Overview
The Vimar Arké 19652 is a 2-central-module cover plate used to finish a two-module Arké switch or outlet position with a clean, flush-looking front. The plate face measures 122 x 90 mm, and it can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on how your devices are laid out.
This is a trim plate rather than a sealed exterior component (IP00). On board, it makes the most sense in protected interior locations where the electrical box and mechanisms provide the real protection from moisture, vibration, and movement. Plate depth varies slightly by finish, typically around 8.6 to 9.1 mm.
Key features
- 2-central-module cover plate format for Vimar Arké wiring devices (2-module position)
- Overall face size 122 x 90 mm; mounts in either horizontal or vertical orientation
- Clamp mounting to the matching Arké support/frame for a tight, even fit
- Wide finish range across metal, technopolymer, and solid wood options depending on variant
- IP00 rating: decorative cover plate only, so placement and enclosure choice matter in damp areas
- Suitable for built-in installations and systems that use wall ducting or floor box layouts
Variants
This cover plate is offered in many surface finishes, and the visible colour and material are what change between versions.
Finishes in the range include metal looks such as Aluminium, Black Chrome, Black Nickel, Brushed Brass, Brushed Copper, Brushed Inox, Dark Bronze, and several matt tones, plus technopolymer colours (including Reflex shades) and solid wood finishes like Cherrywood, Larch, and Wengue. The 2-central-module footprint stays the same across the range, while depth can vary slightly by finish.
Compatibility and fit
This plate is sized for the Vimar Arké 2-central-module format, so it needs to be paired with the correct Arké support/frame and Arké mechanisms behind it. If you are replacing an existing plate, confirm you have a 2-module Arké opening and that the devices sit square, since small alignment issues show up quickly on a flush cover plate.
Installation and setup
Install and test the Arké mechanisms first, then fit the cover plate last. With clamp mounting, the plate presses into place on the support/frame, so you can remove it later for servicing without disturbing the wiring devices.
Because the plate itself is not weather-sealed, keep it out of direct spray and washdown zones. In heads, galleys, or near companionways, make sure the underlying box and device selection are appropriate for the location and that cable entries are managed to limit drips and condensation.
Use cases on board
This is a practical choice for bringing a consistent finish to Arké switch and outlet points in cabins, the saloon, nav station, and other interior panels where you want a neat, uniform look across multiple positions. It also suits refits where the boat already uses Arké devices and you want to match new work to existing plates.
Maintenance and care
Wipe with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads and aggressive solvents that can mark lacquered metal finishes, dull technopolymer surfaces, or dry out untreated wood over time.
