Middle Atlantic Shallow Flrbox Cmpx Spce - CAF3

Middle Atlantic CAF3 Shallow Three-Gang Raised Floor Box

Overview

The Middle Atlantic CAF3 is a shallow three-gang raised floor box designed for structured cabling and AV infrastructure deployments where plenum depth is constrained. At just 3.25 inches tall and 7.38 inches deep, the CAF3 fits into raised-floor environments where standard-depth floor boxes simply won't clear the underfloor structure — a common pain point in retrofit data centers, boardrooms, and open office buildouts. The compact 6.75-inch width keeps the floor footprint tight without sacrificing the three-gang capacity you need for mixed signal and power connections in a single opening.

Key Features

• Shallow 3.25 in profile: At 8.3 cm tall, this box clears low-clearance raised floors where standard-depth units would require costly floor tile modifications or deeper plenum access — important in retrofit installs over existing slab.
• Three-gang capacity in a 6.75 × 7.38 in footprint: Three device positions in a 17.1 × 18.8 cm envelope means you can accommodate separate power, data, and AV connections at a single floor station without cutting an oversized opening.
• TAA non-compliant: The CAF3 is not TAA compliant. For federal government projects or GSA Schedule deployments with TAA requirements, verify your procurement spec before ordering — this unit will not satisfy those mandates.

Integration & Compatibility

The CAF3 is designed for use with Middle Atlantic's raised floor box ecosystem. Confirm insert compatibility with your chosen gang inserts, faceplates, and cable management accessories against the Middle Atlantic product line before finalizing your bill of materials. For structured cabling planning, consult a rack and enclosure infrastructure layout to ensure the floor box placement aligns with your patch field and cable routing strategy. Integrators running AV infrastructure in raised-floor conference rooms or control rooms will find the shallow depth essential where tile-to-slab clearance is under 4 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the CAF3 suited for raised-floor environments?

A: Its 3.25-inch height is specifically designed for low-clearance raised floors where standard-depth floor boxes would require deeper plenum access or tile modification.
