Middle Atlantic S20GB612 Aluminum Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic S20GB612 is a 6 ft (1.8 m) aluminum plugmold multioutlet strip finished in stainless steel, designed for structured rack and raceway power distribution in AV, security, and IT infrastructure environments. With receptacles spaced every 12 in (30.5 cm), it delivers evenly distributed outlet access across the full strip length — the kind of deliberate layout that matters when you're powering a row of IP cameras, encoders, or rack-mounted appliances without daisy-chaining adapters. TAA compliance means it's procurement-eligible for federal contracts and government facility deployments where domestic sourcing requirements apply.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: At 6 ft, this strip covers a standard 19-inch rack column or a wall-mounted raceway run without cutting. Long enough to reach across a full equipment bay; short enough to keep wiring tight without slack management headaches. For longer runs or deeper bays, plan your layout before ordering — this length is fixed.
• 12 in (30.5 cm) Receptacle Spacing: Outlets positioned every 12 inches give you predictable, conflict-free plug placement. Standard-size wall warts and brick-style power supplies won't block adjacent outlets — a detail that saves real time during rack buildout when every outlet position is already assigned on a power plan.
• Stainless Steel Finish: The stainless steel color holds up in visible or semi-exposed installations — utility rooms, equipment closets, or under-desk raceway runs where appearance matters alongside function. It also makes surface contamination easier to spot during maintenance walkthroughs.
• TAA Compliant: The S20GB612 satisfies Trade Agreements Act requirements, which clears it for General Services Administration (GSA) schedule procurement and federally funded projects. If your site operates under FAR/DFAR sourcing rules, this check matters before you spec any power strip into a bid.
• Aluminum Plugmold Construction: The aluminum housing keeps the strip rigid along its full 6 ft span — no sagging when mounted horizontally in a raceway channel. It also dissipates heat more effectively than plastic-bodied strips, which is a practical consideration in enclosed rack or raceway environments with continuous loads.
• Raceway and Cord Cover Integration: Designed as part of Middle Atlantic's power distribution and raceway system, the S20GB612 installs directly into compatible plugmold raceway channels. This means the outlets integrate flush into the raceway rather than sitting proud of the wall surface — cleaner installation, better cable routing, and no exposed wiring runs.

Integration & Compatibility

The S20GB612 integrates with Middle Atlantic's aluminum plugmold raceway system. It is intended for surface-mount or in-raceway installation and pairs with compatible raceway covers and mounting bases from the same product family. Before ordering, confirm the raceway channel width and cover profile match the S20GB612 body dimensions — plugmold strips are system-specific and not universally interchangeable across manufacturers. For structured rack accessory buildouts, verify outlet count and strip length against your rack unit power plan. The TAA-compliant rating makes this strip a straightforward inclusion in government and institutional facility AV and infrastructure projects where sourcing documentation is required at procurement. If your deployment requires surge suppression, circuit breaker protection, or metered PDU functionality, those features are not confirmed by the available evidence for this model — specify accordingly or consult the broader Middle Atlantic PDU line for those requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic S20GB612 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The S20GB612 is confirmed TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for GSA schedule procurement and federally funded projects subject to domestic sourcing requirements.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the S20GB612?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart along the full 6 ft length of the strip. This spacing is designed to accommodate standard power supplies without outlet conflicts.

Q: How long is the S20GB612 plugmold strip?

A: The S20GB612 is 6 ft (1.8 m) in length — suitable for standard rack column runs and wall raceway installations without requiring extension or splicing.

Q: What finish or color is the S20GB612?

A: The S20GB612 is finished in stainless steel, making it appropriate for visible or semi-exposed installations where a clean, professional appearance is expected.

Q: Does the S20GB612 include surge protection or a circuit breaker?

A: Available evidence does not confirm surge suppression or integrated circuit breaker functionality for the S20GB612. If those features are required, consult the broader Middle Atlantic power distribution line for models with confirmed protection ratings.

Q: What type of installation is the S20GB612 designed for?

A: The S20GB612 is designed for aluminum plugmold raceway systems — surface-mount or in-channel installation in rack enclosures, equipment rooms, or wall-mounted raceway runs. It is not a freestanding power strip.

The S20GB612 is one of those components that integrators stop noticing precisely because it works — a 6 ft aluminum plugmold strip with outlets every 12 inches that disappears into your raceway and stays there. I spec it specifically when a project calls for TAA-compliant power distribution in a surface-mount or in-channel raceway run, and the stainless steel finish holds up better than I'd expect in utility and telecom closet environments that see irregular cleaning cycles.

Technical Highlights:

• 12 in Receptacle Spacing: Outlets at 30.5 cm intervals give you predictable plug placement without blocking adjacent outlets — critical when you're powering a row of brick-style camera or encoder power supplies where every inch of outlet real estate is spoken for.
• 6 ft Fixed Length: At 1.8 m, the S20GB612 maps cleanly onto a standard 19-inch rack column or a single bay of wall raceway without surplus slack. This is a fixed length — plan your run before you order; there's no field-trim option on an aluminum extrusion.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed on the S20GB612, which means it clears GSA schedule and federal contract procurement without a sourcing exception. That's a paperwork burden eliminated at bid time, not at closeout.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify raceway channel compatibility before ordering — Middle Atlantic's plugmold strips are dimensioned for their own raceway system and are not drop-in replacements for competitor channels or generic surface-mount raceways.
• Surge suppression, metering, and circuit breaker protection are not confirmed for this model from available evidence. If your rack power plan calls for any of those features, spec a different unit from the Middle Atlantic PDU line rather than assuming they're included.

The S20GB612 is the right call for government facility AV rack buildouts and federal security integrations where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and you need evenly distributed outlet access across a fixed 6 ft run — not a general-purpose power strip, but exactly right for that use case.
