Pivoting Outlet/Data Strip, Recess Mount - Pro Value Series ART-918PB-EL/MF

Pivoting Outlet Data Strip For Discreet Power

Pivoting outlet data strip, recess mount - Pro Value Series ART-918PB-EL/MF provides a compact way to bring power and data to a work surface while keeping the face of the strip out of the way when not needed. The strip operates at 125 volts AC, 60 Hz, and 15 amps, so it supports typical office and shop task loads in a standard circuit. A red arrow button hides the outlets when pressed, which keeps the working edge clear and reduces exposure of the connections during downtime. A light indicator is on when the outlet strip is plugged in, giving a quick visual confirmation that power is present before devices are connected.

Power And Data Details That Support Daily Use

• The strip provides three grounded sockets with safety tabs, so standard plugs can be connected while the tabs add a barrier over unused openings during routine work.
• One USB port rated at 1 amp supplies basic device charging or low-draw electronics support where a full charger brick would crowd limited space.
• One female VGA port, paired with the dedicated VGA cord, routes video signals through the strip so display connections stay near the working edge.
• One HDMI port, combined with the HDMI cord, carries digital audio and video at the strip location to simplify workstation hookups.
• Two audio/microphone ports, with the matching audio/microphone cord, centralize sound connections at the same point as power and data.
• One RJ45 and one RJ11 port, tied to their respective cords, place network and telephone terminations at the same recessed strip for tidy cable runs.

Recess Mount Layout And Corded Power Connection

The recess mount design lets the pivoting outlet/data strip sit down into a surface cutout so the body of the unit does not stand proud of the work area. A 72 inch grounded power cord connects the strip to a 125 volt AC supply, giving flexibility in positioning the unit relative to a nearby receptacle while keeping the power feed grounded. The hide-outlet action operated by the red arrow button pivots the active face into a hidden position, which keeps the top profile cleaner around adjacent equipment and materials between uses.

How This Recessed Power Strip Works On The Job

Where The Pivoting Outlet Strip Fits Best

The Pro Value Series pivoting outlet/data strip, recess mount ART-918PB-EL/MF sits into a recess so the active face can rotate up for use and down for a hidden position. This layout supports work surfaces where power, video, audio, network, and telephone need to be available near the user yet stored out of the immediate work line when idle. Three grounded sockets with safety tabs provide a central point for tools or electronics while unused socket openings remain shielded. The built-in USB port at 1 amp gives a simple way to power or trickle-charge compatible devices without adding a separate charger body on the surface. A dedicated female VGA port with the matching VGA cord, an HDMI port with its cord, dual audio/microphone ports with their cord, plus RJ45 and RJ11 ports with their cords, together consolidate signal connections into a single recessed location.

Why The Electrical And Data Features Matter

The 125 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp rating aligns with common branch circuits, so the strip can serve typical office equipment and light-duty tools within that load range. The light indicator that is on when the strip is plugged in provides an immediate check that power is present at the unit before anything is powered up. Using grounded sockets with safety tabs supports grounded plugs while limiting access to unused slots during normal operation. The single USB port rated at 1 amp focuses on lower-draw devices, which suits tasks like keeping a small electronic device powered alongside main equipment. VGA, HDMI, audio/microphone, RJ45, and RJ11 ports tied to their corresponding cords route those signals through the strip, enabling a neater cable path from source devices to displays, audio gear, network, or phone terminations at the work edge.
