Middle Atlantic NM20GB609 Plugmold Single-Circuit Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic NM20GB609 is a 6 ft nonmetallic Plugmold multioutlet strip designed for AV equipment racks, server enclosures, and infrastructure installations where organized, evenly spaced AC power distribution is a requirement rather than an afterthought. At 6 ft (1.8 m) in total length with outlets spaced every 9 in (22.9 cm), it fits standard rack depths and furniture runs without crowding power bricks or creating cable management headaches. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward choice for federal, state, and education procurement where country-of-origin documentation is required.

Key Features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) strip length: covers a standard 19-in rack column or AV furniture run end-to-end without extension cords — keeps your installation clean and inspection-ready.
• 9-in (22.9 cm) outlet spacing: wide enough to accommodate most wall-wart and block-style AC adapters side by side without blocking adjacent outlets — a common pain point on tightly spaced strips that this format directly solves.
• Ivory color finish: matches standard AV furniture and light-colored enclosure interiors; avoids the visual mismatch of black strips in white or beige rack systems.
• Nonmetallic housing: lighter than steel alternatives and eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns in mixed-metal rack environments; suitable for permanent furniture-mount installations.
• TAA-compliant construction: satisfies Trade Agreements Act requirements for government, education, and federally funded projects — no additional country-of-origin verification needed at the procurement stage.
• Plugmold multioutlet system: part of Legrand's established Plugmold platform, meaning field-wired connections and modular add-ons integrate with existing infrastructure without proprietary adapters.

Integration and Compatibility

The NM20GB609 is a passive single-circuit power strip — it installs into any standard 15A or 20A circuit depending on the field-wired connection. It is compatible with rack power distribution infrastructure from Middle Atlantic and pairs cleanly with their raceway and cord-cover systems for finished cable management. For AV rack builds, combine with a UPS or power conditioner upstream to add surge and battery backup without changing the strip itself. Consult a rack planning guide when sizing circuit loads across multiple strips in a single enclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the NM20GB609 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The NM20GB609 is confirmed TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and federally funded procurement without additional country-of-origin documentation.

Q: What is the outlet spacing on the NM20GB609?

A: Outlets are spaced 9 inches (22.9 cm) apart along the 6 ft strip, providing room for block-style AC adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: How long is the NM20GB609 strip?

A: The strip is 6 ft (1.8 m) in total length.

Q: What color is the NM20GB609?

A: Ivory — suited for light-colored AV furniture and enclosure interiors.

Q: Can the NM20GB609 be used in a standard 19-inch equipment rack?

A: Yes. The 6 ft length and nonmetallic housing are compatible with standard rack furniture installations. Verify mounting hardware requirements for your specific enclosure.

The NM20GB609 is the kind of component that gets overlooked until someone installs a tight six-outlet strip in a furniture run full of transformer-style power supplies and half the outlets are blocked. The 9-in spacing on this strip is the spec that actually matters for day-to-day usability — it is wide enough that even chunky AV adapters sit next to each other without conflict.

Technical Highlights:

• 9-in outlet spacing: at 22.9 cm center-to-center, this is noticeably more generous than the 6-in spacing common on consumer strips — critical when you are powering a mix of line-level and signal-processing gear with block adapters.
• 6 ft total length: spans a standard furniture bay or rack column without splicing, keeping the installation single-circuit and easy to document for commissioning.
• TAA compliance: verified for the NM20GB609 — covers federal, state, education, and DoD-adjacent projects where procurement compliance is a contract requirement, not a checkbox afterthought.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a passive strip with no surge suppression or circuit monitoring — if the installation requires protection from transients or remote outlet switching, add a power conditioner or managed PDU upstream rather than substituting this strip.
• Ivory finish is purpose-matched to light enclosure interiors; if your rack system is black-faced, evaluate whether color consistency matters to the end client before ordering.

Best fit for AV integrators building out government or education furniture systems where TAA documentation is required and outlet spacing for mixed adapter types is a real constraint — not a generic office power strip application.
