Middle Atlantic Plgmd W/snpcl 2 CRT 2000 - G20GBA12

Middle Atlantic G20GBA12 Plugmold Multioutlet Strip with Snapicoil

Overview

The Middle Atlantic G20GBA12 is a steel Plugmold multioutlet power strip designed for structured rack and raceway installations where outlet spacing and TAA compliance matter. Part of Middle Atlantic's power and raceway line, the G20GBA12 ships in gray and uses a GBA device configuration with receptacles spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart — giving each connected device enough physical clearance to avoid transformer-block conflicts on adjacent outlets.

TAA compliance makes the G20GBA12 suitable for federal, state, and municipal projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act. If your project has a Buy American or TAA sourcing requirement, this is the spec to verify against your procurement checklist.

Key Features

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing (30.5 cm): Outlets placed 12 inches apart prevent oversized wall-wart adapters from blocking neighboring receptacles — a practical necessity in rack environments where every outlet counts.
• GBA Device Configuration: The GBA configuration defines the outlet arrangement and is a critical ordering variable. Confirm your required configuration before purchasing — GBA is not interchangeable with other Middle Atlantic Plugmold configurations.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA-compliant, supporting procurement on federally funded or government-contract projects without sourcing exceptions. Pairs cleanly with other TAA-compliant power distribution components in a compliant rack build.
• Gray Finish: Standard gray finish integrates with typical rack and raceway aesthetics. Consistent with Middle Atlantic enclosure finishes across their product family.
• Snapicoil Integration: The Snapicoil cord management system keeps power cables organized within the raceway channel — reducing cable clutter that would otherwise complicate airflow and future serviceability in dense rack builds.

Integration & Compatibility

The G20GBA12 is part of Middle Atlantic's steel Plugmold multioutlet system. Compatibility with specific raceways, enclosures, and raceway covers should be confirmed against Middle Atlantic's current raceway system documentation, as fitting and channel dimensions vary across the product line. For full rack power planning — including circuit loading and outlet-count requirements — consult a PDU and power distribution specialist before finalizing your configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic G20GBA12 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The G20GBA12 is verified TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and federally funded projects subject to Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the G20GBA12?

A: Receptacles are spaced 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart, providing clearance for larger power adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What color is the G20GBA12?

A: The G20GBA12 is gray.

Q: What does GBA device configuration mean on the G20GBA12?

A: GBA designates the specific outlet arrangement for this Plugmold model. It is a configuration code used within Middle Atlantic's Plugmold product line — confirm this matches your required layout before ordering, as configurations are not interchangeable.

Q: Does the G20GBA12 include cord management?

A: The G20GBA12 includes the Snapicoil cord management system, which organizes power cables within the raceway channel to reduce clutter and support serviceability.

The G20GBA12's 12-inch receptacle spacing is the spec I check first when a client is loading up a raceway with mixed device types. Standard 6-inch spacing is fine for slim plugs, but the moment you introduce a handful of transformer blocks or wide-body adapters, every other outlet gets blocked — that 12-inch gap is the practical fix for that problem in dense security or AV rack builds.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Outlet Spacing: At 30.5 cm between receptacles, adjacent outlets remain accessible even with wide wall-wart or inline transformer plugs — the single most common reason integrators swap out shorter-spaced strips mid-project.
• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA-compliant status means this strip can be specified on GSA schedules, state/local government contracts, and any project with a TAA-mandated BOM without requiring a sourcing exception or country-of-origin waiver.
• GBA Configuration: Configuration code GBA defines the outlet layout. Matching the right configuration to your raceway and circuit plan upfront avoids costly mid-installation substitutions — verify this against your rack design drawings before the PO goes out.

Deployment Considerations:

• The GBA device configuration is not universal across Middle Atlantic's Plugmold line — double-check that G20GBA12 fits your specific raceway channel dimensions and that GBA's outlet arrangement aligns with your circuit load plan before ordering.
• Evidence on total outlet count, amperage rating, voltage, and cord length is not available from the manufacturer's published spec sheet for this SKU — obtain the current product drawing from Middle Atlantic directly to confirm these values before specifying in a load-managed rack.

The G20GBA12 is a natural fit for government-funded physical security or AV integration projects where TAA compliance is non-negotiable and the installation includes a mix of transformer-heavy devices that would choke a tighter-spaced strip.
