Scame Frames for switches and sockets

scame frames switches and sockets overview and design logic

Specifiers use this platform when they want one visual language across rooms and a fixing geometry that never surprises the installer. Frames and plates share 60 mm European fixing centres and land cleanly on standard 68 mm boxes. Widths cover 1–5-gang horizontals plus selected vertical stacks for narrow piers. Modules latch positively, so swaps (USB-C chargers, indicators, keycards) don’t disturb the wall. Profiles keep total projection tight for corridors, while bezel tolerances hide minor substrate errors—handy on tiled or uneven masonry.

Product range and series overview

The family splits into three practical groups.
Residential/office fronts carry rockers, scene pushbuttons, power outlets, and low-profile data ports with matching bezels. Hospitality/retail fronts add keycard holders, illuminated calls, and branded info plates for guest areas and meeting rooms. Utility/back-of-house favours tougher surfaces and splash-resistant trims that still fit the same cut-outs, so spares stay lean and maintenance teams don’t juggle alternate part systems.

scame cover frames finishes, sizes, and geometry

Matte white and black remain the staples; graphite and brushed metallic accents serve public-side zones. Single through 5-gang frames share one inner aperture height so any mechanism sits consistently across the building. Halogen-free options are available for low-smoke projects; UV-stabilised fronts resist yellowing near glazing. Where wash-adjacent use is expected, select IP44 trims with gasketed covers; typical impact resistance reaches IK07–IK08 for trolley corridors.

scame modular plates formats and multi-gang options

Plates accept the full mix—1-pole, 2-way, intermediate and momentary switches; Schuko/French/Italian outlets; USB-A/C chargers (including Type-C PD 20–30 W models, line-dependent); indicator and locator LEDs; and blank fillers for growth. Multi-gang plates ship with long-slot tolerance for quick levelling. Through-wiring space behind sockets suits 2.5 mm² loop-through; labels sit under clear windows where housekeeping teams need durable legends.

scame switch & socket frames installation details

Backboxes follow the usual 60 mm centres; drywall versions use 68 mm hole saws, masonry boxes rely on deep claws and levelling slots. Terminals on mechanisms accept 1.5–2.5 mm²; captive screws are standard with cage-clamp variants for fast second-fix. Mechanical endurance targets ≥ 50,000 operations on switch rockers. For mixed loads (drivers, small fans), 10AX at 250 V AC mechanisms are used; socket inserts rate 16 A at 250 V AC with child shutters and optional medical-green dot variants.

Technical specifications and standards

Materials PC/ABS mechanisms; halogen-free face options; contact silvering to minimise heating on continuous loads.
Ingress/impact IP20 interiors; IP44 with spring lids in washrooms and back-of-house; enclosed service units extend to IP55–IP66 when needed. Impact to IK07–IK08 where specified.
Thermal envelope −5…+40 °C typical; keep insulation clear behind USB-power locations to preserve de-rating margins.
Cut-out and alignment 60 mm fixing centres, 68 mm hole saw; long-slot plates correct substrate drift over multi-gang runs.
Norm pointers kept short Switches align to IEC/EN 60669-1, outlets to IEC/EN 60884-1, boxes/supports to IEC/EN 60670, ingress per IEC/EN 60529, glow-wire to IEC 60695 series.
Where procurement drawings call out pre-rig frames for rough-in, many schedules list scame installation frames to reserve positions before the final front finishes arrive.

Applications and compatibility

Office floors: two-way/intermediate switching for corridors, scene buttons in meeting rooms, mixed power/data in workstation clusters.
Hospitality: keycard energy savers at doors, USB-C bedside, IP44 outlets in vanity zones.
Retail/back-of-house: gasketed fronts near sinks, robust outlets in prep, status indicators on cleaners’ cupboards.
A single geometry across frames, modules, and boxes means premium fronts can run public-side while utility fronts handle service spaces—no method change for installers. Designers use scame decorative frames to lift reception and lift-lobby sightlines without breaking the grid used elsewhere.

Integration with other brand products

Wiring-device frames align with Scame isolators, EV outlets, and enclosure ranges—same gland threads, module widths, and neutral colour palette. Momentary and indicator modules provide clean dry-contact interfacing to lighting control or BMS; USB power modules share 16 A spurs with desk electrics where diversity is accounted for. Frames line up visually with Scame installation boxes and distribution boards, keeping labels, screws, and torque tooling consistent.

Selection criteria for B2B clients

Function map Room-by-room define 1-pole/2-way/intermediate, dimming or scene, and power/USB counts; plan spare slots for growth.
Environment Use IP20 in dry zones; IP44 near water/cleaning; IK-rated fronts along trolley and luggage routes.
Grid and orientation Confirm 1–5-gang horizontals vs vertical stacks for narrow piers; maintain power/data segregation where IT requires it.
Wiring method Select screw vs cage-clamp by contractor preference; verify loop-through space when socket rows share one feed.
Finish strategy Standardise one public palette and one utility finish per floor to simplify spares and future MAC.
Logistics Pre-kit room types (e.g., workstation, bedside, washroom) so second-fix runs fast and labels match the lighting schedule.
