Middle Atlantic Plgmd 5FT.SGL CRT 6IN.OC - V20GB506

Middle Atlantic V20GB506 Aluminum Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V20GB506 is a 5-foot aluminum plugmold multi-outlet strip with 6-inch on-center receptacle spacing — a rack and enclosure power distribution staple for AV integrators, IT architects, and security installers who need clean, organized power runs inside equipment cabinets or along raceway channels. At 1.25 inches tall and just 0.88 inches deep, the V20GB506 sits flush in tight spaces without interfering with cabling or adjacent gear. The ivory finish suits open-office and commercial environments where aesthetics matter alongside function. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward procurement line item on government and federal contractor projects.

Key Features

• 5-Foot Length (1.5 m): covers a full equipment rack side-panel run or a standard workbench width without splicing — reduces the number of strips needed in a single cabinet and keeps wiring tidy.
• 6-Inch On-Center Receptacle Spacing: wide enough to accommodate standard wall-wart power adapters side by side without blocking adjacent outlets — a practical detail that disappears fast when you're populating a rack with a mix of brick-style supplies.
• Low-Profile 0.88-Inch Depth: fits inside shallow raceways and surface-mount channels without protruding past the cover — pairs cleanly with Wiremold and compatible raceway systems where depth clearance is limited.
• 1.25-Inch Height Profile: slides under cable trays or mounts flush to vertical rack channels — keeps the power run out of the primary cable management zone.
• TAA Compliant: meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government procurement — no extra documentation chase when the project is a federal facility, DoD site, or GSA contract.
• Ivory Finish: matches standard commercial-grade outlet and raceway hardware in office, education, and light-commercial environments — avoids the visual mismatch of black hardware in beige or white installations.
• 6-Inch Width: provides a stable mounting footprint for surface or raceway applications, distributing the strip's weight evenly across the mount points.

Integration & Compatibility

The V20GB506 is designed to drop into raceway and cord cover systems — specifically the Wiremold/Legrand aluminum plugmold family. The 6-inch on-center spacing and overall 5-foot run suit standard 19-inch rack cabinet side channels and open-frame rack power runs. For larger enclosures or higher-density outlet counts, consider a longer strip in the same family or a dedicated rack PDU with surge and circuit protection. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, making it compatible with GSA Schedule procurement workflows without additional sourcing documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long is the V20GB506 strip?

A: The strip is 5 feet (1.5 meters) long — suitable for a full rack side-panel run or standard workbench installation.

Q: What color is the V20GB506?

A: The V20GB506 is finished in ivory, matching standard commercial-grade outlet and raceway hardware in office and light-commercial environments.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the V20GB506?

A: The strip measures 1.25 inches tall (3.2 cm), 0.88 inches deep (2.2 cm), and 6 inches wide (15.2 cm) across its 5-foot length.

Karl Wilson

The detail I always check first on a plugmold strip is the receptacle spacing — and the V20GB506's 6-inch on-center layout is the spec that determines whether your power adapters actually fit without blocking each other. I've seen integrators order a strip, populate it with brick-style supplies, and lose half the outlets to adapter overlap. At 6 inches, the V20GB506 gives you real usable density in a 5-foot run.

Technical Highlights:

• 0.88-Inch Depth: fits inside shallow surface raceways without protruding past the channel cover — critical when you're running this inside a Wiremold aluminum raceway and need the lid to close cleanly.
• TAA Compliance: confirmed for this SKU — no sourcing exceptions needed on federal projects or GSA schedules, which saves procurement headaches on government facility builds.
• 1.25-Inch Height Profile: low enough to mount on a rack vertical channel without eating into adjacent cable management space — keeps the power run subordinate to the structured cabling above it.

Deployment Considerations:

• The ivory finish is purpose-matched to commercial and light-institutional environments — if your rack enclosure is black, verify aesthetics before ordering; the color is fixed for this SKU.
• The V20GB506 provides no surge suppression or circuit protection — for deployments where equipment protection is required, pair with an upstream surge-protected PDU or breaker panel.

The V20GB506 is the right call for government facility AV/IT builds where TAA compliance is non-negotiable and you need a clean, low-profile power strip that fits standard aluminum raceway channels without modification.
