Middle Atlantic Plgmd 5FT.SGL CRT 12IN.O - V24GB512

Middle Atlantic V24GB512 Steel Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

The Middle Atlantic V24GB512 is a 5 ft (1.5 m) steel Plugmold multioutlet strip with GB-configuration receptacles spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart — a straightforward power distribution solution for rack enclosures, AV systems, and security equipment installations where outlet spacing and TAA compliance matter. If you are sourcing power strips for federal, state, or municipal projects with trade-agreement requirements, the V24GB512 checks that box out of the box.

Key Features

• 5 ft (1.5 m) Strip Length: Provides enough reach to span a standard 19-inch rack column or run along a wall channel without extension concerns — install it where the load is, not where the cord reaches.
• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: At 30.5 cm between outlets, large wall-wart adapters and bulky power bricks sit side by side without blocking adjacent receptacles — a practical advantage over tighter 6-inch-spaced strips in mixed-device rack builds.
• GB Device Configuration: Standard grounded duplex-style receptacles compatible with common North American plugs used across IP cameras, access control panels, intercoms, and AV receivers.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — relevant for GSA Schedule orders, federal procurement, and any government end-user project where country-of-origin compliance is audited.

Integration & Compatibility

The V24GB512 is part of Middle Atlantic's power and raceway product line, designed to integrate with their rack enclosures and cable management systems. It suits installations alongside power distribution units and rack systems where consistent outlet spacing reduces cable management headaches. For larger installations requiring surge protection or metered PDUs, consider stepping up within the Middle Atlantic power catalog — the V24GB512 is a basic distribution strip without built-in surge suppression or remote monitoring. Pair it with a dedicated UPS or battery backup upstream if the connected load requires power conditioning or ride-through during outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic V24GB512 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V24GB512 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal and government procurement projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the V24GB512?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart along the 5 ft strip, which accommodates bulky power adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What receptacle type does the V24GB512 use?

A: The V24GB512 uses GB device configuration — standard grounded duplex receptacles compatible with North American plugs.

Q: How long is the V24GB512 strip?

A: The strip is 5 ft (1.5 m) in length.

Q: Does the V24GB512 include surge protection?

A: Surge protection is not listed in the verified specifications for the V24GB512. If surge suppression is required, pair this strip with an upstream surge protector or UPS.

The V24GB512 is one of those components that does not get glamorized but causes real headaches when you get it wrong. The 12-inch receptacle spacing is the specification that matters most on a working rack build — I have seen integrators order 6-inch-spaced strips and spend an hour rearranging loads because half the outlets were blocked by transformer bricks on IP cameras or access control panels.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: At 30.5 cm between outlets, this strip handles mixed plug profiles — a camera PSU next to a switch adapter next to an access panel supply — without wasted ports.
• 5 ft Strip Length: Covers a standard rack column run at 1.5 m without requiring an extension, keeping the installation clean and within Middle Atlantic's raceway ecosystem.
• TAA Compliance: Documented TAA compliance means you can drop this into a federal or state government quote without a country-of-origin waiver conversation — the compliance is built in, not an afterthought.

Deployment Considerations:

• The V24GB512 is a basic distribution strip — there is no surge suppression, no metering, and no remote monitoring documented in the verified specs. Plan your upstream protection separately if the downstream load warrants it.
• Verify your actual outlet count requirement against the 5 ft length and 12-inch spacing before ordering: at 12 inches per receptacle, you are working with a limited number of positions along 60 inches of strip — count your loads first.

This strip is the right call for government-procurement rack builds and TAA-sensitive integrations where outlet spacing is a practical concern and compliance documentation cannot be an afterthought.
