Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang SP switched socket adds one USB-A and one USB-C charging port behind a polished chrome flat plate with a grey insert. The dual USB ports share a 5V 4A output, allowing simultaneous charging of two devices with the combined current distributed between them. Single-pole switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, while the neutral remains connected.
Designed for kitchens, home offices, hallways and shared family spaces where multiple devices need charging alongside standard appliances, the socket fits a 25-35mm back box depending on cable routing. The flat plate design projects just 2.5mm from the wall surface, sitting nearly flush for a minimal profile in contemporary interiors. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.
The polished chrome finish provides a cool metallic accent that pairs well with modern, industrial and monochrome interiors. The grey insert behind the chrome faceplate hides the back of the cover plate and gives a defined edge to each outlet aperture. The USB-C port supports modern fast-charge protocols, while the USB-A retains compatibility with older cables and devices. The built-in gasket around the perimeter of the plate creates a tight seal against the wall, preventing dust ingress and giving a refined edge line.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25-35mm back box depth is needed depending on cable routing and wiring conditions. The flat plate adds just 2.5mm of projection from the wall once fitted, making this one of the lowest-profile sockets in the Knightsbridge range.
What's the USB charging output?
The dual USB ports share a 5V 4A output. When both ports are in use, the 4A current is distributed between the two devices. For optimal performance, certified USB cables are recommended.
What's the difference between SP and DP switching?
SP (single-pole) switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, while the neutral remains connected. DP (double-pole) switching isolates both live and neutral. SP switching is standard for most residential installations and meets UK wiring regulations for 13A sockets.
What other finishes are available?
Knightsbridge produces this flat plate style in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
