IGX99IV is the straightforward, spec-defensible answer.
