Middle Atlantic Plgmd 6FT. 2 CRT 12IN. OC - G20GBA612

Middle Atlantic G20GBA612 Steel Plugmold Multi-Outlet Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic G20GBA612 is a 6 ft (1.8 m) steel plugmold multi-outlet system designed for structured power distribution inside AV racks, security enclosures, and equipment rooms. With outlets spaced at a consistent 12 in (30.5 cm) on-center, it delivers predictable, evenly distributed AC access without the outlet crowding that plagues standard power strips when multiple wide-body adapters or power supplies compete for space. Gray finish integrates cleanly into standard rack and raceway installations. TAA compliance makes it a viable option for government facilities and federally funded projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) run length: covers the vertical span of a standard equipment rack or a meaningful horizontal wall segment — long enough to serve a multi-device security head-end without daisy-chaining strips.
• 12 in (30.5 cm) outlet spacing: wide enough that most transformer-style power supplies occupy their own slot without blocking adjacent outlets — a practical detail that matters when you're powering a mix of NVRs, switches, and access control panels from a single strip.
• Steel construction: more durable than plastic-body alternatives under the physical demands of integrator installation and long-term rack use; resists flexing and physical stress in mounted enclosures.
• TAA compliant: meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying G20GBA612 for U.S. government, education, and federally funded commercial projects where country-of-origin compliance is a procurement requirement.
• Gray finish: matches standard rack and raceway color conventions, keeping installations visually consistent without requiring custom finishing.

Integration & Compatibility

The G20GBA612 is part of the Middle Atlantic plugmold and raceway line, designed to integrate with their enclosure and raceway ecosystem. It suits fixed installations in rack power distribution applications — security head-ends, AV equipment rooms, and structured cabling enclosures where consistent outlet placement simplifies cable management. For larger deployments or higher outlet density, review other run lengths and spacing configurations in the power strip and surge protection category. If your project requires surge suppression or UPS-backed outlets, pair this strip with an appropriate UPS or power conditioning unit upstream — the G20GBA612 itself provides outlet distribution only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the G20GBA612 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The G20GBA612 is TAA compliant, qualifying it for U.S. government and federally funded projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the G20GBA612?

A: Outlets are spaced 12 in (30.5 cm) on-center along the 6 ft run, providing enough separation to accommodate most transformer-style power supplies without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: Does the G20GBA612 include surge protection?

A: Based on available specifications, the G20GBA612 is a multi-outlet distribution strip. No surge suppression is listed in the evidence for this model — if surge protection is required, pair it with an appropriate upstream device.

Q: What color is the G20GBA612?

A: Gray, consistent with standard rack and raceway installation color conventions.

The G20GBA612's 12-inch on-center outlet spacing is the spec that actually matters on an install — it's the difference between a clean head-end where every device has its own slot and a tangled mess of blocked outlets when half your power supplies are wide-body bricks. At 6 ft, this strip handles a full equipment rack column without needing a second run.

Technical Highlights:

• 12 in outlet spacing: on-center consistency means you can pre-plan device placement before the rack is populated — no guessing whether a particular adapter will fit once everything is mounted.
• 6 ft run: matches standard 42U rack height needs in most single-row security head-end builds; one strip, one home run to the panel.
• TAA compliance: a procurement requirement on government and education contracts that is easy to overlook until bid review — having it confirmed on the G20GBA612 avoids a last-minute substitution.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify outlet count against your device inventory before ordering — the 12-inch spacing over 6 ft yields a fixed number of receptacles, and adding a second strip mid-project is cleaner than discovering a shortfall after the rack is dressed.
• This strip provides outlet distribution only; no surge suppression or filtering is specified. For sensitive NVR or network equipment, budget for upstream power conditioning.

Best fit for government or institutional security head-ends where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and clean, evenly spaced AC distribution across a standard rack run is the design goal.
