Middle Atlantic AL20GB506TR TR Plugmold 5 FT Aluminum Multi-Outlet Strip
Overview
The AL20GB506TR is a 5 ft (1.5 m) tamper-resistant Plugmold multi-outlet strip in an aluminum finish, designed for rack enclosures and AV/security equipment installations where code compliance and outlet accessibility matter. Tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles satisfy NEC requirements for commercial and institutional environments — meaning you won't need to retrofit covers or swap outlets after inspection. The aluminum housing integrates cleanly into Middle Atlantic rack and enclosure systems without the visual clutter of aftermarket power strips.
Compatibility
This strip is sized for rack power distribution applications within Middle Atlantic ERK, BGR, and PD-series enclosures, as well as open-frame racks that accept horizontal Plugmold mounting. The 5 ft run suits equipment bays requiring distributed outlet access along the full rack depth or width. The 6 in (15.2 cm) receptacle spacing — roughly one outlet per rack unit of depth — prevents plug crowding when deploying dense power bricks and wall-wart adapters common in AV and network switch deployments. TAA compliance makes this appropriate for federal, government, and GSA-schedule procurements without additional sourcing justification.
Installation Notes
Mount horizontally along the interior rail of a Middle Atlantic enclosure or surface-mount using Plugmold-compatible mounting clips (verify clip part number against your specific enclosure rail profile before ordering). The aluminum finish is cosmetic — confirm your enclosure color match if aesthetics are a requirement. Tamper-resistant receptacles require standard TR-rated plugs; they do not accept non-polarized legacy plugs without firm engagement, which is intentional by design and not a defect. Verify total load against the circuit capacity feeding this strip — the AL20GB506TR itself does not include an integrated breaker or surge suppression.
