Middle Atlantic V24GB506 Steel Plugmold 5 ft Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V24GB506 is a 5 ft (1.5 m) steel Plugmold multioutlet strip built for structured rack and raceway power distribution in commercial AV, security, and IT installations. With GB-configuration receptacles spaced 6 in (15.2 cm) apart, it provides predictable outlet placement for gear that cannot share tightly packed outlets — a practical detail that matters when you're populating a rack with wall warts or oversized power adapters. TAA compliance makes it procurement-eligible for federal, state, and education projects with domestic sourcing requirements. As part of the Middle Atlantic power and raceway line, the V24GB506 fits within a well-established ecosystem of rack infrastructure components.

Key Features

• 5 ft (1.5 m) Length: Covers the height of a standard half-rack bay or mounts horizontally along a raceway run — long enough to service a concentrated equipment cluster without requiring an extension or a second strip.
• 6 in (15.2 cm) Receptacle Spacing: Wider-than-typical outlet spacing prevents bulky power adapters from blocking adjacent receptacles. If you've ever lost two outlets to a single wall wart, this spacing solves that problem directly.
• GB Device Configuration: Standard grounded duplex receptacles compatible with conventional IEC-to-NEMA power cords used across commercial power distribution applications — no adapter hardware needed.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the V24GB506 a straightforward choice for rack accessories on government or federally funded projects where country-of-origin documentation is audited.
• Steel Construction: The Plugmold housing provides the mechanical durability expected in a raceway and cord cover environment — resistant to the incidental impact common in active equipment rooms and behind-panel installations.

Integration & Compatibility

The V24GB506 is designed to integrate within Middle Atlantic's Plugmold V24GB product family. It is suitable for surface mounting in equipment rooms, behind rack panels, and along raceway runs in security head-end closets, surveillance NVR bays, and AV equipment racks. The 5 ft length and 6 in outlet spacing are fixed — if your installation requires tighter spacing or a longer run, evaluate other configurations within the Middle Atlantic Plugmold family before specifying.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. The V24GB506 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on government, federal, and education projects with Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the V24GB506?

A: Receptacles are spaced 6 in (15.2 cm) apart along the 5 ft (1.5 m) strip length.

Q: What receptacle configuration does the V24GB506 use?

A: The V24GB506 uses a GB device configuration — standard grounded duplex receptacles compatible with conventional NEMA power cords.

Q: How long is the V24GB506 strip?

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

Q: Can the V24GB506 be used in rack enclosures?

A: Yes. The Plugmold form factor is compatible with rack and raceway mounting in equipment rooms, security head-end closets, and AV bays. Verify mounting bracket compatibility with your specific rack model before installation.

The V24GB506 is a detail that separates a clean rack build from a messy one. That 6 in (15.2 cm) receptacle spacing is the spec that earns its keep — on a 5 ft strip you get predictable outlet positions that accommodate bulky power supplies without blocking adjacent ports, which matters the moment you start populating NVR bays or access control panels with wall-mount adapters.

Technical Highlights:

• 6 in Receptacle Spacing: At 15.2 cm center-to-center, oversized power adapters clear adjacent receptacles cleanly — no tape-flagging outlets as lost.
• 5 ft Strip Length: At 1.5 m, the V24GB506 spans a standard half-rack bay vertically or covers a typical raceway horizontal run without splicing.
• TAA Compliant: Procurement teams on federal or education projects can spec this without a domestic-sourcing waiver — the compliance is built in, not added after.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm mounting bracket compatibility with your rack model before ordering — the Plugmold form factor assumes a raceway or surface-mount track that may require a separate bracket accessory.
• The GB configuration uses standard grounded duplex outlets; if your installation requires a different receptacle type (NEMA 5-20R, L5-30R, etc.), this is not the correct model — verify amperage and receptacle type against your circuit and load requirements before specifying.

The V24GB506 is the right call for security head-end closets and NVR rack bays on federally funded projects where TAA compliance is audited and outlet spacing for mixed adapter sizes is a recurring install headache.
