{"product_id":"10ax-intermediate-switch-module-white","title":"10AX Intermediate Switch Module - White","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge 10AX intermediate switch module adds a third switching position to a lighting circuit within a multi-gang curved-edge faceplate. Where a standard two-way switching setup controls a light from two positions, inserting this intermediate module between the two existing switches allows control from three or more points along the same circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation in hallways, staircases and landings where lighting needs to be controlled from multiple access points, the module fits Knightsbridge curved-edge grid plates in 2-gang, 3-gang, 4-gang and 6-gang configurations. The white thermoset resin construction is rated at 10AX on 230V mains, handling resistive loads up to 2,300W. The module measures 60mm high by 16mm wide and requires a minimum 16mm back box depth, making it compatible with shallow-depth installation boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white finish integrates with existing white grid plates and modules in the same range. Thermoset resin provides better heat dissipation than thermoplastic alternatives, maintaining dimensional stability under sustained electrical load. The module carries IP20 ingress protection for standard indoor dry locations and is certified to EN 60669-1. Anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011 reduce bacterial growth on the surface, which is particularly relevant in high-traffic areas like corridors and stairwells. Knightsbridge backs the module with a 25-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

An intermediate switch sits between two 2-way switches to add a third control position or more. You need two 2-way switches at the start and end of the circuit, with intermediate modules in between for each additional switching point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat grid plates is this compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module fits Knightsbridge curved-edge grid plates in 2-gang, 3-gang, 4-gang and 6-gang configurations.
