Middle Atlantic Rackmount 19IN Black W/3 - J06B0B20

Middle Atlantic J06B0B20 Rack-Mount 120V 20A Power Strip with Lighted Switch

Overview

The Middle Atlantic J06B0B20 is a 19-inch rackmount power strip rated at 120V/20A — the right baseline unit for AV equipment racks, security head-end enclosures, and server closets where a reliable switched power point is more useful than an unmanaged tap strip. The 6 ft (1.8 m) cord gives you enough reach to route cleanly to a dedicated 20A circuit without an extension, and the lighted switch provides a clear visual confirmation of energized state — useful in low-light rack environments. TAA compliance makes this unit straightforward to specify on government and federally funded projects without additional review. For integrators building out Middle Atlantic rack systems or specifying power distribution for a broader rack PDU deployment, the J06B0B20 fits the standard 19-inch form factor.

Key Features

• 20A Circuit Rating: handles the full load of a populated AV or security rack on a single 20A branch circuit — no derating surprises when the rack fills up.
• 6 ft (1.8 m) Cord: long enough to reach a dedicated 20A receptacle in most rack installations without a separate extension run, keeping the install clean and code-compliant.
• Lighted Switch: the illuminated rocker gives you an at-a-glance energized indicator in dim equipment rooms — no need to trace cables to confirm power state.
• 19-Inch Rackmount Form Factor: drops into any standard 19-inch rack enclosure without adapters, consistent with the rest of the Middle Atlantic product line.
• TAA Compliant: meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, simplifying procurement on GSA schedules and government-funded integrations without secondary compliance review. This is a verified attribute for the J06B0B20 SKU.

Integration & Compatibility

The J06B0B20 is designed for standard 19-inch rack deployment alongside Middle Atlantic enclosures, rack drawers, and cable management accessories. The 20A rating pairs appropriately with dedicated 20A branch circuits — confirm your panel has a 20A breaker feeding the rack before specifying. For rack power planning on multi-unit deployments, account for the full loaded amperage of all devices in the rack to avoid tripping the branch circuit under peak demand.

James Everett

The J06B0B20 is a straightforward 120V/20A rackmount power strip — the kind of unit I spec into security head-end racks and AV equipment closets where the priority is a reliable, code-correct power point on a dedicated 20A branch circuit. The 6 ft cord and lighted switch are the two details that actually matter on install day.

Technical Highlights:

• 20A Rating: a 20A-rated strip on a dedicated 20A circuit keeps you within NEC 80% continuous-load rules at 16A continuous — right-sized for a populated security rack running NVRs, switches, and access control panels.
• 6 ft Cord: in practice, a 6 ft cord reaches most rack-adjacent 20A receptacles without an extension, which matters for inspection and code compliance in commercial installations.
• TAA Compliance: the J06B0B20 carries TAA-compliant status — confirmed at the SKU level — which removes a procurement hurdle on government site work and federally funded school or municipal projects.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the branch circuit feeding the rack is actually a dedicated 20A run before installation — sharing with lighting or HVAC loads will trip the breaker under rack peak demand.
• The lighted switch is a convenience indicator, not a remote-control or metered outlet; if you need per-outlet switching or current monitoring, this unit is not the right fit — look at managed PDU options in the Middle Atlantic line instead.

Best fit: security integrator head-end racks, municipal AV equipment closets, and government-funded installations where TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement and a simple reliable 20A switched strip is all the power management the job calls for.
