Middle Atlantic 24S7218GBA99IV Steel Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 24S7218GBA99IV is a 6-foot (1.8 m) steel V2400-series Plugmold multioutlet strip configured with four duplex outlets in a GBA device arrangement. Designed for structured rack and cabinet deployments, it delivers organized, code-compliant power distribution across AV, security, and IT infrastructure builds where outlet density and cable management discipline matter. If you are sourcing power strips for a government facility or a federal procurement requiring TAA compliance, this model is verified to qualify — no substitution needed.

The Middle Atlantic power distribution lineup is engineered for the physical infrastructure market: rack-mount enclosures, cable management, and now power strips purpose-built for commercial and institutional environments rather than consumer-grade alternatives that degrade under continuous load. The 24S7218GBA99IV fits squarely in the power distribution category for integrators who need predictable, long-service components.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: The strip's 72-inch run gives you enough reach to span the full vertical height of a standard 45U rack and then some — useful when you need to distribute outlets across multiple rack zones without daisy-chaining extension cords, which is both a code issue and a reliability risk in live deployments.
• Four Duplex Outlets (GBA Configuration): The GBA device configuration provides four duplex outlet positions — meaning up to eight individual receptacles depending on the installed devices — spaced across the full 6-foot length. Even outlet distribution eliminates the crowding that causes plug conflicts on shorter strips, keeping power bricks separated and airflow unobstructed.
• Steel Construction (V2400 Series): Steel raceway versus plastic is not an aesthetic preference in rack environments — it matters for physical durability under constant cable tension, resistance to deformation near heat sources, and compliance with structured wiring standards. The V2400 series steel body holds its shape through installation stress that would crack a polymer housing.
• TAA Compliant: The 24S7218GBA99IV is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, which is a hard procurement gate for federal agency contracts, GSA schedule orders, and many state and local government projects. Specifying a non-TAA strip on a government build creates a compliance problem at close-out — verifying compliance at the part number level, as this model supports, avoids that entirely.
• Plugmold V2400 Series Compatibility: As part of the V2400 Plugmold ecosystem, this strip is compatible with Legrand's modular device inserts, meaning outlet types and configurations can be adapted to match your specific receptacle needs — 20A, 15A, GFCI, or specialty — without re-ordering a different base strip.

Integration & Compatibility

The 24S7218GBA99IV is part of the broader rack power accessory category and integrates directly into standard surface-mount or wireway applications typical in security head-end rooms, IDF closets, and AV equipment racks. The V2400 series uses a surface-raceway mounting approach that pairs with Legrand's raceway fittings and elbows, making it straightforward to route along the interior of an enclosure or mount flush to a wall or rack panel.

For integrators building out network rack enclosures or structured security cabinets, this strip provides consistent outlet placement without requiring additional power conditioning on circuits where the primary UPS or panel already handles surge and conditioning. Pair it with an appropriately rated circuit (20A branch, given the GBA configuration) for compliant installation per NEC guidelines.

The TAA compliance status makes this strip a direct fit for GSA schedule procurement and federal integrator bids. Confirm your specific project's Buy American or TAA documentation requirements at bid stage — the 24S7218GBA99IV satisfies the TAA gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 24S7218GBA99IV TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 24S7218GBA99IV is verified TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for federal, GSA schedule, and government-procurement projects requiring TAA-compliant components.

Q: How many outlets does the 24S7218GBA99IV provide?

A: The strip is configured with four duplex outlet positions in the GBA device configuration across its 6-foot length, for a total of up to eight individual receptacle ports depending on installed device inserts.

Q: What is the length of the 24S7218GBA99IV?

A: The strip measures 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length — long enough to span the full height of a standard equipment rack for top-to-bottom outlet distribution.

Q: What series does the Middle Atlantic 24S7218GBA99IV belong to?

A: It is part of the Legrand/Middle Atlantic V2400 Series Steel Plugmold multioutlet system, which supports modular device inserts and standard surface-raceway fittings.

Q: Can the 24S7218GBA99IV be used in government facility builds?

A: Yes. Its TAA compliance specifically addresses the procurement requirements common to federal and state government builds. Verify your project's specific documentation requirements at bid time.

Q: Is the 24S7218GBA99IV compatible with standard Plugmold raceway fittings?

A: Yes. As a V2400 series strip, it is compatible with Legrand Plugmold surface-raceway fittings, elbows, and device inserts within that product family.

When I spec the 24S7218GBA99IV for a head-end room or IDF build, the TAA compliance flag is the first thing I call out to the integrator — on any federal or GSA-schedule project, a single non-TAA power strip can trigger a compliance hold at close-out. The four-duplex GBA configuration across 6 feet of steel raceway gives you real outlet separation, not the cluster you get with a compact strip where every power brick competes for space.

Technical Highlights:

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: Spans a full 45U rack cabinet vertically with room to spare, allowing outlet distribution across upper, mid, and lower rack zones without extension cords — which are a NEC violation in many commercial builds.
• Four Duplex Outlets — GBA Configuration: Even spacing across 72 inches means power bricks from NVRs, switches, and access control panels stay separated, reducing heat stacking and plug conflicts common on short-strip deployments.
• TAA Compliant: Verified at the part number level — not a blanket brand claim. That distinction matters when your GC or agency CO pulls the compliance documentation at project closeout.

Deployment Considerations:

• The V2400 series uses a surface-raceway mounting system — plan your raceway fittings and elbows before installation. A strip this length needs proper end fittings and mid-run supports to sit flush and stay fixed under cable load.
• The GBA configuration is a fixed device arrangement — if your outlet type requirement changes (GFCI, 20A T-slot, etc.), you will need a different base model from the V2400 family, not a field modification.

The 24S7218GBA99IV is the right call for security head-end rooms and IDF closets on government or institutional projects where TAA compliance is a hard requirement and outlet density across a full rack height is the practical need.
