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. The USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC) protocols, delivering 0-50% charge in under 30 minutes for compatible devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential, hospitality and office installation, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box depth (up to 35mm depending on wiring conditions) and uses a screw-fixed rounded-edge cover plate made from premium grade steel. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet. The USB ports provide simultaneous fast charging — 27W over USB-C and 18W over USB-A when both are in use — making the socket suitable for charging laptops, tablets and phones at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black finish provides a low-sheen surface that minimises fingerprints and pairs with contemporary, industrial and monochrome interiors. The black insert behind the matt black faceplate creates a tonal continuity across the wall plate and hides the back of the cover. The socket carries IP20 rating, Over Voltage Category III compliance, and built-in protection against overload, overheat and overcurrent. ErP Ready design consumes only 0.1W in standby mode.\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\u003e87.75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
