Overview

The Vimar Eikon 20787 is a 7-module table mounting box for surface installation of modular domestic switching devices in dry interior spaces. It mounts horizontally, has an IP20 rating, and measures 206 x 80 x 67.6 mm, so it is best suited to tables, desks, and other furniture surfaces where a flush box is not practical.

This housing gives you a clean way to bring switching points onto a chart table, cabin desk, saloon table, or enclosed helm surface. The body is plastic with a matt finish, includes cable entry, and uses a halogen-free construction that suits modern interior electrical fit-outs.

It is supplied as the mounting box only, so the installation is completed with a compatible mounting frame and cover plate. On board, this type of enclosure makes sense for interior refits and new builds where the wiring needs to stay accessible and the finished installation needs to look tidy.

Key features

• 7-module surface-mount box for modular domestic switching devices
• Horizontal mounting format for tables, desks, and other interior surfaces
• IP20 housing for dry locations inside the vessel
• Plastic body with matt finish and halogen-free construction
• Integrated cable entry and shock-resistant housing
• Overall dimensions: 206 x 80 x 67.6 mm
• Requires a separate mounting frame and cover plate to complete the assembly

Variants

This product is offered in two colour configurations for the same 7-module table mounting box format.

The variant change is the housing colour. The box size, horizontal mounting layout, plastic construction, matt finish, IP20 protection, and the need for a separate mounting frame and cover plate remain the same across both versions.

• VM20787.B, white. This finish keeps the installation light in appearance and works well with white interior fittings, light-coloured furniture, and clean modern switch layouts.
• VM20787, grey. This finish gives a darker look that sits more quietly against grey trim, darker furniture, and technical interior spaces.

Compatibility and fit

This box is intended for modular domestic switching devices and is used as a surface-mounted housing rather than a flush box. The 7-module format matters when matching the box to the frame, cover plate, and device layout you plan to install.

Because the protection rating is IP20, it belongs in dry interior areas rather than exposed decks or washdown zones. It is a sensible match for boats that need switching points at a nav station, cabin work surface, saloon table, or another sheltered location where appearance and access both matter.

Installation and setup

The housing mounts horizontally on the chosen surface, with cable entry brought into the box before the frame and cover plate are fitted. The depth of 67.6 mm should be checked against the available clearance below the mounting surface, especially on furniture with drawers, lockers, or structural members underneath.

For marine refits, this style of box suits projects where drilling into bulkheads is not the preferred approach and where the switch position needs to sit directly on furniture or joinery. It is a good fit for owners and installers working on interior electrical upgrades in enclosed spaces.
