Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang SP switched socket adds one USB-A and one USB-C charging port behind a polished brass flat plate faceplate with black insert. The single-pole switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, while the dual USB ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output for charging phones, tablets and portable devices without needing a separate plug adapter.
Designed for residential installation in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and home offices, the socket fits a standard 25-35mm back box depending on wiring conditions. The flat plate design sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall surface once fitted, giving an ultra-low profile that works well in contemporary interiors where minimal projection is preferred. The polished brass faceplate with matching brass rockers provides a warm metallic accent that pairs well with traditional, classical and warm-toned modern interiors.
The black insert behind the brass faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture and switch rocker. The USB-C port supports modern fast-charge protocols, while the USB-A retains compatibility with older cables and devices. Both USB ports share a combined 4.0A output, so charging speed adjusts depending on whether one or two devices are connected simultaneously. The premium-grade steel construction carries a Class I rating and IP20 ingress protection for standard indoor use.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25-35mm back box depth is needed depending on wiring conditions. The flat plate adds just 2.5mm projection from the wall once fitted.
What's the USB charging output?
The dual USB ports share a combined 5V DC 4.0A output. When one device is connected, it receives the full 4.0A. When two devices are connected simultaneously, the output is shared between them.
What's the difference between SP and DP switching?
This socket uses single-pole (SP) switching, which isolates the live line when switched off. Dual-pole (DP) switching isolates both live and neutral, providing additional safety for high-draw appliances. SP switching is standard for most domestic applications.
