ᐅ Power Supply in the Multimedia Distribution Panel

Hello everyone,

I have been silently reading here for years, but now I need to ask a question and hope to benefit from the collective knowledge here.
We will soon be moving into a new apartment (rental), and finally there will be proper Ethernet wiring. However, I have an issue with the power supply in the multimedia distribution panel there.
Installed is an enclosure from f-tronic with a socket unit that has three Euro sockets, see photo. I will need to plug in at least one Schuko plug for the switch, and depending on the modem, possibly two Schuko plugs. (To avoid questions, it is absolutely planned to use a UniFi Lite 16 PoE.)

I spoke with the electrician responsible about whether it would be possible to install a unit with Schuko sockets instead of the 3 Euro-socket part. He either cannot or, in my impression, does not want to make this change. The electrician’s suggestion was to rewire the cables, so instead of a Schuko, use a Euro plug with PE connected to N. I didn’t find that very good and suspect it may even be prohibited.
So I will solve this issue myself or have access to a certified electrician who will carry out the work.

My further research showed that the installed module internally actually has sockets with protective earth (PE) contacts and the option to connect neutral and PE there, see photos. However, these sockets are covered by a kind of cap from PinFix, which limits the sockets to Euro plugs. These caps cannot be removed by any means. What would be your recommendation to solve this problem?

I also found the module STECKD3K. At first glance, it looks exactly like the installed unit, only with Schuko sockets. According to the manufacturer, however, it is intended for other cabinet series, so I am not sure if it would fit. Can anyone answer this for me?
The manufacturer f-tronic is generally not very helpful. I have not received any response to an inquiry on this issue. Their documentation and product datasheets are of little help.

Thanks in advance and greetings to the admin (BB codes).

If there is no space issue, I would simply plug in a multi-socket extension.
Is there possibly a different cover with Schuko sockets from the manufacturer? You have already asked about that. It would be the easiest solution.

Unfortunately, that’s not possible because there are no multi-socket extensions with Schuko sockets and Europlug connectors, nor are they allowed. The protective earth contact can’t just appear out of nowhere.

I did ask the manufacturer, exactly. However, that was two weeks ago, so I probably won’t get any more information. Their documentation is more embarrassing than helpful.
Installed is a unit from f-tronic: article number 7290113.
There is also this one, but as described above, I can’t find any info if it would fit since it’s only listed as compatible with other cabinet series: article number 7110308.
(Sorry, in this outdated part of the internet, links are not allowed -.-)

Maybe someone here has installed this stuff from f-tronic and knows their way around it?

… and the power strip doesn’t have a Schuko plug?

Other manufacturers offer what you are looking for.
Socket insert media distributor.
But are they compatible?

I would simply connect a different junction box permanently and remove the current one. When moving out, reinstall it.

Yes. I want to know which one, or if the one I mentioned above is compatible.
I have also contacted several suppliers; maybe they know more than the manufacturer.
