Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang DP switched socket adds one USB-A and one USB-C fast charge port behind an antique brass rounded edge faceplate with a black insert. The USB-C port delivers up to 45W output and the USB-A delivers up to 18W, allowing simultaneous fast charging of two devices without needing plug-in adapters. The dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the socket is switched off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances.
Designed for domestic, hospitality and commercial installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth and uses a rounded edge faceplate that softens the profile against the wall compared to sharp-cornered plates. The black insert behind the brass faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. The 13A rating on each gang handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.
The antique brass finish provides a warm, aged metallic accent that pairs well with traditional, heritage and warm-toned contemporary interiors. The premium grade steel construction resists daily wear in high-traffic areas such as hotel rooms, restaurant seating areas and office hot-desking stations. The socket carries overload, overheat and over-current protection, with Over Voltage Category III compliance for use on standard UK mains supply. ErP certification confirms low standby power consumption when no devices are charging.
The adaptive voltage delivery on both USB ports adjusts output to match the connected device, optimising charge speed within the device's rated capacity. Fast charge protocols work most effectively on devices with battery levels between 0-70%, with charging speed tapering as the battery approaches full capacity. Certified USB cables are recommended for optimal performance.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation, with 35mm recommended where wiring conditions require more space for cable runs. The faceplate adds 10.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted.
What's the USB charging output?
The USB-C port delivers up to 45W and the USB-A port delivers up to 18W. Both ports support adaptive voltage delivery, adjusting output to match the connected device's rated capacity and optimising charge speed within the device's safe limits.
Does fast charging work on all devices?
Fast charge protocols work on devices that support USB Power Delivery (USB-C) or Quick Charge (USB-A). Devices without these protocols will charge at their standard rate. Fast charging is most effective when battery levels are between 0-70%, tapering as the battery approaches full capacity.
