Overview

The Vimar Idea is a modular RJ11 phone socket outlet for flush-mounted voice or telecom points, using a 6-position 4-conductor (6/4) connection with screw terminals. It takes 1 module in the Idea range, carries an IP20 rating, and measures 24.8 mm wide by 43.4 mm deep, so it is intended for protected interior spaces rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.

The insert is made from halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt finish and clamp mounting. It is a practical fit for refits or replacements where the vessel already uses Vimar Idea modular hardware and needs a matching telephone outlet in a cabin, saloon, office space, or other dry onboard area.

Key features

• RJ11 phone socket with 6-position 4-conductor (6/4) format for fixed telephone or telecom line terminations.
• Screw-terminal connection for straightforward wiring and later service access.
• 1-module insert sized for the Vimar Idea modular system.
• Flush-mounted format with clamp mounting for a clean finish in interior panels or bulkheads.
• IP20-rated front for sheltered indoor locations where the outlet is kept away from spray and washdowns.
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with a matt surface.

Variants

This product is offered in two color configurations within the same phone outlet format.

The visible finish changes between the variants. The RJ11 6/4 connection, screw-terminal wiring, 1-module layout, flush-mounted format, and IP20 rating stay the same across both versions.

• VM16335.B: Color Ivory. The lighter face works well where the existing switch layout or cabin trim already uses cream or off-white inserts.
• VM16335: Color Gray. The darker face is the better match for panels already fitted with gray Idea devices.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, check that the vessel is already set up for the Vimar Idea series and that the opening, support, and cover layout are meant for a 1-module flush insert. This outlet is classed for UAE/IAE applications and is built around an RJ11 telephone connection, so it is meant for voice or similar low-voltage telecom points rather than an exterior connector or a sealed marine socket.

Installation and use on board

Because the unit is IP20 and has no protective lid, it belongs in dry interior spaces such as cabins, saloons, or enclosed helm and admin areas. It is less suited to open cockpits, exterior bulkheads, or any place that sees salt spray, washdowns, or heavy dust. The screw terminals make it easier to terminate conductors neatly during a refit or when replacing an older insert in the same modular family.
