Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ Series is a range of flush-mounted 2-module USB-C power supply units with USB Power Delivery, offered in 30W and 60W versions for 120 to 240V AC, 50/60Hz systems. Each unit has one USB-C output and fits the ARKÉ modular format, so it gives you a built-in charging point instead of relying on loose plug-in adapters.

For boat installations, this is an AC-side charging point rather than a 12V or 24V DC charger. It suits protected interior spaces such as cabins, berths, saloons, and chart tables where the boat already has AC supply from shore power, an inverter, or a generator. Protection rating depends on version, with 30W models listed at IP40 and 60W models listed at IP20.

Key features

• Single USB-C output with USB Power Delivery
• Available in 30W and 60W versions
• 120 to 240V AC, 50/60Hz input for boats with an onboard AC system
• Flush-mounted 2-module ARKÉ format with screw-terminal connection
• 30W versions are listed at IP40
• 60W versions are listed at IP20 with 5 to 20V output and up to 3000 mA
• Available finishes across the range: grey, metal, and white

Variants

This range varies by power level and finish. The six configurations cover 30W or 60W output, and each power level is available in grey, metal, or white, so the visible finish can match the rest of the switchgear while the charging capacity matches the devices being used.

The 30W and 60W versions also differ in fit details. The 30W versions are listed with IP40 protection and a minimum built-in box depth of 37 mm. The 60W versions are listed with IP20 protection, measure about 44.8 x 49 x 42.3 mm, and use a minimum built-in box depth of 32.2 mm.

Compatibility and fit

This unit range is intended for Vimar ARKÉ 2-module installations and uses screw terminals for the AC feed. Across the range, the front size stays close to 49 mm high and about 44.7 to 44.8 mm wide, with body depth around 41.85 to 42.3 mm depending on version, so box depth is worth checking before ordering for a refit.

Because these are flush-mounted interior devices, they make more sense in accommodation and enclosed living spaces than in open cockpits or other areas exposed to spray and washdown.

Electrical and system integration

The main fit question on a boat is the supply side. These units need 120 to 240V AC at 50/60Hz, so they belong on the boat's AC circuit and not on a direct 12V or 24V DC service. That makes them a neat option where crew want direct USB-C charging without carrying separate power bricks for phones, tablets, cameras, and other USB-C devices.

The 60W versions are the higher-output models in the range and are better aligned with heavier USB-C charging loads, including many tablets and laptops. The 30W versions suit lower-demand charging points where the same ARKÉ look is wanted in a lighter-duty outlet.

Use on board

This range is a good match for owners and installers who are building out clean interior charging points in cabins and living spaces and want them to sit within the Vimar ARKÉ modular system. It also suits refit work where a boat already uses ARKÉ devices and the goal is to add USB-C charging without changing the look of the surrounding switches and sockets.
