Rutenbeck Frames for switches and sockets

rutenbeck frames switches and sockets overview

Fit‑out teams specify Rutenbeck when they need clean lines, stable mechanics, and fast installation in European wall boxes. The platform is built around 55×55 mm modules with multi‑gang frames, adapters for 45×45 inserts, and cover solutions that stay flush on uneven plaster while keeping labeling neat and service access predictable.

rutenbeck decorative frames materials and finishes

Single to 5‑gang frames in matched geometries for horizontal or vertical runs. Front parts use UV‑stable PC/ABS or thermoset trim with scratch‑resistant lacquer; premium series add brushed‑metal looks or glass options. Color families are production‑controlled so new batches track existing sites with minimal ΔE drift. Antibacterial coatings are available for healthcare and food areas. Edge radii and chamfers are designed to hide wall tolerances without gapping.

rutenbeck modular frame systems technical specifications and standards

• Module geometry: 55×55 mm window with adapters for 45×45 modules; multi‑gang frames respect 71 mm center spacing across boxes. True‑level carriers compensate wall variance.
• Back‑box interface: EU boxes Ø68 mm with 60 mm screw spacing; claw or screw fixation depending on substrate. Deep boxes ≥60 mm recommended where power, USB, and data share a frame.
• Ingress & impact: indoor IP20 baseline; splash‑zone kits lift to IP44 with gasketed frames. Impact behaviour commonly aligns with IK07–IK08 requirements.
• Electrical context: when populated with switches/outlets, assemblies follow EN 60669‑1 (switches) and IEC/EN 60884‑1 (socket‑outlets). Data apertures suit keystones per IEC 60603‑7.
• Fire & materials: front plastics offered in halogen‑free families; selected ranges meet UL 94 V‑0. Surfaces resist common facility cleaners.
• Temperature & environment: typical service −5…+40 °C indoors; avoid direct steam/jet‑wash unless IP44 kits are specified.

Installer note: align frames to the most visible reference (tile grout or furniture line), not only to box axes—tolerance will read cleaner in corridors

rutenbeck cover plates applications and compatibility

• Hotels and apartments: multi‑gang lines combining switching, sockets, USB charging, and data; locator symbols or subtle legends aid night use.
• Retail and office workspaces: angled apertures reduce plug protrusion behind fixtures; colorways coordinate with brand interiors.
• Healthcare and education: antibacterial faces and IP44 kits near sinks and corridors; high‑contrast legends support wayfinding.

Inserts from the same ecosystem (switches, socket‑outlets, USB, keystones, TV/FM/SAT) seat under these frames, so spares, tools, and labeling stay consistent across sites

Integration with other brand products

Frames pair cleanly with structured cabling components and building controls specified elsewhere on the project. Keep SELV/ELV runs in separate conduits from mains to maintain EMC and inspection compliance. For blind motors or shutters, use momentary/rocker inserts with upstream actuators and record positions in the as‑built drawings.

Selection criteria for B2B clients

1. Gang count and layout — plan 1–5 positions early and reserve space for chargers/data to avoid later cut‑outs and furniture clashes.
2. Ingress and hygiene — IP20 for dry rooms; IP44 gaskets in splash areas; antibacterial surfaces for healthcare/food.
3. Fniish durability — choose lacquers or metal/glass series where cleaning agents are routine; keep one colorway per estate for spare interchangeability.
4. Box depth and cable bend — deep boxes for mixed power/USB/data; use angled apertures to protect bend radius.
5. Mounting tolerance — pick frames/carriers with level compensation on uneven plaster; use multi‑gang brackets to hold 71 mm spacing during install.

Procurement typically standardizes one 55×55 frame family, a complementary 45×45 adapter line, and two finishes (white and anthracite) to keep inventory lean while covering most rooms.
