Floor socket is an electrical outlet installed on the floor as a replacement for a standard wall socket.
With their installation location that can be on the floor, floor sockets are easier to access by anyone who needs them, especially in commercial environments. Although commonly used in office environments, floor sockets are also very useful in industrial environments because there are various equipment and machines that need to be plugged in at several points in a large room.
Generally, this item has a metal plate that functions to protect the cable and is equipped with a cover to prevent dust and dirt from collecting when the outlet is not in use.
OBO Bettermann, as one of the leading manufacturers of installation systems for building electronic equipment and systems, presents a series of elegant and functional floor socket products. You can find the types and complete specifications of OBO floor sockets in this article!
Difference between Floor Boxes and OBO Floor Sockets
Floor boxes and floor sockets do have almost the same shape, namely both boxes. Because of their similar shapes, many people confuse floor boxes and OBO floor sockets, especially since they are both installed on the floor. However, it turns out that these two items are different!
The main difference between the two is, of course, in their function. Floor boxes are electrical boxes installed on the floor, which provide power and data connections to devices in the room. While floor sockets function to connect devices to a power source and to supply data and energy to the right place when needed. The use of floor sockets also makes the room look neater without dangling cables.
Types of OBO Floor Sockets
You can find OBO floor socket products in the UDHOME product series. This product series places power, data, and multimedia technology right where it is needed. UDHOME OBO floor socket products can be installed directly on the floor and connected with flexible installation pipes. Its elegant and hidden design on the floor makes this floor socket seamlessly integrated with the interior of the room.
The types of OBO floor sockets are UDHOME-ONE, UDHOME2, and GES R2. For the UDHOME-ONE and UDHOME2 floor sockets, they have a small size, suitable for use on dry or wet floors.
