Middle Atlantic Plgmd SGL Crct 12IN. OC 6 - NM20GB612

Middle Atlantic NM20GB612 Non-Metallic Plugmold Multioutlet Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM20GB612 is a non-metallic Plugmold multioutlet system designed for structured power distribution in rack enclosures, AV infrastructure bays, and low-voltage installation environments. At 6 ft (1.8 m) in length with receptacles spaced every 12 in (30.5 cm), it provides predictable outlet placement without the cord-bundling compromises that come from clustering all outlets at one end of a run. TAA compliance makes it a viable choice for government and public-sector deployments subject to federal procurement requirements.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) Length: Covers a full standard equipment rack bay without extension cords or adapters — clean, contained power delivery from top to bottom of the enclosure.
• 12 in (30.5 cm) Receptacle Spacing: Outlets every foot along the strip means you can reach each device with a short, tidy power lead rather than routing long cords across the rack. This spacing suits mixed rack loadouts where equipment heights vary between 1U and 4U.
• Non-Metallic Construction: Ivory non-metallic housing keeps weight down and avoids the grounding complexities that come with metallic strips in sensitive signal environments — a practical consideration in AV and access control head-end closets where RF interference is a concern.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, qualifying the NM20GB612 for federal government, GSA schedule, and public-sector procurement programs without additional documentation burden.
• Ivory Finish: Matches standard off-white raceway and conduit systems — integrates cleanly into commercial structured wiring installations without requiring paint or custom finishing.

Integration and Compatibility

The NM20GB612 is part of Middle Atlantic's NM20GB non-metallic Plugmold multioutlet family, designed for surface-mounted or enclosure-routed power distribution. The 12-in spacing variant suits environments where you need outlet access spread across the full run — contrast with closer-spaced variants in the same family if your loadout concentrates devices in a shorter zone. For network switch and NVR deployments in security rack builds, pair with a dedicated UPS or battery backup upstream to protect connected equipment from transient power events. Confirm outlet count and circuit amperage requirements against your installation load before specifying — amperage and outlet count are not documented in available evidence for this SKU and should be verified against the full Middle Atlantic datasheet prior to procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NM20GB612 TAA compliant for federal procurement?

A: Yes. The NM20GB612 is confirmed TAA compliant, qualifying it for use on GSA schedule contracts and federal government projects subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the NM20GB612?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 in (30.5 cm) apart along the full 6 ft (1.8 m) length of the strip.

Q: What color is the NM20GB612 housing?

A: The housing is ivory — consistent with standard non-metallic raceway and commercial cable management finishes.

Q: Can the NM20GB612 be used in a rack enclosure?

A: The NM20GB612 is designed for surface-mounted or enclosure-installed power distribution runs. Verify mounting compatibility with your specific rack model against Middle Atlantic's full product documentation before installation.

Q: Does the NM20GB612 qualify for government projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance is confirmed for this SKU, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal projects with Buy American or TAA procurement requirements.

The NM20GB612 does one thing well: it gives you a clean, evenly distributed power run across a 6 ft zone with outlets every 12 inches — no clustering, no cord gymnastics. In a head-end rack with mixed 1U and 2U equipment, that spacing is the difference between a tidy install and a nest of extension cords.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-in Outlet Spacing: At 30.5 cm between receptacles, every device in a standard rack bay can be reached with a short power lead — eliminates the daisy-chained power strips that fail fire inspection in commercial builds.
• 6 ft Run Length: Covers a full 42U rack height in a single continuous strip — no splice points, no handoff connectors, continuous coverage from top rail to bottom.
• TAA Compliance: Government integrators can specify the NM20GB612 on federally funded projects without sourcing exceptions or country-of-origin waivers — the compliance designation is confirmed on this SKU.

Deployment Considerations:

• Amperage rating and total outlet count are not published in available evidence for this SKU — confirm circuit capacity against your full rack load calculation before procurement, especially in dense video surveillance or access control head-end builds.
• Ivory finish is correct for surface raceway and open-rack commercial installs but may contrast visibly against black rack enclosures — specify accordingly if aesthetics matter on a customer-facing installation.

Best fit for government-funded security head-end racks, structured wiring closets, and commercial AV bays where TAA compliance is required and a clean distributed power run across a full rack height is the goal.
