Middle Atlantic Plgmd 6FT.2 CRT 9IN. OC - V20GBA609

Middle Atlantic V20GBA609 Steel Plugmold 6 ft Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V20GBA609 is a 6-foot steel Plugmold multioutlet strip designed for structured rack and raceway deployments where clean, distributed AC power is a practical requirement rather than an afterthought. At 6 ft (1.8 m) in total length with receptacles spaced every 9 inches (22.9 cm), the V20GBA609 gives integrators predictable, evenly distributed outlet positions along the full run — a real advantage when wiring security panels, network devices, or AV equipment in a shared enclosure or wall-mount scenario. Ivory finish is the specified color, consistent with Legrand's steel Plugmold line for commercial interior installations.

TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, which matters in federal, state, and municipal contracts where the Trade Agreements Act requires products manufactured in TAA-designated countries. If your project involves government facilities, education, or any procurement tied to GSA schedules, the V20GBA609 checks that box without requiring a waiver or separate documentation effort.

This strip is part of Middle Atlantic's broader Middle Atlantic power and infrastructure catalog, a line that integrators reach for when they need commercial-grade power distribution that fits inside standard raceway profiles without improvised solutions.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) run length: Long enough to span the full height of a mid-size equipment rack or cover a standard wall section without extension cord workarounds. At 6 ft, you get meaningful horizontal or vertical coverage in a single strip — no daisy-chaining required for typical security cabinet deployments.
• 9-inch (22.9 cm) receptacle spacing: Wider spacing than the typical 6-inch strips means bulky transformer bricks or right-angle plugs are far less likely to block adjacent outlets. If you've ever had to sacrifice two outlets because a wall-wart ate the neighboring space, 9-inch spacing directly addresses that. Plan on roughly 7 usable outlet positions across the 6 ft run at this spacing.
• Steel Plugmold construction: Steel housing offers better rigidity than plastic multioutlet strips and is appropriate for commercial installations where the strip is surface-mounted in a finished interior. The steel body also supports the raceway's role as a mechanical cable management channel alongside the power function.
• Ivory color finish: Matches standard commercial interior trim colors and blends with wall surfaces in office, retail, or institutional environments. Relevant when the strip is surface-mounted in a finished space where aesthetics factor into the installation approval.
• TAA compliant: Verified TAA compliance on the V20GBA609 means this unit can be specified on government and federally funded projects without triggering a Buy American or TAA waiver request. Useful for integrators bidding on GSA, DoD facility, or education contracts.
• Legrand/Middle Atlantic ecosystem: As part of the power distribution raceway product family, the V20GBA609 pairs with compatible Plugmold covers, connectors, and raceway fittings for a finished, code-compliant surface wiring system. Components are designed to fit together without custom fabrication.

Integration and Compatibility

The V20GBA609 is a surface-mount multioutlet strip intended for raceway system integration. It works within the Legrand Plugmold steel raceway ecosystem, accepting standard Plugmold covers and fittings that allow a complete surface wiring assembly. In security and AV rack installations, this strip is typically mounted inside an enclosure base channel or along the rear rail of a wall-mount cabinet to distribute AC power to multiple low-draw devices — switches, injectors, smaller NVRs, or control modules.

For integrators building out network switch or access control enclosures, the 9-inch outlet spacing accommodates most standard IEC and NEMA plug configurations without the outlet-blocking problem common to tightly spaced strips. Pair with appropriate Plugmold raceway covers for a finished installation where the power strip is exposed along a wall surface rather than concealed inside a closed rack.

TAA compliance makes this unit straightforward to specify in systems integrated alongside other TAA-verified components — relevant when assembling a compliant bill of materials for government or institutional projects. Consult your project's specific procurement requirements to confirm TAA sufficiency for your contract vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the V20GBA609 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V20GBA609 is confirmed TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on government contracts, GSA schedule purchases, and other federally funded projects that require Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Q: How many outlets does the V20GBA609 have?

A: The manufacturer's specification confirms 9-inch (22.9 cm) receptacle spacing across a 6 ft (1.8 m) run. The exact outlet count is not stated in the available specification data — contact pre-sales for confirmation if the precise count is critical to your design.

Q: What color is the V20GBA609?

A: Ivory. This matches standard commercial interior trim and is appropriate for surface-mount installations in finished office, retail, or institutional spaces.

Q: Can the V20GBA609 be used in a rack enclosure?

A: The V20GBA609 is a Plugmold surface-mount strip designed for raceway integration. It can be mounted inside rack enclosure bases or along rear channels where the strip profile fits. Verify clearance against your specific enclosure dimensions before ordering.

Q: What is the total length of the V20GBA609?

A: 6 ft (1.8 m).

Q: Is the V20GBA609 compatible with other Legrand Plugmold components?

A: Yes. The V20GBA609 is part of the Legrand steel Plugmold multioutlet system and is designed to work with compatible Plugmold raceway covers, fittings, and connectors within that product family.

The detail I always flag on the V20GBA609 is the 9-inch receptacle spacing — that single spec separates this strip from the crowded field of 6-inch-spaced alternatives that look fine on paper until you plug in your first wall-wart transformer and lose two adjacent outlets. On a 6 ft run, that extra 3 inches per position makes a meaningful practical difference for integrators wiring multi-device security or AV enclosures.

Technical Highlights:

• 9-inch outlet spacing: At 22.9 cm center-to-center, oversized plug blocks and right-angle adapters fit without crowding adjacent positions — a direct reduction in field workarounds on dense enclosure builds.
• 6 ft (1.8 m) run: Covers the vertical interior of most mid-size security cabinets or a standard wall bay in a single strip, eliminating the need for multiple shorter strips or extension cords to reach devices at the top and bottom of the run.
• TAA compliance: Confirmed on this SKU — straightforward to include on a TAA-compliant BOM for government, education, or municipally funded integration projects without separate waiver documentation.

Deployment Considerations:

• The V20GBA609 is a surface-mount raceway strip, not a rack-unit PDU. Confirm your enclosure's internal channel dimensions accept the Plugmold steel body profile before committing to a large order on a new cabinet model.
• Outlet count is derivable from the 9-inch spacing over 6 ft but is not explicitly stated in the manufacturer specification for this SKU — verify with the manufacturer or a pre-sales contact if your design requires a confirmed minimum outlet count.

The V20GBA609 is the right specification call for surface-mount commercial interior installations — particularly government facility or institutional security builds where TAA compliance is a contract requirement and clean, evenly spaced power distribution along a wall raceway is the preferred approach over rack-mounted PDUs.
