Description

The Knightsbridge 13A 1-gang switched socket adds USB-C and USB-A fast charge ports behind an antique brass screwless faceplate. Each USB port delivers up to 18W output per port using USB-PD and Qualcomm Quick Charge protocols, with a combined maximum of 20W when both ports charge simultaneously. The single 13A socket outlet provides standard UK mains power for appliances up to 3,000W.

Designed for bedside tables, study desks and kitchen worktops where a single socket plus device charging is needed, the fast charge capability cuts charging time for compatible smartphones and tablets compared to standard 5W USB ports. The socket uses automatic voltage switching to match the connected device's charging protocol, preventing overcharging. The screwless cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame, leaving no visible fixings on the wall once installed.

The antique brass finish is achieved through a chemical patina applied to 201 stainless steel, giving a warm aged-metal appearance that develops slight tonal variation across the surface. The finish pairs well with period, classical and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The black insert behind the faceplate defines each outlet aperture and hides the back of the cover plate. The 4.3mm projection from the wall keeps the socket low-profile on surface-mounted installations.

The socket requires a 25-35mm back box depending on cable run and wiring conditions. The USB ports are rated CAT III for overvoltage protection, and Knightsbridge recommends using certified USB cables rated 30W or above to achieve full fast-charge performance without voltage drop.

Frequently Asked

What is the fast charge output?

Each USB port delivers up to 18W maximum output (12V at 1.5A). When both ports charge devices simultaneously, the combined output is limited to 20W shared between the two ports. The socket supports USB-PD and Qualcomm Quick Charge protocols for compatible devices.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum 25mm back box is required, with 35mm preferred when dealing with multiple cable runs or tight wiring conditions. The socket's recessed depth is 33.8mm, so adequate clearance behind the faceplate is essential for safe installation.

Is the screwless plate removable?

Yes. The antique brass cover plate clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The cover can be removed for painting or decorating around the socket and re-clipped without disturbing the wiring.

Do I need special USB cables for fast charging?

Knightsbridge recommends using certified USB cables rated 30W or above to achieve full fast-charge performance. Lower-rated cables may limit charging speed due to voltage drop along the cable run, even when the socket itself supports higher output.
