PANDORA is an exciting solution from OE Electrics for providing power and USB charging in meeting areas. Fitting neatly into a 128mm+ grommet hole with a near flush profile when closed, PANDORA rotates open to provide 360° socket access.
Great looks, simple installation and a choice of international power sockets, our class leading 25W TUF USB charger, and data/AV connectivity makes PANDORA perfectly suited to meeting tables, informal break out areas, and use in cafés and hotels .
PANDORA is moulded in either white (9003) or black PC/ABS for both excellent durability and appearance. As an alternative to the standard textured finish, the clean profile of PANDORA when not in use can be enhanced by optional brushed stainless steel inlays.

Configuration:
PANDORA’s three socket apertures can be configured with any combination of AC power sockets from the OE Electrics 42mm international range and the class leading TUF25W USB charger. Optionally one socket aperture can comprise a switch or thermal MCB, 2 cat5e data, single or twin USB or a single HDMI.
Construction:
Body and grommet – Fire retardant PC/ABS Securing nut – Nylon 6
Colours
Body and grommet: White (9003) or Black Socket Fascias: Black or grey Inlays: Brushed stainless steel (standard) or painted (optional)
Socket Fusing:
To enable compliance to BS6396 UK sockets are fitted with 5 x 20mm anti-surge ceramic fuses, with colour-coded fuse clips to denote the rating (3.15A/5A)
Power cord options:
PANDORA may be hardwired to: – Mains AC plug, or for soft wiring – Wieland GST18 male connector for “soft wiring” e.g. connection to an under desk power modules or direct to a floor socket via a starter cable. – OE J Coupler for connecting two or more PANDORA units to a single mains supply socket
Quality and Testing:
All PANDORA units are manufactured using ISO9001 quality controlled components and practices and are 100% tested before dispatch.
- Visual: Configuration and appearance
- Mechanical: correct operation of rotating mechanism
- Power sockets: Continuity, polarity, insulation & earth
- USB charger: Output voltage and resistance
“We test every pin on every connection in every socket”
CE Marking
All units built with UK and European socket types are CE marked by OE Electrics as complying with: – Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU – Low Voltage Equipment Directive 2014/35/EU – RoHS2 Directive 2011/65/EU
Certifications
AC Power sockets: The fitted sockets will be certified to the appropriate national/international standard eg: BS1363/5733, IEC60884-1, UL498, CCC, AS/NZS3112 OE TUF 25W: Independently certified to IEC/UL 62368-1. Cable, connectors & mains plug: Independently certified to the appropriate national/international standard Wieland connectors – IEC 61535
PANDORA drops into a 128mm* grommet hole e.g. in a table top and is then secured by tightening by hand the securing nut. No tools are needed once the grommet hole is cut, but access below/behind the fixing surface is required. Alternatively, a PANDORA with the inlay type grommet can be fixed to a surface via four screws without rear access being needed. The inlays will then cover the screw heads.

For both fitting methods, it is recommended that the cable to the rear of the panel, next to PANDORA’s hinge, is secured using the accompanying Cable Cleat, to prevent drag on the hinge mechanism.
*A 5” (127mm) hole saw will usually achieve a 128mm hole. If the hole is to be CNC machined, please cut a 128mm hole.
