Middle Atlantic Rackmount 19IN Black W/6 - J60B2B-90

Middle Atlantic J60B2B-90 19-Inch Rackmount Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic J60B2B-90 is a 19-inch rackmount power strip designed for equipment racks in security, AV, and IT infrastructure deployments. If you're populating a rack with NVRs, switches, encoders, or other 1U/2U gear that needs reliable AC distribution without a separate PDU shelf, the J60B2B-90 fits that role cleanly. The 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord keeps cable management tight inside the rack — enough reach to connect to a standard rack-mounted UPS or local outlet without excess slack bunching up behind the equipment. TAA compliance means this unit is eligible for U.S. federal procurement and government integrations where country-of-origin requirements apply. As part of the broader Middle Atlantic rack power line, the J60B2B-90 sits within a family built specifically for professional rack environments rather than adapted from consumer power strips.

Key Features

• 19-Inch Rackmount Form Factor: Designed to mount flush in a standard EIA 19-inch rack — no adapters, no improvised brackets. This keeps your rack organized and eliminates the tangled-cord problem that comes with consumer strips zip-tied to a rail.
• 1.5 ft Cord Length: The 0.5 m cord is intentionally short. That's not a limitation — it's correct design for in-rack use where the power source is local. A longer cord in a closed rack becomes a cable-management liability.
• TAA Compliant: The J60B2B-90 carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making it a valid line item for GSA schedules, federal agency deployments, and any project requiring domestic/TAA-origin sourcing. If your bid spec requires TAA on all rack components, this unit qualifies.
• 120V / 15A Rating: Standard North American voltage and circuit rating. Matches the typical 15A dedicated circuit in equipment rooms — no special wiring or step-down transformers required. Size your load per outlet accordingly and don't exceed the 15A breaker threshold across all connected devices.
• 6-Outlet Configuration: Six outlets gives you enough ports for a compact rack stack — an NVR, a PoE switch, a UPS bypass, and spare capacity — without the bulk of a full 8- or 12-outlet PDU. Right-sized for rack power distribution in mid-density deployments.

Integration and Compatibility

The J60B2B-90 is compatible with any standard 19-inch EIA rack. It pairs well with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and open-frame racks used in security head-end rooms, IDF closets, and AV equipment bays. For larger deployments requiring per-outlet metering or remote switching, review the broader rack accessories category — the J60B2B-90 is a non-managed strip suited to installations where simplicity and TAA compliance take priority over remote monitoring. If your deployment requires a UPS or battery backup upstream, the 15A/120V rating is straightforward to size against standard UPS output specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the J60B2B-90 TAA compliant for federal procurement?

A: Yes. The J60B2B-90 carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making it eligible for GSA schedules and federal agency projects with country-of-origin requirements.

Q: What is the cord length on the J60B2B-90?

A: The cord is 1.5 ft (0.5 m) — intentionally short for in-rack use where the power source is mounted locally in the same rack or adjacent panel.

Q: How many outlets does the J60B2B-90 provide?

A: The J60B2B-90 provides 6 outlets, suitable for powering NVRs, switches, encoders, and other rack-mounted equipment in mid-density installations.

Q: What rack size does the J60B2B-90 fit?

A: The J60B2B-90 is designed for standard 19-inch EIA racks, the industry-standard format used in security, AV, and IT rack enclosures.

Q: Is the J60B2B-90 a managed or unmanaged power strip?

A: The J60B2B-90 is an unmanaged rackmount power strip — no per-outlet switching or remote monitoring. It is best suited for installations where simplicity and TAA compliance are the primary requirements.

Ted Perry

The J60B2B-90 is the unit I reach for when the priority is clean rack power distribution with TAA compliance and no cable management headaches. The 1.5 ft cord is the spec most people overlook — in a closed rack, a 6 ft cord is clutter you don't need, and Middle Atlantic sized this correctly for in-rack use from the start.

Technical Highlights:

• TAA Compliance: Verified TAA-compliant — a hard requirement on federal, state, and municipal bids. This single spec can determine whether the unit clears procurement, so confirm it against your bid documents before substituting.
• 1.5 ft (0.5 m) Cord: Designed for in-rack power sourcing. Pairs cleanly with a rack-mounted UPS positioned in the same enclosure — no coiled excess cord occupying U space or blocking airflow behind equipment.
• 6-Outlet / 15A / 120V: Standard North American circuit rating with enough outlets for a compact NVR-plus-switch head-end stack. Calculate your load budget before populating all six — the 15A breaker is the ceiling for the entire strip.

Deployment Considerations:

• The short 1.5 ft cord means your power source must be local — either a rack-mounted UPS in the same bay or an outlet within immediate reach. Plan rack layout accordingly before ordering.
• This is an unmanaged strip. If the project spec calls for per-outlet metering, remote switching, or load monitoring, step up to a managed PDU. The J60B2B-90 is the right call when simplicity and compliance matter more than remote control.

Best fit for federal and municipal security head-end rooms, IDF closets, and compact equipment racks where TAA compliance is a bid requirement and in-rack cable discipline is non-negotiable.
