Middle Atlantic Plgmd 6FT.2 CRT 12IN. OC - V20GBA612

Middle Atlantic V20GBA612 Steel Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V20GBA612 is a 6 ft (1.8 m) steel Plugmold multi-outlet strip designed for structured rack and cabinet installations where consistent outlet spacing and TAA compliance are required. The 12-inch (30.5 cm) receptacle spacing gives each device adequate separation to accommodate standard plugs without crowding — a practical consideration in AV racks, security equipment cabinets, and wall-mounted enclosures where plug-block conflicts eat into usable outlets. Ivory finish suits typical light-colored rack interiors and surface-mounted raceway runs. TAA compliance makes this a straightforward procurement for federal contracts and government-funded projects under the Trade Agreements Act.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: Spans a standard 6U-to-8U range of a rack column or a full desktop/workbench run without requiring extension. Long enough for most single-rack power distribution needs without excess cord management overhead.
• 12 in (30.5 cm) Receptacle Spacing: Wider-than-average spacing means wall warts and transformer blocks won't overlap neighboring outlets. In security rack builds where NVR power supplies, PoE switch adapters, and controller bricks all compete for space, this spacing prevents the plug-block problem before it starts.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying for GSA schedules and federal government procurement without additional waivers. If your project has a TAA clause, this is a confirmed-compliant option at the power strip level.
• Ivory Color: Matches standard raceway and surface-mount conduit in commercial interior installations. Maintains a clean, professional appearance in visible or semi-exposed installs such as open-office AV credenzas or wall-surface security equipment runs.
• Steel Construction: Part of the Middle Atlantic steel Plugmold line, providing durability suited to commercial installations versus residential-grade plastic strips.

Integration & Compatibility

The V20GBA612 is part of Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic power and raceway line, designed to integrate with their surface-mount raceway systems for clean cable and outlet management in commercial environments. It pairs naturally with power distribution equipment and rack infrastructure in network and security cabinets. When deploying multi-camera or multi-device security racks, pairing with a dedicated rack PDU upstream provides circuit-level protection and monitoring. For AV and security rack builds requiring TAA-compliant components throughout, this strip satisfies the power outlet layer without special sourcing. Verify outlet count against your specific installed load before specifying — receptacle count is not listed in available evidence and should be confirmed against the manufacturer datasheet for precise circuit planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the V20GBA612 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V20GBA612 is confirmed TAA compliant per manufacturer specifications, qualifying it for federal government procurement and GSA schedule use.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the V20GBA612?

A: Receptacle spacing is 12 inches (30.5 cm), providing enough clearance between outlets to accommodate transformer blocks and wall warts without overlapping.

Q: What length is the V20GBA612?

A: The strip is 6 ft (1.8 m) in length.

Q: What color is the V20GBA612?

A: Ivory — suited for light-colored raceway systems and commercial interior installations.

Q: Can the V20GBA612 be used in a government or federal project?

A: Yes. TAA compliance makes it eligible for federal contracts and projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Jerry Tildsen

The V20GBA612 comes up in bids where a TAA-compliant power strip is a line-item requirement and the project team wants something purpose-built for raceway integration rather than a big-box hardware store strip. The 12-inch receptacle spacing is the spec I'd point integrators to first — in a rack with four or five power supplies all trying to share a 6-outlet strip, that spacing is what keeps you from losing half your capacity to plug-block.

Technical Highlights:

• 12 in Receptacle Spacing: At 30.5 cm between outlets, this strip handles transformer-heavy loads — typical in AV and security racks — without outlet conflicts that force daisy-chain workarounds.
• 6 ft Run Length: The 1.8 m length covers a full standard rack column side-to-side or a clean wall-surface run without splicing additional strips mid-run.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed at the SKU level — not a brand-level claim — which matters when a contracting officer reviews individual line items on a government purchase order.

Deployment Considerations:

• Outlet count is not confirmed in available specifications — verify the exact receptacle count against the manufacturer datasheet before committing to a circuit-load calculation on a large rack build.
• Ivory finish is correct for surface-mount raceway runs in standard commercial interiors; if your installation uses a darker raceway color, confirm finish compatibility before ordering.

Best fit for federal or state government security or AV rack projects where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and plug-block clearance matters — municipal dispatch centers, courtroom AV builds, and government-contracted physical security installations are the target environment.
