Middle Atlantic Plgmd 5FT. 2 CRT 12IN. OC - V24GBA512

Middle Atlantic V24GBA512 5-Foot Steel Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V24GBA512 is a 5-foot (1.5 m) steel Plugmold multi-outlet strip built for structured rack and wall power distribution in commercial AV, security, and IT enclosures. With a GBA device configuration and 12-inch (30.5 cm) receptacle spacing, it delivers organized, evenly distributed power access across a full rack bay or equipment wall — eliminating the tangled, over-stressed power strips that plague field-improvised installs. If you're specifying power distribution for a Middle Atlantic rack system or retrofitting a credenza or wall enclosure, the V24GBA512 is the strip format most integrators reach for first.

Sourced factory-new with no grey-market or parallel-import risk, the V24GBA512 carries TAA compliance — a firm requirement for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act. That compliance is verified at the SKU level, not assumed from the brand.

Key Features

• 5-Foot (1.5 m) Run Length: A full 5-foot strip spans the usable interior height of a standard 45U or 42U rack without cutting short — enough coverage to reach wall-mount enclosures, furniture rack installations, or credenza bays without extension cords or secondary strips that create compliance headaches.
• 12-Inch (30.5 cm) Receptacle Spacing: Outlets spaced 12 inches apart means wall-warts and wide transformer blocks on adjacent plugs don't physically conflict. In practice, this spacing handles virtually all commercial AV and security brick-style adapters without a sacrificed outlet — a real time-saver during final punch-out when every outlet counts.
• GBA Device Configuration: The GBA configuration is the standard grounded, straight-blade outlet format used across commercial power distribution — compatible with standard NEMA plugs found on rack equipment, IP cameras, access control panels, and AV gear without adapters or rewiring.
• TAA Compliant: Federal, GSA schedule, and most state/municipal contracts require TAA-compliant power distribution. The V24GBA512 meets that requirement at the SKU level, so you can specify it on government or education projects without substitution risk mid-install.
• Steel Construction: The V24 series uses steel housing — more rigid than plastic strip alternatives and appropriate for permanent rack or wall installations where mechanical stability and a finished appearance matter. Steel also handles incidental heat from adjacent equipment better than consumer-grade plastic strips.
• Middle Atlantic Ecosystem Fit: Designed to integrate with rack power distribution architectures common in AV, security, and IT — pairs naturally with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures, rack shelves, and cable management accessories. No custom brackets or adapters required for standard Middle Atlantic rack integration.

Integration and Compatibility

The V24GBA512 is compatible with any installation requiring a standard-format multi-outlet strip: security head-end racks, AV equipment bays, server room wall panels, and furniture-integrated rack systems. The GBA straight-blade outlet format accepts standard commercial and residential NEMA plugs — no adapters needed for NVRs, PoE switches, AV receivers, or access control power supplies. For larger installations requiring surge suppression, UPS integration, or metered PDU functionality, review the broader rack PDU and power management category before specifying the V24GBA512, which is an unmanaged strip without surge or conditioning features.

TAA compliance makes the V24GBA512 a direct fit for GSA schedule projects, federal agency deployments, and state/local government contracts that enforce Buy American or Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements. Pair it with a Middle Atlantic rack enclosure for a fully TAA-compliant rack power solution. For installations requiring circuit-level monitoring or remote switching, consider a managed network-managed PDU from the same product family instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the V24GBA512 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V24GBA512 carries verified TAA compliance at the SKU level, making it suitable for federal, GSA schedule, state, and municipal projects subject to Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the V24GBA512?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart along the 5-foot strip. This spacing accommodates most commercial wall-wart and transformer-style plugs without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What device configuration does the V24GBA512 use?

A: The V24GBA512 uses a GBA device configuration — standard grounded straight-blade outlets compatible with NEMA plugs found on the vast majority of commercial rack equipment, cameras, and AV gear.

Q: Does the V24GBA512 include surge protection or power conditioning?

A: Based on available specifications, the V24GBA512 is an unmanaged multi-outlet strip without surge suppression or power conditioning. For those features, a managed PDU or UPS-integrated solution would be required.

Q: How long is the V24GBA512?

A: The strip measures 5 feet (1.5 m) in length, making it suitable for full-height rack bays, wall enclosures, and furniture-integrated equipment installations.

Q: Can the V24GBA512 be used in government installations?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, so it satisfies sourcing requirements on most federal, state, and local government projects that enforce Trade Agreements Act rules.
