Middle Atlantic V20GB609 6-Foot Plugmold Multi-Outlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V20GB609 is a 6-foot (1.8 m) aluminum Plugmold multi-outlet strip finished in ivory, designed for structured AV and security rack environments where consistent outlet spacing and TAA compliance matter. With receptacles set 9 inches (22.9 cm) apart on-center, the V20GB609 gives integrators predictable, conflict-free plug placement — no fighting for outlet positions when adjacent power bricks or IEC cord heads are competing for space.

TAA compliance makes the V20GB609 a straightforward choice on government and federally funded projects where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is a contract requirement — no workarounds, no substitutions needed. The ivory finish suits light-colored furniture and AV credenzas where a white or almond profile blends cleanly, and is a common specification on university, corporate, and hospitality installs.

This type of rack and cabinet power strip sits at the foundation of any well-organized equipment bay: outlets that are too close together force adapters and extension cords; outlets too far apart waste raceway length. The 9-inch spacing on this unit hits a practical middle ground for standard-depth AV and security equipment.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) overall length: Long enough to span most standard AV furniture and equipment credenzas without a junction or extension — keeps wiring clean inside the enclosure and reduces strain on in-wall circuit runs.
• 9-inch (22.9 cm) receptacle spacing: Outlets set 9 inches on-center mean standard-size power adapters and IEC plugs seat without overlapping neighboring receptacles. If you have ever had a wall-wart block three outlets at once, this spacing is the engineering answer to that problem.
• Ivory finish: Matches light-colored AV furniture interiors and credenza shells used in corporate boardrooms, classrooms, and hospitality installs — eliminates the visual mismatch of a black strip inside a white enclosure.
• TAA compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements, making the V20GB609 suitable for federal government contracts, GSA schedules, and publicly funded institutional projects without additional procurement paperwork.
• Aluminum Plugmold construction: The Plugmold platform is a field-proven format for structured wiring environments — aluminum housing provides durability in rack and cabinet applications while remaining lightweight relative to steel raceways.

Integration & Compatibility

The V20GB609 is compatible with Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure systems and AV furniture product lines where Plugmold strips are specified as built-in power distribution. It is equally applicable as a standalone surface-mounted strip in security head-end rooms, rack furniture interiors, and equipment credenzas. For complete power distribution planning in a security or AV rack build — including surge protection, UPS integration, and PDU selection — consult a rack power management guide to pair this strip with appropriate upstream protection.

Because the V20GB609 uses the standard Plugmold form factor, it is compatible with Legrand/Wiremold surface raceway accessories, end fittings, and box extensions — useful when the strip needs to be field-extended or integrated into an existing Plugmold run. Verify local electrical code requirements for surface-mount wiring before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic V20GB609 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V20GB609 is TAA compliant, making it suitable for federal government contracts and publicly funded institutional projects that require Trade Agreements Act sourcing.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the V20GB609?

A: Receptacles are spaced 9 inches (22.9 cm) on-center, providing enough room for standard-size power adapters and IEC plugs to seat without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What is the overall length of the V20GB609?

A: The strip is 6 feet (1.8 m) long — suitable for spanning AV furniture interiors and equipment credenzas without requiring an extension.

Q: What color is the V20GB609?

A: Ivory. This finish is commonly specified for light-colored AV furniture, corporate credenzas, and hospitality installations where a black strip would stand out.

Q: Can the V20GB609 be used in a government or GSA-schedule project?

A: Yes. The V20GB609 carries TAA compliance, which satisfies the sourcing requirements typical of GSA schedule purchases and federally funded projects.

The V20GB609 is one of those products that does not get noticed when it is specified correctly and causes real headaches when it is not. The 9-inch on-center receptacle spacing is the detail that matters most here — at that spacing, a standard-depth transformer plug or a molded IEC cord head clears its neighbor without forcing an adapter or leaving an outlet permanently blocked. I have seen integrators spec shorter spacing strips in AV furniture and then spend field hours cable-managing around the plug collisions they created.

Technical Highlights:

• 9-inch receptacle spacing (22.9 cm on-center): Eliminates the outlet-blocking that happens with 6-inch-spaced strips when equipment power supplies are side by side. Measurable difference in usable outlet count on a fully loaded credenza.
• 6-foot run (1.8 m): Covers a standard 72-inch AV credenza or equipment bay in a single strip — no mid-run junction, no split circuits sharing one breaker leg unless intentionally designed that way.
• TAA compliance: Verified for this SKU, so the V20GB609 drops cleanly into a federal or state contract bill of materials without requiring a sourcing exception or product substitution.

Deployment Considerations:

• The ivory finish is the right call for white or almond AV furniture interiors — but if your enclosure is black (common in rack rooms and server closets), confirm color availability in the product family before finalizing the spec.
• This strip provides outlet distribution only — no surge suppression, no UPS, no circuit protection beyond what your upstream breaker provides. Pair it with an appropriate PDU or UPS if the connected equipment requires it.

The V20GB609 is the right specification for corporate AV furniture installs and government credenza builds where TAA sourcing is a hard requirement and outlet spacing discipline is the difference between a clean installation and one that needs revisiting at punch-list.
