Sliding Power Outlet Philippines: The Flexible Socket System
Outlets that slide, move, and multiply. Add power exactly where you need it, then reposition anytime.
If you've been searching for "sliding power outlet" or "moveable outlet," you're looking for a power solution that adapts to your life instead of forcing you to adapt to it.
Fixed wall outlets don't move. Your furniture does. Your devices multiply. And somehow, the outlet is never where you need it.
Sliding power outlets solve this. They're part of a track system that lets you add outlets anywhere along a rail, slide them to the exact position you need, and add more whenever you want.
What Is a Sliding Power Outlet?
A sliding power outlet is a socket that clicks into a power track and can be repositioned anywhere along that track. The track is the power source; the outlets are modular units that draw power wherever they're placed.
⚡ How the Power Track System Works
- The track: A slim rail (about 3cm tall) that mounts to your wall, under your desk, or along your backsplash. The track carries power along its entire length.
- The sockets: Individual outlet modules that click into the track. Each socket can be positioned anywhere and repositioned anytime.
- The flexibility: Need an outlet 10cm to the left? Just slide it. Need two more outlets? Click them in. No electrician required.
💡 Key Difference: Unlike pop-up outlets or extension cords, sliding power outlets are a permanent, safe, IEC-certified system. They're not a workaround—they're an upgrade to how power distribution works in your home.
How Sliding Power Outlets Work
Track Mounts to Surface
The power track mounts to your wall, under cabinets, along a backsplash, or under your desk edge. It connects to your electrical system through a single feed point.
Sockets Click Into Track
Individual socket modules click into the track wherever you want them. A simple twist-lock mechanism secures each socket in place while allowing it to slide when unlocked.
Slide to Reposition
Need to move an outlet? Unlock it (a simple quarter-turn), slide it to the new position, and lock it back in place. Takes seconds, no tools required.
Add More Anytime
Bought a new appliance? Just click in another socket. There's no limit to how many sockets you can add along the track (up to the 32-amp total capacity).
Kitchen installation in Pasig: Sockets positioned exactly where each appliance sits. When the homeowner rearranged the counter, the sockets slid to match.
Sliding Power Outlets vs. Fixed Wall Outlets
❌ Fixed Wall Outlets
- Position locked at installation
- Adding outlets requires electrician
- Wall work, patching, repainting
- Extension cords to reach devices
- Furniture arrangement limited by outlet positions
- 1-2 sockets per outlet typical
- ₱3,000-5,000 per new outlet installed
✓ Sliding Power Outlets
- Reposition anytime, no tools
- Add sockets yourself, instantly
- No wall damage, surface mounts
- Short cables, devices plug in where they sit
- Furniture goes anywhere, outlets follow
- Unlimited sockets along track
- ₱1,600 per additional socket
✅ The Math: Adding 4 wall outlets costs ₱12,000-20,000 plus wall repairs. A 1.5-meter power track with 6 sliding sockets costs about ₱18,585—and you can add more sockets or reposition them forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can sockets slide while devices are plugged in?
No—and that's intentional for safety. Each socket has a locking mechanism. You unlock it to slide (a quarter-turn), reposition, then lock it back. This prevents accidental movement while devices are connected.
Is it safe to have power running along the entire track?
Yes. The track is IEC 61534-1 certified, the international safety standard specifically for power track systems. The energized conductors are recessed inside the track profile, inaccessible from outside. Only the socket connection mechanism makes contact, and sockets have safety shutters.
How many sockets can I add to one track?
As many as physically fit. The limitation is total power draw (32 amps), not the number of sockets. For typical home use—laptops, phone chargers, small appliances—you'll never approach the limit even with 10+ sockets.
Can I install this myself?
The track mounting is DIY-friendly (similar to mounting a shelf). The electrical connection should be done by a licensed electrician or through our professional installation service to ensure it's properly connected to your home's electrical system.
What if I need outlets in different positions on different days?
That's exactly what this system is for. Slide outlets to where you need them today, reposition tomorrow. No tools required for repositioning—just unlock, slide, lock.
Will this work with Philippine plugs?
Yes. The universal sockets accept Type A (US flat), Type B (US grounded), Type C (Euro round), and most other common plug types used in the Philippines.
