Middle Atlantic Rackmount 19IN Black W/3 - J06B0B20X

Middle Atlantic J06B0B20X 19-Inch Rackmount Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic J06B0B20X is a 19-inch rackmount power strip designed for structured AV and security rack installations requiring a clean, managed power distribution solution. Rated at 120V/20A and built to TAA compliance standards, it suits government, enterprise, and commercial deployments where federal procurement rules apply. The 6 ft (1.8 m) cord provides enough reach to connect to a standard 20A dedicated circuit without straining cable management — a practical detail in dense equipment rooms where every inch of slack matters.

Middle Atlantic has a long track record in rack infrastructure for security and AV integrators. Browse the full Middle Atlantic rack and power catalog for complementary mounting and distribution solutions.

Key Features

• TAA Compliance: The J06B0B20X meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for GSA schedule purchases and federal government projects where country-of-origin rules apply. If your project has a TAA mandate, this clears that gate without a waiver.
• 20A Circuit Rating: A 20A strip paired with a dedicated 20A branch circuit means you're not sharing headroom with other loads — important when powering NVRs, managed switches, and access control panels simultaneously in the same rack.
• 6 ft Power Cord: The 1.8 m cord length reaches most in-rack PDU or wall-circuit positions without needing an extension — extensions on 20A circuits require careful gauge matching, so having adequate native cord length simplifies the install and keeps it code-compliant.
• 19-Inch Rackmount Form Factor: Installs directly into any standard EIA 19-inch rack. For rack power distribution in security head-end rooms, server closets, or AV equipment racks, the rackmount profile keeps power distribution off the floor and properly managed.
• Black Finish: Matches standard rack aesthetics in professional installations — a minor point, but one that matters on client-facing equipment rooms and studio-quality integrations.

Integration & Compatibility

The J06B0B20X is compatible with any standard 19-inch EIA rack frame. It connects to a 20A/120V branch circuit — confirm your panel has a dedicated 20A circuit available before specifying this unit. For larger rack deployments or 208V/240V environments, consult the broader Middle Atlantic power line for appropriate voltage variants. Pair with a rackmount UPS upstream to add battery backup and surge protection for connected security equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic J06B0B20X TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The J06B0B20X is confirmed TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal government procurement and GSA schedule projects requiring Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Q: What voltage and amperage does the J06B0B20X support?

A: Based on the product family designation (J06B-Rack-Mount-120V-20A), this unit operates at 120V on a 20A circuit. Confirm with the manufacturer datasheet for your specific application.

Q: How long is the power cord on the J06B0B20X?

A: The cord measures 6 ft (1.8 m), providing adequate reach for most in-rack or near-rack circuit connections without requiring an extension cord.

Q: What rack size does the J06B0B20X fit?

A: It is designed for standard 19-inch EIA rackmount installations, compatible with the vast majority of professional equipment racks used in security, AV, and IT environments.

Q: Can the J06B0B20X be used in a government facility?

A: Yes. TAA compliance means it satisfies the country-of-origin requirements for most U.S. federal and government agency purchasing programs.

Karl Wilson

The J06B0B20X earns its place in government and enterprise rack builds specifically because of its TAA compliance — when a federal end-user or state agency reviews your bill of materials, this line item clears procurement without escalation. That 6 ft cord is also worth noting: on a deep two-post or four-post rack where the nearest 20A receptacle sits at floor level or behind the rack column, having native cord length avoids the code and liability exposure of in-rack extension cords on 20A circuits.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: Satisfies Trade Agreements Act country-of-origin requirements — a hard gate on many federal, DoD, and state government contracts that cannot be waived after award.
• 20A Rating: A dedicated 20A circuit strip keeps NVRs, PoE switches, and access control equipment on isolated branch power — avoids nuisance trips and simplifies load calculations during the design phase.
• 6 ft Cord: Enough native reach for most rack-to-wall or rack-to-PDU runs without introducing an extension cord, which would need to be matched to 20A (#12 AWG minimum) to stay NEC-compliant.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your panel has a dedicated 20A/120V branch circuit before the equipment room is closed in — retrofitting a dedicated circuit after drywall is expensive and disruptive.
• Evidence confirms cord length and TAA status but does not specify outlet count or joule/surge rating; request the full datasheet from Middle Atlantic before finalizing designs that depend on specific outlet quantity or surge suppression.

Best fit for a government security head-end room or a TAA-mandated enterprise rack build where federal procurement compliance is a non-negotiable line item on the project checklist.
