Middle Atlantic NM20GB512 Nonmetallic Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM20GB512 is a 5 ft (1.5 m) nonmetallic plugmold multioutlet strip designed for structured rack and wall installations where consistent outlet placement and TAA compliance are requirements. Built under the Legrand/Middle Atlantic Middle Atlantic power distribution line, the NM20GB512 delivers evenly spaced outlet positions across its full run — a practical fit for AV equipment racks, security head-end enclosures, and enterprise infrastructure deployments that demand clean, predictable power access.

With 12-inch (30.5 cm) receptacle spacing across a 5 ft body, this strip is sized for environments where multiple devices need independent outlet positions without adapter crowding. The ivory finish integrates cleanly in light-colored raceway and surface-mount wiring systems. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward procurement option for federal, state, and education projects operating under government contracting requirements.

If you're building out a power distribution run for a security operations center, access control head end, or surveillance equipment room, the NM20GB512 slots into Legrand's NM20GB nonmetallic plugmold system — a surface-raceway ecosystem with compatible cover plates, couplings, and mounting hardware available separately.

Key Features

• 5 ft (1.5 m) Strip Length: Covers a 5-foot run without splicing or coupling — enough for a standard rack bay's horizontal power run or a short wall segment above a work surface. Reduces install complexity versus stitching together shorter sections.
• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: Outlets land every 12 inches (30.5 cm) along the strip's length. That consistent spacing prevents adapter block — each device gets its own outlet position without competing for space, which matters in dense head-end closets where power bricks are common.
• Nonmetallic Construction: The NM (nonmetallic) designation means the housing won't introduce grounding complications from incidental contact with adjacent metallic raceway or rack structure. Appropriate for surface-mount runs in mixed-material enclosures.
• Ivory Color: Matches standard ivory surface-mount raceway systems. If your raceway infrastructure is ivory-spec (common in commercial interiors and light-colored equipment rooms), the NM20GB512 installs flush with the surrounding system without requiring paint or trim work.
• TAA Compliant: Meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements — essential for deployments under GSA Schedule contracts, federal agency procurement, or education/SLED purchasing programs that require TAA-compliant bill of materials. Eliminates a common compliance audit flag on power accessories.
• Part of the NM20GB Plugmold System: Designed to integrate with Legrand's broader nonmetallic plugmold ecosystem. Compatible couplings, end fittings, and cover components are available within the same product family, allowing you to extend or terminate the run cleanly without field fabrication.

Integration and Compatibility

The NM20GB512 is a component of the Legrand NM20GB nonmetallic plugmold multioutlet system. Surface-mount plugmold installations of this type are commonly paired with compatible raceway channels, mounting straps, and device covers from the same family. For larger rack power distribution applications, consider whether a vertical PDU or rackmount power strip better fits your density and outlet-count requirements — the NM20GB512 is optimized for surface-run applications rather than vertical rack-mount configurations.

For security integrators specifying power at the field device level — powering IP cameras, access control panels, or intercom head ends from a surface-mounted strip — pair this unit with an appropriate power supply or UPS upstream to maintain runtime and surge protection for connected equipment. The NM20GB512 itself is a distribution strip; upstream protection and circuit protection must be handled at the panel or inline device level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many outlets does the NM20GB512 have?

A: The exact outlet count is not specified in the available manufacturer data for the NM20GB512. Based on the 5 ft (1.5 m) length and 12-inch (30.5 cm) receptacle spacing, the strip accommodates multiple evenly spaced outlet positions. Confirm the exact outlet count with the manufacturer specification sheet before ordering for count-critical applications.

Q: Is the NM20GB512 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The NM20GB512 is confirmed TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for federal, GSA Schedule, and SLED procurement programs that require TAA-compliant power accessories.

Q: What color is the NM20GB512?

A: The NM20GB512 is finished in ivory. This matches standard ivory surface-mount raceway systems common in commercial and light-colored equipment room installations.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the NM20GB512?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart along the 5 ft strip length. This consistent spacing is designed to prevent outlet crowding when multiple power adapters or device plugs are in use simultaneously.

Q: Is the NM20GB512 part of a larger plugmold system?

A: Yes. The NM20GB512 is part of Legrand's NM20GB nonmetallic plugmold multioutlet system. Compatible couplings, end fittings, and mounting accessories are available within the same product family for extended or terminated surface-mount runs.
