Middle Atlantic V24GB306 Steel Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V24GB306 is a 3-foot steel Plugmold multi-outlet strip designed for rack and AV enclosure installations where consistent outlet spacing matters. Part of Middle Atlantic's power and raceway line, the V24GB306 uses a GB device configuration with 6-inch receptacle spacing — a layout that prevents transformer blocks on adjacent outlets from overlapping and blocking neighboring receptacles. TAA compliance makes it a viable choice for government and federal procurement projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act.

Key Features

• 3 ft (0.9 m) Length: Sized to fit standard half-rack or smaller enclosure depths without excess cord management overhead. If you're populating a full 6U rack section, plan on two units rather than one longer strip.
• 6-Inch Receptacle Spacing (15.2 cm): The 6-inch center-to-center layout is the practical spec here — wall warts and brick-style power supplies won't block adjacent outlets, keeping all receptacles usable. Tighter 4-inch strips are a persistent frustration in rack builds; this avoids that.
• GB Device Configuration: The GB configuration specifies standard grounded duplex receptacles, compatible with standard NEMA 5-15 plugs common across IP cameras, NVRs, access control panels, and AV gear in rack power distribution applications.
• TAA Compliant: Qualifies for U.S. government contracts and federally funded projects requiring Trade Agreements Act compliance — a requirement that eliminates many competing products from consideration on GSA schedules and DoD procurements.

Integration & Compatibility

The V24GB306 is suited for integration into Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and third-party standard EIA 19-inch racks. The Plugmold form factor mounts horizontally in rack rails or vertically along enclosure sidewalls, making it adaptable to both equipment bays and custom AV furniture. Pair with a compatible rack enclosure or cable management system to keep power distribution tidy in multi-device builds. For larger installations or higher outlet counts, consider longer Plugmold variants in the same V24GB series. When planning rack power for NVRs and PoE switches, also review your UPS and power conditioning options to ensure upstream protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic V24GB306 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V24GB306 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal government contracts and GSA schedule procurement.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the V24GB306?

A: Receptacles are spaced 6 inches (15.2 cm) apart center-to-center, which accommodates bulky transformer plugs without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What length is the V24GB306?

A: The V24GB306 is 3 feet (0.9 meters) long.

Q: What outlet type does the V24GB306 use?

A: The GB device configuration provides standard grounded duplex receptacles compatible with NEMA 5-15 plugs.

Q: Can the V24GB306 be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack?

A: Yes. The Plugmold strip is designed for rack and enclosure installation, compatible with standard EIA 19-inch rack systems.

The V24GB306 comes up often in rack builds where integrators have learned the hard way that a 4-inch strip wastes half its outlets to wall warts. The 6-inch spacing on this unit means every receptacle stays accessible — that's the single spec that makes it the right call over cheaper strips in dense AV and security enclosures.

Technical Highlights:

• 6-Inch Receptacle Spacing: At 15.2 cm center-to-center, even double-wide transformer blocks on one outlet won't encroach on the next — a real-world usability advantage in racks where every outlet counts.
• 3 ft Length: The 0.9 m form factor is intentional for half-rack or shallow enclosure use; it's not a cost-cut on a longer strip, it's sized for environments where a 6-foot unit would overhang or require coiling.
• TAA Compliance: For integrators bidding on government or federally funded security projects, TAA compliance on power distribution components is a procurement gate, not a nice-to-have. The V24GB306 clears that gate.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify outlet count against your device count before ordering — at 6-inch spacing over 3 feet, available receptacles are limited; for higher outlet density, look at longer Plugmold variants in the V24GB series.
• The GB configuration covers standard NEMA 5-15 loads only; if your rack includes equipment requiring 20A NEMA 5-20 receptacles, confirm compatibility or spec the appropriate Plugmold variant before installation.

The V24GB306 is the right fit for government-contract rack builds and AV enclosures where TAA compliance is required and outlet spacing discipline matters more than raw outlet count.
