Description

The Knightsbridge CL9965MBB is a 13A 2-gang DP switched socket with two USB-C fast charge ports built into a matt black 304 stainless steel faceplate. Each USB-C port delivers up to 65W output when used individually, or simultaneous charging at 45W plus 18W when both ports are in use. The dual USB-C configuration supports USB-PD (Power Delivery) and PPS (Programmable Power Supply) protocols, making the socket compatible with laptops, tablets, smartphones and other USB-C devices that require fast charging.

Designed for residential kitchens, home offices, hospitality rooms and commercial environments where fast device charging is needed alongside mains power, the socket fits a standard 25-35mm back box depending on wiring conditions. The dual-pole switching isolates both live and neutral when the socket is off, providing additional safety over single-pole designs for high-draw appliances. The rounded-edge faceplate measures 146.5mm wide by 85.75mm high with a 12.9mm projection from the wall once fitted.

The matt black finish on the 304 stainless steel plate provides a hard-wearing surface that resists fingerprints and scratches better than powder-coated alternatives. The plate depth of 7.5mm gives a solid presence without excessive wall projection, and the Class I construction includes an earth terminal for safe installation. Overvoltage protection rated to CAT III guards connected devices against mains spikes. For optimal fast-charging performance, Knightsbridge recommends pairing the socket with USB-C cables rated for 100W or higher.

Frequently Asked

What fast-charge protocols does it support?

The dual USB-C ports support USB-PD (Power Delivery) and PPS (Programmable Power Supply) protocols. This makes the socket compatible with fast-charging laptops, tablets and smartphones that use these standards. Each port delivers up to 65W individually, or 45W plus 18W when both are in use simultaneously.

What back box depth is required?

A minimum back box depth of 25-35mm is needed, depending on wiring conditions. The socket has a recessed depth of 21.5mm and projects 12.9mm from the wall once installed.

Why is the faceplate made from stainless steel rather than brass?

304 stainless steel provides superior durability and scratch resistance compared to brass or plated alternatives. The matt black finish is applied to the steel substrate, creating a hard-wearing surface that resists fingerprints and maintains its appearance in high-use areas like kitchens and offices.

What cable rating is recommended for the USB-C ports?

Knightsbridge recommends USB-C cables rated for 100W or higher to ensure optimal fast-charging performance. Lower-rated cables may limit charging speed or cause the port to throttle output to a safe level for the cable's capacity.
