Middle Atlantic Rackmount 19IN BLK W/6 5 - J60B0B-90

Middle Atlantic J60B0B-90 19-Inch Rack-Mount Power Strip

The Middle Atlantic J60B0B-90 is a 1U, 19-inch rack-mount power distribution strip designed for AV racks, security equipment enclosures, and IT infrastructure. Rated at 120V/15A with six outlets and a 6 ft (1.8 m) power cord, it delivers clean, organized AC distribution in a single rack unit — keeping your wiring tidy and your gear powered without the clutter of consumer-grade power strips zip-tied to a rail. TAA compliance makes it suitable for federal installations and government-contracted deployments where procurement rules require it.

Overview

Middle Atlantic is Legrand's dedicated rack power and infrastructure brand, built around AV integrators and security system designers who need reliable, repeatable components across many deployments. The J60B0B-90 fits that use case directly: a horizontal rackmount power strip that installs in one rack unit, accepts a standard NEMA 5-15P plug from your PDU or wall circuit, and distributes power to up to six devices through its outlet bank. The black finish matches standard equipment racks. The J60B0B-90 (often searched as J60B0B 90) is part of the J60B series, which is specifically designed for 120V North American rack environments.

Key Features

• Six Outlets at 120V/15A: Six standard NEMA 5-15R receptacles share a 15A circuit — enough for a mix of cameras, encoders, access control panels, or AV processors drawing modest loads. Plan your load budget before populating all six; if individual devices draw 2–3A each, you will approach the 15A breaker threshold quickly with six devices running simultaneously.
• 6 ft (1.8 m) Power Cord: The 6 ft cord gives you enough reach to connect to a PDU mounted at the bottom of a standard 42U rack without resorting to extension cables — a clean, code-compliant solution for most rack layouts. Shorter than 6 ft often forces awkward routing or unwanted extension cord use.
• 1U 19-Inch Rack Form Factor: Mounts in any standard EIA 19-inch equipment rack or enclosure using the integrated flanges. One rack unit means you are not sacrificing premium space in a dense rack — deploy it at the bottom of the rack where it is out of the way but still accessible.
• Black Finish: The all-black housing matches standard rack equipment aesthetics. In open-frame racks or glass-door enclosures visible to clients or building tenants, this matters more than it might seem — a mismatched grey strip stands out.
• TAA Compliant: The J60B0B-90 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, meaning it qualifies for U.S. federal government purchases, GSA schedule orders, and contracts with TAA compliance mandates. If your project involves a government end-user, this is a required checkbox — not optional.

Integration and Compatibility

The J60B0B-90 is designed for standard 19-inch EIA equipment racks, including open-frame two-post and four-post racks as well as enclosed rack cabinets. It plugs into any 120V/15A or 20A circuit via a standard NEMA 5-15P plug. Pair it with a Middle Atlantic or third-party rack enclosure and a properly sized upstream circuit breaker. For installations requiring surge protection or UPS-backed power, this strip should be downstream of a dedicated surge suppressor or uninterruptible power supply — it does not provide surge protection or battery backup on its own. For larger deployments with mixed 15A and 20A devices, review your rack power distribution options to confirm circuit compatibility before specifying this unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic J60B0B-90 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The J60B0B-90 is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal government procurement, GSA schedule orders, and contracts that require Trade Agreements Act compliance.

Q: How many outlets does the J60B0B-90 have?

A: The J60B0B-90 provides six outlets. It is rated at 120V/15A total capacity, so total connected load across all six outlets must stay within the 15A circuit rating.

Q: What is the cord length on the J60B0B-90?

A: The power cord is 6 ft (1.8 m) in length, which is sufficient to reach a PDU or wall outlet from most standard rack positions without extension cables.

Q: Does the J60B0B-90 include surge protection?

A: Based on available evidence, the J60B0B-90 is a rack-mount power distribution strip and does not advertise built-in surge protection. If surge protection is required, deploy it downstream of a dedicated surge suppressor or UPS.

Q: What rack size does the J60B0B-90 fit?

A: The J60B0B-90 is designed for standard 19-inch EIA equipment racks and occupies one rack unit (1U) of vertical space.

Q: Is the J60B0B-90 suitable for government projects?

A: Yes. TAA compliance means the J60B0B-90 meets federal procurement requirements for government installations and GSA-contracted projects.

James Everett

The Middle Atlantic J60B0B-90 is a straightforward piece of infrastructure, but choosing the wrong power strip in a rack deployment creates problems that are annoying to fix after everything is cabled up. The 6 ft (1.8 m) cord is the practical detail I look at first — in a 42U rack with a wall-circuit drop at floor level, a 3 ft cord leaves you reaching for an extension, which is exactly what you do not want in a finished install.

Technical Highlights:

• 120V/15A Rating: Shared across six outlets — keep your per-device draw estimates honest. Four devices at 3A each already puts you at 80% of circuit capacity, which is where most electrical codes expect you to cap continuous loads.
• 6 ft Power Cord: Long enough to reach from a mid-rack or bottom-rack mounting position to a floor-level circuit or PDU without extension cables — the detail that keeps installs clean and code-compliant.
• TAA Compliance: The J60B0B-90 meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, which is a hard procurement gate on federal, state, and many municipal government contracts — not a marketing bullet, a real bid requirement.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a power distribution strip, not a surge suppressor or UPS. In any rack where equipment protection matters — security NVRs, access control panels, AV processors — place it downstream of a dedicated surge suppressor or UPS so the strip is simply distributing already-protected power.
• At 15A total, six fully-loaded outlets can hit the breaker limit faster than expected. Map out your connected device wattage before finalizing the outlet count — if your load exceeds 12A continuous, step up to a 20A-rated PDU for proper headroom.

The J60B0B-90 is the right call for government-contracted rack builds — security operations centers, federal facility AV racks, or any integration where TAA compliance is a bid requirement and you need a clean, 1U horizontal power solution without surplus features you will not use.
