Middle Atlantic Rackmount 19IN Black W/3 - J60B2B20X

Middle Atlantic J60B2B20X 19-Inch Rackmount Power Strip 120V 20A

The Middle Atlantic J60B2B20X is a 19-inch rackmount power strip rated at 120V/20A, designed for structured rack environments where clean power distribution and TAA compliance are non-negotiable. With a 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord, this unit is built for tight rack deployments where cable management matters as much as the hardware it feeds.

Overview

The J60B2B20X fits standard 19-inch EIA racks and delivers 20A of capacity — enough headroom for NVR/DVR systems, network switches, and access control panels sharing a single rack. The 20A circuit rating means you can pull full load without tripping a standard 20A breaker when paired with a dedicated circuit. TAA compliance makes this a straightforward choice for federal, state, and local government deployments subject to Trade Agreements Act procurement requirements.

Key Features

• TAA Compliant: The J60B2B20X meets Trade Agreements Act requirements — a hard procurement gate for government and federally-funded projects. No compliance workaround needed at the power strip level.
• 20A Capacity: A 20A-rated strip paired with a dedicated 20A circuit gives you full available capacity without nuisance tripping — important in racks where NVR storage arrays, PoE switches, and video management servers share a single power source.
• 1.5 ft (0.5 m) Cord: The short cord length is intentional for rack infrastructure installs — it keeps the power run tight between the strip and the PDU or wall outlet, reducing slack and cable clutter inside the rack enclosure.
• 19-Inch Rack Form Factor: Mounts directly in standard 19-inch EIA racks without adapters or custom brackets, which is standard for NVR and server rack deployments in security and IT environments.
• 120V Operation: Matched to standard North American single-phase power infrastructure — no step-down transformer or special circuit required beyond a dedicated 20A breaker.

Integration and Compatibility

The J60B2B20X is compatible with any standard 19-inch EIA rack. It fits naturally into rack power distribution architectures alongside Middle Atlantic enclosures, patch panels, and cable management accessories. If you're building a compliant surveillance or access control rack for a government facility, the TAA designation simplifies procurement documentation significantly. Pair with a UPS or power conditioner upstream if the installation requires surge protection or battery backup — this strip handles distribution, not conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the J60B2B20X TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The J60B2B20X is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and federally-funded procurement under Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Q: What voltage and amperage does the J60B2B20X support?

A: The J60B2B20X is rated for 120V/20A operation, standard for North American single-phase circuits.

Q: What is the cord length on the J60B2B20X?

A: The cord measures 1.5 ft (0.5 m), designed for close-proximity rack installations where a short, managed run is preferred.

Q: Does the J60B2B20X fit a standard 19-inch rack?

A: Yes. It mounts in any standard 19-inch EIA rack without additional adapters.

Q: Does the J60B2B20X include surge protection or UPS functionality?

A: Based on available specifications, the J60B2B20X is a rackmount power strip for distribution. For surge protection or battery backup, pair it with a dedicated UPS or power conditioner upstream.

Ted Perry

The J60B2B20X is a purpose-built rackmount strip from Middle Atlantic's J60B line — the TAA compliance designation is the detail that actually drives the spec sheet for most integrators I talk to. If you're bidding a government security or access control rack, that single checkbox eliminates a procurement headache that can hold up a project close.

Technical Highlights:

• 20A Rating: Running a 20A strip on a dedicated 20A circuit gives you the full circuit capacity without nuisance tripping under load — relevant when an NVR, a managed PoE switch, and an access control panel share the same rack row.
• 1.5 ft Cord: The short 0.5 m cord is a deliberate design choice for in-rack use, keeping the connection from strip to PDU or outlet tight and out of the cable management channels.
• TAA Compliance: Verified at the SKU level — not a family-level claim. For GSA schedule work or any federal facility, this needs to be confirmed per line item, and the J60B2B20X carries it.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a distribution strip, not a conditioner — if the installation has dirty power or needs battery backup, add a UPS upstream before this strip, not after.
• The 1.5 ft cord limits placement flexibility; confirm your rack's PDU or outlet position before ordering if cord reach is a constraint.

Best fit for government facility integrators building TAA-compliant surveillance or access control racks where every component in the BOM needs to clear procurement review.
