Wiremold Evolution 6CT2 Poke Thru Cover

The Wiremold Evolution 6CT2 Poke Thru Cover represents a modern leap in floor-penetration power and data management. All-metal die-cast aluminum cover assemblies deliver unmatched durability for busy commercial environments—from corporate offices and retail spaces to healthcare facilities and educational campuses. The Evolution Series poke-thru design eliminates fragile flip lids and replaces them with two spring-loaded slide egress doors that glide open and shut with minimal wear, dramatically reducing maintenance calls and replacement costs. The 180-degree opening reveals broad access to cables and power, enabling quick installations of large power strips or networking hardware without contorting cables or snagging on edges. Because the cover sits flush with the floor and provides a clean, modular look, it blends seamlessly with any interior design while maintaining safety and code compliance. This makes the Evolution 6CT2 a versatile choice for new construction and renovations where a dependable, maintenance-friendly floor access solution is required.

• Durable all-metal die-cast aluminum cover assemblies deliver rugged performance in high-traffic environments. This construction resists impact, corrosion, and wear, ensuring long-term appearance and reliability in lobbies, hallways, classrooms, and conference spaces. The robust build is designed to stand up to daily foot traffic, chair movement, and occasional heavy equipment passing over the opening, making it ideal for commercial interiors that demand longevity.
• Evolution Series poke-thru design with two spring-loaded slide egress doors provides secure, hands-free access to cables and power. Unlike traditional flip lids that can break, jam, or create a snag hazard, the slide doors retract smoothly, offering consistent operation and reduced downtime. This design keeps the opening tidy when not in use and protects internal cables from dust and debris while still delivering instant accessibility when needed.
• Full 180-degree opening delivers maximum clearance for cables, cords, and oversized power strips. The expansive access area simplifies installation and future reconfigurations, enabling technicians and occupants to route data lines, AV cables, or electrical cords without forcing bends or contortions that can compromise performance or safety.
• Trip-hazard reduction through a flush, low-profile surface that integrates seamlessly with modern flooring. The absence of protruding lids or awkward hardware creates a safer environment for pedestrians and traffic flow, meeting accessibility standards and helping to prevent accidents in busy workspaces, retail floors, and educational facilities.
• Easy installation and wide compatibility make it suitable for new builds or renovations. Engineered to fit standard floor openings and compatible with the 6CT2 configuration, this cover supports quick retrofits with minimal downtime. Its durable, low-maintenance design reduces service calls and keeps floor areas looking clean and professional over time.

How to install Wiremold Evolution 6CT2 Poke Thru Cover

• Plan and verify floor opening: Confirm that the floor opening matches the 6CT2 poke-thru specification and that the subfloor can support the cover’s weight and use. Ensure the surrounding area is clear of obstructions and that electrical and data pathways comply with local codes.
• Prepare the opening and route cables: Route cables, power cords, and data lines through the allocated pathways before securing the cover. Use appropriate grommets or conduit separations to prevent wear on cables as they enter or exit the poke-thru opening.
• Position the cover: Align the Evolution poke-thru cover with the floor opening and ensure the hinge/door mechanism sits properly within the opening. Check that the surface sits flush against the finished floor and that there are no gaps around the perimeter.
• Secure the cover: Fasten the cover using the prescribed mounting hardware and anchors for your floor type. Tighten screws evenly to maintain a uniform flush surface and prevent distortion of the die-cast aluminum components.
• Test operation and finalize: Open the two spring-loaded doors to confirm smooth action and full 180-degree reach. Verify that the opening provides adequate cable clearance and that the surface remains level. Conduct a brief walk-through to ensure there are no tripping hazards and that accessibility requirements are met.
