Middle Atlantic S20GB606 6-Foot Aluminum Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic S20GB606 is a 6-foot aluminum plugmold multi-outlet strip built for AV rack enclosures, server rooms, and commercial infrastructure installations where clean, spaced power distribution matters. At 6-inch receptacle spacing across a 1.8-meter run, it delivers organized, accessible outlet positions without crowding plugs or blocking adjacent ports. The stainless steel finish holds up in equipment-dense environments and matches standard rack hardware aesthetics. If you're specifying power distribution for a Middle Atlantic rack system or integrating into a broader AV infrastructure build, the S20GB606 is a practical strip that covers the basics without unnecessary overhead.

TAA compliance means this strip is eligible for federal, state, and municipal procurement where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is a contract requirement — a detail worth confirming early if you're bidding government or education work.

Key Features

• 6-Foot (1.8 m) Length: Spans most standard rack power distribution runs without extension cords or secondary strips. Enough reach to serve a full mid-size rack column from a single mounted position at the rear rail.
• 6-Inch (15.2 cm) Receptacle Spacing: Outlets placed every 6 inches prevent transformer blocks and bulky power adapters from competing for the same outlet cluster. In rack builds with a mix of switchers, processors, and amplifiers, this spacing means every plug lands clean — no blocking, no doubling up on power strips.
• Stainless Steel / Aluminum Construction: The aluminum body and stainless steel finish are durable in rack enclosures and equipment rooms where plastic strips degrade over time from heat and cable stress. The finish also resists corrosion in facilities with HVAC moisture variation.
• TAA Compliant: Sourced to meet Trade Agreements Act requirements. Required for federal contracts, GSA schedules, and many public-sector procurement vehicles. If your project has TAA language in the specs sheet, the S20GB606 checks that box.

Integration & Compatibility

The S20GB606 is designed to integrate with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and is consistent with the broader Legrand AV plugmold family. The aluminum plugmold multi-outlet format is a standard in AV and security rack builds — it mounts along the vertical rear channel or horizontal rear rail depending on enclosure configuration. Verify your rack's internal dimensions and rear-channel depth before ordering to confirm the 6-foot run fits your specific enclosure layout without forcing a bend at either terminus.

This strip is appropriate for use in rack power and accessory applications including AV control rooms, security operations centers, network closets, and structured cabling environments. It does not include surge protection or circuit breakers — if your installation requires those features, specify a managed PDU or a protected strip variant from the Middle Atlantic line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic S20GB606 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The S20GB606 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal contracts that require Trade Agreements Act sourcing.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the S20GB606?

A: Receptacles are spaced 6 inches (15.2 cm) apart along the 6-foot strip length, allowing bulky power adapters and transformer blocks to seat without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What is the length of the S20GB606?

A: The S20GB606 is 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.

Q: What finish does the S20GB606 come in?

A: The S20GB606 is finished in stainless steel.

Q: Does the S20GB606 include surge protection?

A: Based on available specifications, the S20GB606 is a plugmold multi-outlet strip without documented surge protection or circuit breaker features. If your installation requires surge suppression, specify a protected PDU variant.

Q: What type of rack or enclosure is the S20GB606 designed for?

A: The S20GB606 is designed for use in AV rack enclosures and equipment rooms consistent with the Middle Atlantic / Legrand AV rack ecosystem. Verify internal rack depth and rear-channel clearance before installation.

The S20GB606 comes up in nearly every AV rack build where the customer wants clean power distribution without a managed PDU price tag. The 6-inch receptacle spacing is the spec that matters most here — it's the difference between a rack that closes cleanly and one where you're stacking power bricks two-deep because the outlets are 2 or 3 inches apart and a Cisco brick is eating three positions.

Technical Highlights:

• 6-Inch Outlet Spacing: At 15.2 cm between receptacles, standard transformer blocks seat without overlap. On a 6-foot run you get a predictable outlet count that works for most mid-size AV and security racks without requiring a second strip.
• TAA Compliance: Government and education integrators frequently encounter TAA language in solicitations — this strip satisfies that requirement at a straightforward price point, which matters when you're speccing 10–20 racks for a municipal operations center or district technology refresh.
• Aluminum / Stainless Steel Build: Plastic outlet strips degrade in warm rack environments and fail inspection on many commercial and government projects. The aluminum body here holds up to continuous duty in enclosed racks.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your enclosure's rear-channel clearance before mounting — a 6-foot strip in a shallow rack can force an awkward termination at the top or bottom rail if the internal depth is constrained.
• This strip has no documented surge protection or overcurrent protection. On installations where equipment is at risk from line transients — especially older facilities with variable power quality — specify a protected PDU or upstream suppression rather than relying on this strip alone.

The S20GB606 is a practical fit for security operations centers, municipal AV control rooms, and education rack builds where TAA sourcing is a hard contract requirement and clean outlet spacing is the primary field concern.
