Middle Atlantic TPP Ivry Ded/isol GRD 10F - 25DTP-4D

Middle Atlantic 25DTP-4D Steel Tele-Power Pole with Dedicated/Isolated Ground

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 25DTP-4D is a steel tele-power pole from the 25DTP Series, designed for commercial environments where structured in-column power distribution with a dedicated or isolated ground circuit is required. Finished in ivory to blend with standard commercial ceilings and wall surfaces, the 25DTP-4D brings vertical power routing off the floor and out of cable trays — a clean solution for open-plan offices, conference rooms, and integration bays where surface raceway isn't an option and floor cuts aren't permitted.

At 2.31 in wide and 2.25 in deep, the pole's slim profile keeps it unobtrusive against walls or columns. The shipping footprint — 2.75" x 1.56" x 29" — confirms this is a compact, site-deployable unit that ships without freight class concerns. TAA compliance (Trade Agreements Act) means it can be specified on U.S. federal and government contracts without triggering country-of-origin review, a meaningful checkbox for integrators working GSA schedules or public-sector projects.

Key Features

• Dedicated/Isolated Ground Circuit: Separates the ground path from the building's shared equipment ground — critical in AV and security integration racks where ground loops introduce hum and noise into audio, video, or low-voltage control signals. This is the spec that separates the 25DTP-4D from standard tele-power poles.
• Ivory Finish: Matches standard commercial ceiling tile and wall finishes, reducing visual intrusion in client-facing spaces like lobbies, boardrooms, and retail floors where exposed infrastructure must look intentional.
• Slim 2.31" x 2.25" Cross-Section: Fits close to structural columns and wall edges without requiring clearance accommodations, simplifying installation in tight deployments.
• TAA Compliant: Eligible for U.S. federal procurement vehicles and GSA schedule orders — integrators on government contracts can spec this without a country-of-origin waiver process.
• Steel Construction: Commercial-grade steel housing provides the rigidity expected of a permanent installation versus snap-together plastic alternatives — relevant where the pole anchors to both floor and ceiling and carries meaningful cable load.

Integration & Compatibility

The 25DTP-4D is part of Middle Atlantic's 25DTP Series of steel tele-power poles, designed to pair with compatible base and canopy covers in the same series. For AV and security rack buildouts, pair with Middle Atlantic power conditioning units to complete the power chain from the pole outlet to sensitive equipment. Confirm series-specific receptacle modules, raceway covers, and floor-to-ceiling adapter kits with your project's rough-in dimensions before ordering — tele-power pole compatibility is dimensional and series-specific.

For broader power distribution planning in structured cabling or AV integration projects, review the full range of column and raceway solutions to match pole height, outlet count, and finish to your space requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Middle Atlantic 25DTP-4D TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The 25DTP-4D is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government procurement contracts without a country-of-origin waiver.

Q: What color/finish is the 25DTP-4D?

A: The 25DTP-4D ships in an ivory finish, suited for matching standard commercial ceiling tile and wall surfaces in office, retail, and institutional environments.

Q: What are the dimensions of the 25DTP-4D?

A: The pole body measures 2.31 in wide by 2.25 in deep. Shipping dimensions are 2.75" x 1.56" x 29" (69.9 x 39.7 x 736.6 mm).

Q: What does the dedicated/isolated ground feature mean in practice?

A: A dedicated or isolated ground provides a separate ground path independent of the building's shared equipment ground. This reduces ground loop interference — a common cause of hum and noise artifacts in AV systems, security equipment, and low-voltage control wiring sharing a common ground with HVAC, lighting, or other building loads.

Q: Is the 25DTP-4D part of a larger system?

A: Yes. The 25DTP-4D belongs to Middle Atlantic's 25DTP Series of steel tele-power poles. Pairing covers, base plates, canopy kits, and receptacle modules are available within the series — confirm dimensional compatibility with your ceiling height and rough-in specs before ordering.

Jerry Tildsen

The detail that drives most of my recommendations on the 25DTP-4D is the dedicated/isolated ground circuit. In open-plan commercial buildouts where AV or security equipment shares column infrastructure with general building power, a standard shared ground is a reliable noise source — and troubleshooting a ground loop after the pole is ceiling-anchored and finished is not a short afternoon. Specifying the 25DTP-4D at design time costs nothing extra compared to a standard pole and saves that conversation entirely.

Technical Highlights:

• Isolated Ground Path: Separates equipment ground from the building's shared ground circuit — directly prevents ground loop hum in AV signal chains and low-voltage security wiring co-routed in the same column.
• Ivory Finish (2.31" x 2.25" profile): Slim enough to position against structural columns without clearance issues; ivory matches standard commercial ceiling tile without a paint call.
• TAA Compliance: Verified compliant — integrators on GSA schedules or public-sector projects can include this in submittals without triggering a country-of-origin review cycle.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 25DTP-4D is a series-specific component — base plates, canopy covers, and receptacle modules must come from the 25DTP Series. Mixing series parts is a common field mistake; confirm all accessories at the time of quote.
• Shipping dimensions (2.75" x 1.56" x 29") suggest this is a shorter pole or a modular section — verify the installed length matches your floor-to-ceiling rough-in before the order ships. Tele-power poles are not field-cuttable without affecting finish and structural integrity.

Best fit for client-facing commercial spaces — lobbies, conference rooms, open-plan offices — where a finished ivory column look is required, isolated grounding is a spec line item, and the project touches a government procurement vehicle that requires TAA-verified components.
