Vimar Idea 6-Module Table Mounting Box, For Classica Cover Plates, Cord-Grip, IP20, Plastic, 121.6 x 110.8 x 77.4 mm

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16806 is a 6-module table mounting box with a cord-grip for cable strain relief. It creates a clean, surface-mounted enclosure for a 6-module device set in a 121.60 mm wide by 110.80 mm tall body with 77.40 mm depth, keeping terminations protected inside the housing.

This box is suitable only for Classica cover plates, so it is meant for installs where you are building out a Vimar Idea/Classica module group on a flat surface like a nav desk, inside a console top, or on cabin furniture where a flush box is not practical.

With an IP20 rating, it is intended for interior and sheltered locations onboard. It is not a sealed enclosure, so it should be kept away from direct spray, washdowns, and dripping lockers.

Key features

• 6-module format for Vimar modular domestic switching devices
• Horizontal mounting orientation for table or desktop layouts
• Cable entry with cord-grip to reduce strain on wiring and terminals
• IP20 protection level for protected interior installations
• Plastic housing with a matt finish that is halogen-free and shock resistant
• Cover frame is not included and the fit is intended for Classica cover plates

Variants

This table mounting box is offered in multiple configurations to match common interior finishes on boats using Vimar Idea/Classica hardware.

The option that varies between versions is the housing color.

• VM16806.B - Color: White. A light finish that blends well with white plates and bright cabin interiors.
• VM16806 - Color: Gray. A darker finish close to RAL 7015 that pairs neatly with grey plates and helm or nav station panels.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your device layout is a 6-module build and that you are using the correct Classica cover plate format, since this housing is specified for Classica plates only. The overall body size (121.60 mm x 110.80 mm) and the 77.40 mm depth are the key checks when you are fitting it on a table edge, console shelf, or inside a furniture panel where wiring needs room to bend without being pinched.

This is a mechanical enclosure, so it does not set electrical ratings by itself. Match the modules you plan to install to your onboard system (12V DC, 24V DC, or AC) and to the circuit protection you are using.

Installation and setup

Plan the cable route first, then bring the feed in through the cable entry and secure it with the built-in cord-grip so movement of the wire does not transfer to the terminals. On boats, supporting the cable run near the box helps reduce vibration stress over time.

Because IP20 is meant for protected locations, place the box where it will not see spray or frequent wet cleaning, such as in the cabin, at the chart table, or inside a sheltered helm console.

Use cases on board

This style of table box is a practical way to add a switch bank, outlets, or other Vimar modules on surfaces that are already finished and difficult to cut for a flush box. It is a good match for refits where you want a neat, surface-mounted control point in a dry, sheltered area and you are standardizing the boat on Vimar Idea/Classica modules and plates.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
