Middle Atlantic FVS15AMPRETRACTOR15FT - FVS-800-RET15F

Middle Atlantic FVS-800-RET15F FlexView Cart Power Cord Retractor

Overview

The Middle Atlantic FVS-800-RET15F is a dedicated power cord retractor designed for the FlexView conferencing cart system. It delivers three NEMA 5-15R outlets on a 1.5 ft (0.5 m) retractable cord — keeping power accessible at the cart without trailing cables across a conference room floor or presentation space. If you're fitting out FlexView-based AV deployments and need integrated power management at the cart level, this is the component that closes that gap.

At 7 lbs (3.2 kg), the FVS-800-RET15F is a purpose-built unit, not a generic aftermarket strip, and it ships with mounting hardware included so the installation team isn't sourcing separate fasteners on site.

Key Features

• Three NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Standard 15-amp receptacles serve display panels, video conferencing peripherals, and laptop power bricks simultaneously — the three-outlet count covers the typical load profile of a FlexView cart without overloading a single circuit leg.
• 1.5 ft Retractable Cord: The short 1.5 ft (0.5 m) cord length is intentional — this retractor is designed to live on the cart, not run across the room. Retraction keeps the cord tight against the cart chassis when the cart moves, eliminating snag points and trip hazards in mobile presentation environments.
• Mounting Hardware Included: Ships complete with hardware, so installation can proceed without a separate parts run. Confirm the mounting pattern matches your specific FlexView cart configuration before ordering.
• Purpose-Built Weight Profile: At 7 lbs (3.2 kg), the unit is substantial enough for stable mounting but sized for cart integration rather than rack or wall surface mounting.
• US-Configured (NEMA 5-15R): Receptacles and cord are wired for North American 120V circuits. This unit is not rated for international deployment — if your project spans international sites, source region-appropriate power accessories instead.

Integration & Compatibility

The FVS-800-RET15F (also searched as FVS 800 RET15F) is part of the Middle Atlantic FlexView conferencing cart ecosystem. It is specifically engineered for the FVS-800 series cart platform. Before specifying this retractor for a build, verify that your cart model accepts this power retractor variant — Middle Atlantic offers multiple FlexView configurations and not every cart variant uses the same retractor mounting scheme.

For integrators building out AV presentation carts and mobile collaboration stations, this retractor pairs with the FlexView cart frame and HuddleShot FC system to provide a fully managed power solution at the cart level. Consider your rack and cart power distribution strategy as part of the broader AV infrastructure plan — the retractor handles local outlet delivery; upstream circuit capacity and PDU design are separate considerations.

If your deployment requires additional AV cart accessories, Middle Atlantic's FlexView line offers coordinated components designed to fit the same chassis without custom fabrication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What outlet type does the FVS-800-RET15F provide?

A: The FVS-800-RET15F provides three NEMA 5-15R receptacles — standard 15-amp North American outlets suitable for displays, laptops, and conferencing peripherals.

Q: How long is the retractable cord on the FVS-800-RET15F?

A: The cord extends 1.5 ft (0.5 m). This short length is by design — the retractor mounts on the cart itself and retracts flush when the cart is in transit.

Q: Does the FVS-800-RET15F ship with mounting hardware?

A: Yes, mounting hardware is included in the box.

Q: Can the FVS-800-RET15F be used internationally?

A: No. This unit is configured for North American 120V/NEMA 5-15R use only and is not rated for international deployment.

Q: Which Middle Atlantic cart is the FVS-800-RET15F compatible with?

A: The FVS-800-RET15F is part of the Middle Atlantic FlexView FVS-800 series cart platform. Verify compatibility with your specific cart configuration before ordering, as Middle Atlantic offers multiple FlexView variants.

The FVS-800-RET15F solves a specific problem I see on nearly every FlexView cart deployment: where does power actually land on the cart surface without creating a cable management mess? The 1.5 ft retractable cord and three NEMA 5-15R outlets mean power stays self-contained at the cart — no extension cords draped across the floor when the cart rolls between rooms.

Technical Highlights:

• Three NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Covers the standard load set for a conferencing cart — one outlet per device (display, codec, laptop) without daisy-chaining strips.
• 1.5 ft Cord with Retraction: Short enough to stay tidy, long enough to reach the wall receptacle directly below or beside the cart. Retraction is the key operational feature — no loose cord dragging when the cart moves.
• 7 lb Build Weight: Solid enough to stay put under normal cart vibration and movement, which matters when the cart is being rolled between conference rooms repeatedly throughout the day.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your specific FVS-800 cart variant accepts this retractor — Middle Atlantic's FlexView line has multiple configurations and mounting schemes are not always interchangeable across the platform.
• This is a US-only unit (NEMA 5-15R, 120V). International or multi-voltage deployments require region-specific power accessories — do not substitute.

The FVS-800-RET15F is the right specification for a permanent FlexView cart installation in a corporate conference room or huddle space where cart mobility is part of the daily workflow and clean cable management is non-negotiable.
