Middle Atlantic NM24GB412 Non-Metallic Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM24GB412 is a 4-foot non-metallic Plugmold multioutlet strip designed for structured power distribution in AV racks, security enclosures, and low-voltage installation environments. The NM24GB412 is part of Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic power and raceway product line and is built for integrators who need consistent, evenly spaced receptacle placement without resorting to consumer-grade power strips. TAA compliance means it qualifies for government, federal, and institutional procurement where country-of-origin sourcing rules apply — a meaningful distinction when specifying for public-sector or defense-adjacent projects.

This is a surface-mount multioutlet system intended for wall, baseboard, or raceway runs where multiple devices need power at predictable intervals. If you are spec'ing power distribution for a camera head-end room, guard station, or access control cabinet and need clean, code-appropriate outlet placement, this product fits that application profile directly.

Key Features

• 4-Foot Length (1.2 m): A practical run length for a single equipment rack bay, workstation, or wall segment — long enough to cover a typical 19-inch rack side wall or a short baseboard run without requiring a splice or extension. Not a full-room solution, but correctly sized for localized device clusters.
• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing (30.5 cm): Outlets at one-foot intervals give enough clearance for most standard AC adapters and wall-wart-style power supplies without blocking adjacent receptacles. Tighter spacing (6 inches) works for small plugs; 12 inches is the right call when you are mixing transformer-style bricks with standard plugs in the same run.
• GB Device Configuration: The GB designation indicates a grounded duplex receptacle layout — the standard configuration for general-purpose AC power in North American commercial installations. Each position accepts a standard NEMA 5-15 plug, which covers the vast majority of security, AV, and IT peripheral power supplies.
• TAA Compliant: The NM24GB412 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for GSA schedules, federal agency purchases, and state/local government contracts that require TAA-compliant sourcing. If your project has a Buy American or TAA clause, this is confirmed compliant — document it in your submittal package.
• Non-Metallic Construction: The NM (non-metallic) designation means the raceway body is plastic rather than steel. This eliminates grounding-strap requirements for the raceway body itself and reduces installation complexity in finished-space environments like lobbies, reception desks, and above-ceiling closets where metal raceway would be over-specified.
• Surface-Mount Form Factor: Designed to mount flush against a wall, baseboard, or interior surface — no conduit knockout or panel cutout required. Pairs naturally with cable management accessories and surface raceway systems for a finished, code-compliant appearance in occupied spaces.

Integration and Compatibility

The NM24GB412 is a passive power distribution component — it connects upstream to a standard 15A or 20A branch circuit (verify the feed circuit ampacity against the total connected load before installation) and provides grounded NEMA 5-15R receptacles at 12-inch intervals along its 4-foot body. No communication interface, no surge suppression, no UPS function is implied by the evidence — if those features are required, specify them separately upstream or in a dedicated UPS or surge protection device.

This product integrates with Middle Atlantic's broader Plugmold surface raceway ecosystem, allowing extensions and fittings to be combined for longer runs or corner transitions. Confirm fitting and end-cap compatibility within the NM24 series before ordering extensions if your run exceeds 4 feet.

For rack-mounted power distribution with metered or switched outlets, consider a dedicated rack PDU instead — the NM24GB412 is optimized for surface-mount, non-rack applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NM24GB412 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The NM24GB412 is confirmed TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for federal, GSA, and government-contract procurement where country-of-origin sourcing requirements apply.

Q: What outlet type does the NM24GB412 use?

A: The GB device configuration provides grounded duplex receptacles — standard NEMA 5-15R outlets for North American 15A general-purpose AC power. Each outlet position accepts a standard two- or three-prong plug.

Q: How many outlets does the NM24GB412 have?

A: The NM24GB412 is 4 feet long with outlets spaced at 12-inch intervals, which yields outlets at 4 positions (at 0, 12, 24, and 36 inches). Confirm the exact count with the manufacturer's product documentation if a precise outlet count is critical to your submittal.

Q: Can the NM24GB412 be used in government or institutional projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, so it can be specified on GSA schedule purchases, federal agency projects, and state/local government contracts with TAA sourcing clauses.

Q: Does the NM24GB412 include surge protection?

A: No surge suppression is indicated in the product specifications. This is a passive multioutlet strip. If surge protection is required, specify it separately via an upstream surge protective device or a UPS with built-in surge suppression.

Karl Wilson

The NM24GB412's 12-inch outlet spacing is the detail I always check first on a plugmold spec — it determines whether you can actually use every receptacle once your power supplies are plugged in. At 12 inches, you have room to land a typical wall-wart adapter at every position without blocking the neighbor. That is not guaranteed at 6-inch spacing, where a single wide transformer brick can eat two positions.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: One-foot intervals between outlets accommodate standard and oversized AC adapters side by side — critical in security and AV head-end environments where transformer-style power bricks are the norm, not the exception.
• 4-Foot Run Length: Sized for a single rack bay or a short wall segment — deploy one unit per equipment cluster rather than running a single long strip that creates a daisy-chain temptation.
• TAA Compliance: Confirmed for the NM24GB412 SKU — include the TAA designation in your submittal package for any government or institutional project; it will be asked for during procurement review.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your branch circuit ampacity before loading this strip — the NM24GB412 is a passive distribution device with no built-in overcurrent protection beyond what the upstream breaker provides. Total connected load must stay within the branch circuit rating.
• This product carries no indicated surge suppression or filtering. In environments with noisy power (generator-backed circuits, shared HVAC branch circuits), install an upstream surge protective device — do not rely on the strip alone to protect sensitive security or AV equipment.

The NM24GB412 is the right call for a finished-space security or AV installation — a guard station, reception desk, or access control head-end — where you need clean, evenly spaced outlet placement in a non-metallic raceway body that won't require a grounding strap and will pass a government TAA sourcing audit without a second look.
