Middle Atlantic Plgmd 6FT. 2 CRT 18IN. OC - V24GBA618

Middle Atlantic V24GBA618 6 ft Steel Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V24GBA618 is a 6 ft (1.8 m) steel Plugmold multi-outlet strip designed for structured rack and raceway power distribution in AV, security, and IT installations. With 18-inch receptacle spacing in the GBA device configuration, it targets integrators who need clean, evenly spaced outlet access along a wall or cabinet without the clutter of daisy-chained power strips. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward choice for government facilities, public-sector bids, and any project with federal procurement requirements. As part of the Middle Atlantic power distribution and raceway line, the V24GBA618 is engineered to fit into the same raceway system used across commercial and government AV deployments.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Run Length: Long enough to cover a standard equipment bay or wall segment without splicing — reduces junction points and the fault risk that comes with them. If your run exceeds 6 ft, plan for a second strip or a longer variant in the same family.
• 18-inch Receptacle Spacing: At 45.7 cm center-to-center, outlets are spaced wide enough to accommodate wall-wart adapters on adjacent receptacles without blocking neighbors — a practical detail that matters in dense security and AV rack environments where oversized power supplies are common.
• GBA Device Configuration: The GBA designation specifies the outlet style and grounding configuration built into this strip. Confirm your receptacle type requirement before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers the same strip length in alternate configurations for different wiring standards and termination needs.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making the V24GBA618 eligible for GSA Schedule procurement and federal, state, and local government projects where domestic and TAA-country sourcing is contractually required. No substitutions or documentation workarounds needed.

Integration & Compatibility

The V24GBA618 is designed to integrate with Middle Atlantic V24GB raceway and cord cover systems — surface-mount channels widely deployed in commercial security and AV environments. Plan conduit and raceway runs before installation; the 18-inch spacing determines where devices land relative to equipment mounting points. For rack-based deployments, cross-reference with rack-mount PDU options if your equipment density or power management requirements exceed what a passive strip supports. For projects requiring both power distribution and cable management in a single raceway footprint, pairing this strip with compatible Middle Atlantic wire management components keeps the install clean and serviceable. When specifying for a structured AV or security integration, verify local electrical code requirements for surface-mount wiring methods in your jurisdiction — especially in plenum or wet-rated spaces where additional ratings apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the V24GBA618 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V24GBA618 carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making it eligible for GSA Schedule and federal, state, and local government procurement where TAA-country sourcing is required.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the V24GBA618?

A: Receptacle spacing is 18 inches (45.7 cm) center-to-center. This wide spacing accommodates bulky wall-wart adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What does the GBA device configuration mean?

A: GBA specifies the outlet style and grounding configuration for this strip. Verify your required receptacle type before ordering, as Middle Atlantic offers alternate configurations in the same strip length.

Q: How long is the V24GBA618?

A: The strip measures 6 ft (1.8 m) in length — sufficient for a standard equipment bay or single-wall raceway run without splicing.

Q: Can the V24GBA618 be used on government projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance means it meets procurement requirements for federal and many state and local government projects without sourcing exceptions.

Eden Phillips

The V24GBA618 comes up on government and commercial AV builds specifically because of its TAA compliance — that single certification eliminates a sourcing headache on bid specs that require it, and the 18-inch receptacle spacing is wide enough to handle double-wide adapters side by side, which is rarely true of cheaper strips.

Technical Highlights:

• 18-inch Outlet Spacing: At 45.7 cm center-to-center, adjacent outlets remain usable even with oversized transformer plugs — no blocked receptacles in a fully loaded run.
• 6 ft Run: Covers a standard 72-inch equipment bay end-to-end with no splicing required, reducing potential fault points in the power distribution path.
• TAA Compliance: Satisfies Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements for GSA Schedule and federal procurement — no need to document exceptions or source alternates mid-project.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the GBA outlet configuration matches your wiring standard and receptacle type requirement before ordering — the same 6 ft length is available in alternate configurations, and swapping post-install is avoidable.
• Evidence covers only four specs; confirm amperage rating, wire gauge compatibility, and any plenum or wet-location requirements directly with the manufacturer before specifying for non-standard environments.

Best fit for government facility integrations, secure AV control rooms, and commercial security operations centers where TAA sourcing is a hard bid requirement and outlet spacing discipline matters in tight equipment bays.
