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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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\u003e85.75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
