Middle Atlantic G20GB606 Aluminum Plugmold 6-Foot Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic G20GB606 is a 6-foot aluminum plugmold multi-outlet strip designed for structured rack and in-wall power distribution in commercial AV, security, and IT installations. With receptacles spaced every 6 inches along its 1.8-meter run, the G20GB606 gives integrators predictable outlet placement without the cord-management chaos that comes from standard power strips. If you're outfitting a rack room, server closet, or behind-wall equipment bay and need TAA-compliant power distribution that won't fight your cable plan, this is the strip to spec.

Key Features

• 6-Foot Length (1.8 m): Covers the full height of a standard 12U–14U rack section or runs cleanly along a wall chase — no splicing required for most single-rack deployments. Measuring 1.8 m end-to-end, it fits without overhang in most standard enclosures.
• 6-Inch Receptacle Spacing (15.2 cm): Outlets every 6 inches mean you get up to 12 evenly spaced receptacle positions across the strip's length. Consistent spacing eliminates the wall-wart conflict you get when outlets are packed together — two adjacent brick-style adapters can coexist without blocking each other.
• Gray Aluminum Construction: The gray finish blends with standard rack and raceway installations. Aluminum construction is more rigid than plastic alternatives — it won't bow under cable weight or warp in warm equipment rooms.
• TAA Compliant: The G20GB606 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal government procurement without an exception waiver. If your project has a TAA line item, this strip clears it. Pair with other TAA-compliant power distribution products to keep the full BOM clean for government bids.

Integration & Compatibility

The G20GB606 is part of Middle Atlantic's plugmold line, designed to integrate with their raceway and cord-cover systems. It installs into compatible aluminum raceway channels, making it a natural fit alongside Middle Atlantic raceway and cord-cover infrastructure. For rack deployments, pair with a dedicated rack power distribution unit at the primary feed point and use the G20GB606 for secondary or branch-circuit distribution to localized equipment clusters. The 6-inch spacing accommodates most standard NEMA plug configurations — verify wall-wart depth against your specific equipment before finalizing the layout. This strip does not include surge suppression or circuit breakers; if your installation requires those features, plan for an upstream PDU or UPS with protection built in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the G20GB606 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The G20GB606 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for government and public-sector procurement projects that require Trade Agreements Act conformance.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the G20GB606?

A: Receptacles are spaced 6 inches (15.2 cm) apart along the full 6-foot (1.8 m) length of the strip.

Q: Does the G20GB606 include surge protection?

A: No surge protection or circuit breaker is included in the G20GB606. Plan for upstream protection via a UPS or surge-suppressing PDU if your installation requires it.

Q: What color is the G20GB606?

A: The G20GB606 is gray, consistent with standard aluminum raceway and rack finishes.

Q: Can the G20GB606 be used in government installations?

A: Yes. The TAA-compliant rating makes it suitable for federal, state, and municipal installations where TAA conformance is a procurement requirement.

Jerry Tildsen

The G20GB606 comes up on almost every government-adjacent rack project I spec — the TAA compliance is the deciding factor, and the 6-inch outlet spacing at 6 feet gives you the coverage you need without doubling up strips or running extension tails. It's not a flashy component, but getting power distribution right early prevents the re-work I've seen when integrators grab a generic strip at the last minute.

Technical Highlights:

• 6-Inch Spacing: At 15.2 cm between receptacles, two standard wall adapters side by side won't block each other — a real constraint in dense equipment bays that generic strips with 4-inch spacing routinely violate.
• 1.8-Meter Run: Covers a full 6-foot rack section in a single piece. No mid-run joins, no cable tails connecting two shorter strips — cleaner install and easier inspection.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed for this SKU, so it goes straight onto the BOM for federal and state government projects without triggering a procurement exception review.

Deployment Considerations:

• The G20GB606 is a passive strip — no surge suppression, no breaker. Always feed it from a protected upstream source (UPS or PDU with built-in protection) in any critical equipment installation.
• Verify wall-wart body depth against the 6-inch spacing before committing — oversized adapters on adjacent outlets can still physically conflict even at 6-inch centers depending on plug orientation.

Best fit for government facility AV and security rack buildouts where TAA compliance is mandatory and the project calls for clean, raceway-integrated power distribution rather than a consumer-grade strip.
