Middle Atlantic AMD8ATC Assembled Communications Poke-Thru Device - Black

Meet the AMD8ATC, a professionally engineered poke-thru device from Middle Atlantic designed to simplify and elevate the way you route eight diverse communication connections through desks and furniture. This assembled communications solution blends robust construction with versatile connectivity, enabling clean cable management for data, voice, audio, and video signals in conference rooms, control rooms, classrooms, and corporate environments. The Black finish delivers a sleek, distraction-free look that complements modern office interiors while delivering dependable performance for everyday operations and occasional peak-demand periods.

• Connector capacity: Accepts up to eight UTP, fiber optic, audio, or video connectors, delivering flexible data, AV, and control signal pathways in a single, organized poke-thru solution. This capacity is ideal for mid-to-large deployments where multiple peripherals—such as Ethernet drops, AV distribution, and microphone or speaker lines—must pass through a single, accessible opening without sacrificing desk space or cable management.
• Finish flange options: Available finishes include gray (GY), black (BK), ivory (VY), brushed aluminum (AL), and brass finish (BS), allowing you to tailor the device to your interior design. Aluminum and brass flanges are standard with a black cover, providing a clean, cohesive look that blends with contemporary desks and workstations while protecting cables as they pass through the surface.
• Durable construction for demanding environments: Built to withstand frequent use in busy commercial settings, the AMD8ATC combines a rugged poke-thru body with premium flange materials. The result is a reliable, long-lasting access point for cables that keeps your workspace organized, reduces wear on connectors, and minimizes maintenance needs over time.
• Through-desk installation compatibility: Specifically designed for in-desk and through-panel installations, the AMD8ATC delivers a flush, professional appearance with easy access to connectors. Its footprint and mounting approach support neat cable routing, quick maintenance, and a tidy, professional aesthetic in meeting rooms, auditoriums, and data-driven spaces.
• Assembled and deployment-ready: The AMD8ATC arrives in an assembled configuration, enabling faster installation and consistent performance. This reduces on-site assembly time, lowers the chance of mis-wiring, and accelerates project timelines for IT, A/V teams, and facility managers who value speed without compromising reliability.
