Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ Series is a flush-mounted USB outlet range for built-in charging points in protected interior spaces on board or ashore. It gives you a neat way to add USB access within an ARKÉ modular installation, so phones and other everyday devices can be charged without adding a separate charger faceplate.

Across the range, this is a one-module device with screw terminals, a matt finish, halogen-free thermoplastic construction, and IP20 protection. Height is 49 mm on all versions. Width is 22.3 mm on the grey outlet and 22.2 mm on the metal and white outlets. Depth is 41.4 mm on grey and 34.4 mm on metal and white, which matters when there is limited clearance behind the panel.

Key features

• Flush-mounted one-module format for ARKÉ modular installations
• USB outlet with screw terminals for fixed wiring connections
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with a matt surface
• IP20 rating for protected interior locations
• Three finish options: Grey RAL 7015, Metal RAL 9007, and White RAL 9016
• Body depth varies by finish, with a shallower 34.4 mm profile on metal and white versions

Variants

This outlet is offered in three finish options within the same ARKÉ format.

What changes between variants is the finish, color, surface treatment, and the body depth behind the panel. The shared format remains consistent where verified, including flush-mounted installation, screw terminals, halogen-free thermoplastic construction, a matt surface, IP20 protection, and 49 mm overall height.

• VM19345: Grey finish, RAL 7015, untreated matt surface, 22.3 mm width, 41.4 mm depth. This version matches darker ARKÉ trim and uses the deeper body profile in the range.
• VM19345.M: Metal finish, aluminium tone, RAL 9007, lacquered matt surface, 22.2 mm width, 34.4 mm depth. The shallower body helps where space behind the mounting point is tighter.
• VM19345.B: White finish, RAL 9016, untreated matt surface, 22.2 mm width, 34.4 mm depth. This option suits lighter interiors and shares the shallow body depth of the metal version.

Installation and fit

This outlet is meant for flush-mounted installations in protected interior joinery or switch panels. Before ordering, it is worth checking that the mounting position matches the ARKÉ modular format and that the available depth behind the panel suits the chosen finish. On boats, the IP20 rating makes it a better fit for cabins, saloons, berth areas, and covered helm positions than for exposed deck locations or areas that see regular spray.

Use on board

This is a good match for builders and owners already using ARKÉ devices who want the USB point to sit in line with the rest of the switch system. It works well anywhere a low-profile charging point is useful in daily use, especially in interior spaces where crew and guests charge phones and other small USB devices.
