The Siemens 5UB1855-1 is the silver variant of the DELTA style SCHUKO socket with increased touch protection. Rated at 16A/250V for indoor flush-mount use, it pairs enhanced contact safety with a neutral metallic finish for commercial IT and office environments.

Why silver for touch-protected sockets in IT environments?

In German installation convention, silver and white sockets are the standard choices for IT/EDV circuits. When the same IT installation also requires enhanced contact safety — for example, server rooms with accessible floor-level sockets, co-location facilities, or IT training classrooms — the 5UB1855-1 provides both the conventional silver IT-circuit visual cue and the deeper-set contacts. The metallic silver finish also coordinates with the stainless steel enclosures and aluminum cable management typical of data center and network closet fit-outs.
