Middle Atlantic Rackmount 19IN Black W/3 - J06B2B

Middle Atlantic J06B2B Rackmount Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic J06B2B is a 19-inch rackmount power strip built for equipment racks in security, AV, and IT infrastructure deployments. Its 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord keeps cable runs tight inside the rack — no excess cord bunching around a PDU at the rear of a shallow-depth cabinet. TAA compliance makes it a straightforward procurement choice for federal, state, and local government projects subject to the Trade Agreements Act, eliminating the sourcing exceptions and procurement paperwork that non-compliant alternatives require.

Key Features

• 19-Inch Rackmount Form Factor: Standard EIA-310 19-inch width mounts directly into any compliant equipment rack without adapters — practical for mixed-vendor rack builds common in security and AV system integration.
• 1.5 ft Cord Length: The short 0.5 m cord is deliberate — it routes cleanly from the power strip to the rack's vertical PDU rail or in-rack power inlet without draping loose cable across equipment. Size the cord to your rack depth before ordering; this is a short-reach unit.
• TAA Compliant: Verified TAA compliance means the J06B2B satisfies Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements for federal government contracts and GSA schedule purchases. If your project has a TAA clause, this clears it without a waiver.

Integration & Compatibility

The J06B2B is designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks used across network and security infrastructure deployments. It pairs naturally with rack enclosures and complements other rackmount power distribution components in mixed AV and security installations. For federal or government-site builds, pair with other TAA-compliant rack components to maintain full program compliance across the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the J06B2B TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The J06B2B is verified TAA compliant, making it suitable for federal, state, and local government procurement under Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What is the cord length on the J06B2B?

A: The J06B2B has a 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord — a short-reach design intended for in-rack power routing rather than long runs to a wall outlet.

Q: What rack size does the J06B2B fit?

A: The J06B2B is a 19-inch rackmount unit compatible with standard EIA-310 19-inch equipment racks.

Q: Is the J06B2B suitable for government projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance makes it appropriate for GSA schedule purchases and projects with TAA contract clauses. Verify all other project-specific procurement requirements with your contracting officer.

The J06B2B's 1.5 ft cord is the spec I always flag first when speccing this unit — it is purpose-built for in-rack mounting where you are routing to a nearby vertical power rail or in-rack power inlet, not stretching to a wall outlet six feet away. If your rack layout puts the power inlet more than 18 inches from the strip, plan for an extension or a different cord-length variant before the rack ships to site.

Technical Highlights:

• Short 1.5 ft Cord: Eliminates cord clutter in shallow and mid-depth racks — the 0.5 m length routes cleanly without looping excess cable over active equipment.
• 19-Inch Rackmount Width: Drops into any standard EIA-310 rack without modification — no adapter brackets, no rack-unit guesswork on mixed-vendor builds.
• TAA Compliance: Procurement-ready for federal and government contracts; no waiver required, no sourcing exception paperwork when the contract has a TAA clause.

Deployment Considerations:

• Measure cord reach before ordering — the 1.5 ft cord is a fixed constraint; if your in-rack power inlet is further than 18 inches from the strip's mounting position, this unit will not reach without an extension.
• TAA compliance is verified for this SKU, but confirm all other rack components in a government build carry matching compliance if your contract requires end-to-end TAA coverage.

The J06B2B is the right call for government-site security or AV equipment racks where TAA compliance is a contract requirement and cord management inside a compact rack is a priority — not a general-purpose strip for open-frame racks with distant power feeds.
