The module provides a single 13A power outlet rated at 230V 50Hz, certified to BS 1363 for safe operation with standard UK plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential and commercial installations where modular flexibility is required, this socket module integrates into grid systems that allow multiple functions to be combined within a single faceplate. Common applications include kitchen worktops where power, USB charging and data connections need to sit together, home offices requiring mixed power and network access, and hospitality settings where flexibility in outlet configuration reduces installation complexity. The unswitched design means the socket is permanently live when the circuit is energised, suitable where appliances remain plugged in continuously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ABS construction provides impact resistance and dimensional stability, while the grey insert finish coordinates with grey and silver-toned grid faceplates from Knightsbridge's modular ranges. The 28mm recessed depth requires a minimum 35mm back box, and screw terminals accept conductor sizes typical of UK domestic and commercial ring final circuits. The IP20 rating confirms suitability for general indoor dry locations but not for bathrooms, outdoor use, or areas subject to moisture ingress.\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\u003e50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

Multiple modules can be combined in one faceplate, allowing you to configure power, data, TV, USB and switching functions in any combination.
