Middle Atlantic Plgmd W/snpcl SGL CRT 200 - V20GB30

Middle Atlantic V20GB30 Plugmold Snapicoil Single-Circuit Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic V20GB30 is a steel Plugmold multioutlet strip with Snapicoil wiring, designed for rack enclosures, AV equipment rooms, and security infrastructure installations where organized, surface-mounted power distribution matters. The V20GB30 ships in ivory and carries TAA compliance, making it a straightforward fit for government and public-sector facilities with country-of-origin procurement requirements. For broader context, explore the Middle Atlantic product line to see how this unit fits within their power and enclosure ecosystem.

Key Features

• 30-Inch Receptacle Spacing: At 30 in (76.2 cm) between outlets, the V20GB30 eliminates the wall-wart conflict that plagues tighter strips — bulky transformer blocks on adjacent receptacles don't physically compete for space. This spacing is particularly practical in rack side-panels or equipment rooms where adapters are the norm.
• Snapicoil Wiring System: The Snapicoil design simplifies field installation — internal wiring snaps into place without requiring custom termination at every outlet position, reducing labor time during rack build-out on rack and enclosure projects.
• GB Device Configuration: The GB configuration designates the outlet/receptacle type, ensuring the correct plug compatibility for the target installation environment. Verify your load devices match the GB receptacle format before ordering.
• TAA Compliant: TAA compliance means the V20GB30 meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements — a non-negotiable for GSA schedules, federal contracts, and many state and local government bids. If your project has a Buy American or TAA clause, this unit checks that box. See other TAA-compliant infrastructure products for complementary items.
• Ivory Finish: The ivory color blends with standard wall and rack finishes common in office, education, and light commercial environments — less visually obtrusive than black or grey alternatives in customer-facing or shared spaces.
• Steel Construction: The steel housing provides durability appropriate for permanent rack and wall installations, resisting the flex and cracking that can occur with plastic housings under continuous load in enclosed equipment spaces.

Integration & Compatibility

The V20GB30 is intended for surface-mount or rack-panel installation within Middle Atlantic enclosures and compatible third-party racks. Pair it with appropriate power distribution planning for your rack — confirm the total amperage draw of connected devices stays within the circuit rating. The Snapicoil system is specific to the Middle Atlantic Plugmold family; replacement components should come from the same product line to maintain proper fit and electrical integrity. This unit does not include surge suppression or filtering — if your equipment requires conditioned power, specify an appropriate power conditioner upstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic V20GB30 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The V20GB30 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for use on GSA schedule purchases and federal or government contracts with Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What does the 30-inch receptacle spacing mean for my installation?

A: The 30 in (76.2 cm) spacing between receptacles means large wall-wart adapters on adjacent outlets will not physically block neighboring receptacles — a practical advantage in equipment rooms and rack enclosures where transformer-style power supplies are common.

Q: What is the GB device configuration on the V20GB30?

A: GB refers to the receptacle/outlet type designation for this unit. Confirm that your connected devices use plugs compatible with the GB configuration before ordering.

Q: Does the V20GB30 include surge protection?

A: No. Based on available evidence, the V20GB30 is a straight multioutlet power strip without built-in surge suppression or filtering. For sensitive equipment, install an appropriate upstream power conditioner or surge protector.

Q: What color is the V20GB30?

A: The V20GB30 ships in ivory, which blends with standard wall and light-colored rack finishes in office, education, and commercial environments.

James Everett

The V20GB30's 30-inch receptacle spacing is the spec that gets overlooked until you're mid-rack-build with a row of transformer-style power bricks fighting for outlet real estate. I've seen integrators spec tighter strips to save cost, then spend double the saved amount in re-work when nothing fits. The V20GB30 solves that before it starts.

Technical Highlights:

• 30 in Receptacle Spacing: At 76.2 cm between outlets, adjacent wall-wart adapters coexist without interference — the single most common source of field frustration on dense equipment installations.
• TAA Compliance: Government and institutional integrators can specify the V20GB30 without triggering procurement review — TAA compliance is verified for this model, not assumed.
• Snapicoil Design: The snap-in wiring system reduces termination labor during rack build-out, which matters when you're commissioning a multi-rack room under deadline.

Deployment Considerations:

• The GB device configuration must match your connected equipment's plug type — verify compatibility before the unit ships to the job site, not after.
• No surge suppression is present in this unit. In any rack housing sensitive network or recording equipment, budget for an upstream conditioner — the V20GB30 handles distribution, not protection.

This unit fits cleanest in government-bid rack builds and institutional AV/security rooms where TAA compliance is mandatory and outlet spacing discipline prevents field re-work.
