Middle Atlantic G20GB12 Steel Plugmold Multioutlet Strip with Snapicoil

Overview

The Middle Atlantic G20GB12 is a steel Plugmold multioutlet system with Snapicoil cord management, built for structured rack and raceway installations where consistent receptacle placement and clean cable routing matter. The GB device configuration delivers a grounding-blade outlet layout, and the 12-inch receptacle spacing — 30.5 cm center-to-center — gives you enough clearance to plug in standard adapters without blocking adjacent outlets. If you're specifying Middle Atlantic power distribution for a rack or wall-mount application, this strip fits cleanly into that ecosystem.

Key Features

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing (30.5 cm): Wide spacing means standard wall-wart adapters and right-angle plugs won't crowd neighboring receptacles — a persistent problem on strips with 6-inch spacing. Useful in AV racks, security equipment enclosures, and IT closets where mixed plug profiles are the norm.
• GB Device Configuration: Grounding-blade outlet layout matches standard North American equipment power requirements across power distribution applications, from NVRs and access control panels to network switches and intercom head-ends.
• Steel Construction with Snapicoil: The steel housing resists the physical abuse of rack environments — no flex, no creak under load. The integrated Snapicoil cord management keeps power cords routed and strain-relieved, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection during service.
• TAA Compliant: The G20GB12 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it a valid option for federal, state, and municipal projects where TAA compliance is a procurement requirement. Verify with your contracting officer for specific program applicability.
• Gray Finish: Matches standard rack and enclosure color conventions — blends into Middle Atlantic rack systems and most third-party enclosures without standing out visually during audits or client walkthroughs.

Integration and Compatibility

The G20GB12 is designed as part of the Middle Atlantic Plugmold steel multioutlet system family. The Snapicoil cord management system is purpose-built for this line. Use it alongside rack accessories such as vertical cable managers and blanking panels to complete a clean, serviceable rack build. Compatible with standard North American 120V circuits; confirm your circuit capacity against total connected load before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic G20GB12 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The G20GB12 is confirmed TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on qualifying government and federal procurement contracts.

Q: What is the receptacle spacing on the G20GB12?

A: The G20GB12 has 12-inch (30.5 cm) center-to-center receptacle spacing, which provides clearance for wide or right-angle plugs without blocking adjacent outlets.

Q: What color is the G20GB12?

A: Gray, consistent with standard rack and enclosure color conventions.

Q: What does the GB device configuration mean on the G20GB12?

A: GB refers to the grounding-blade outlet configuration, which is the standard North American three-prong grounded outlet layout used across most commercial and enterprise equipment.

Q: Does the G20GB12 include cord management?

A: Yes. The G20GB12 includes the Snapicoil cord management system integrated into the steel housing for strain relief and organized cable routing.

The G20GB12's 12-inch receptacle spacing is the detail that earns its place in a well-planned rack. I've seen plenty of installs where a 6-inch-spacing strip turns into a game of plug Tetris the moment someone adds a transformer-style power supply — the G20GB12 sidesteps that entirely, and the steel Snapicoil housing keeps cords from migrating into airflow paths during the service calls that follow.

Technical Highlights:

• 12-Inch Receptacle Spacing: 30.5 cm center-to-center gives full clearance for side-by-side wide-body plugs — no blocked outlets, no daisy-chained extension cords to compensate.
• TAA Compliance: Procurement-ready for federal, state, and municipal projects without an additional compliance review step on this line item.
• Steel Housing with Snapicoil: Rigid construction prevents the flex and rack-rattle common in plastic strips; integrated cord management reduces accidental cable pull-out during adjacent equipment service.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm total connected load against your circuit breaker rating before installation — the spec sheet does not publish a maximum amperage for this strip, so size your circuit based on the actual equipment you're powering.
• The GB configuration is North American standard (120V grounded); this strip is not rated for international or 240V applications without separate verification.

Best fit for government and municipal security rack builds where TAA compliance is a hard requirement and clean cable management is expected during inspector walkthroughs — the wide spacing and steel Snapicoil construction handle both in a single SKU.
