Description
The Knightsbridge 13A 2-gang SP switched socket adds one USB-A and one USB-C charging port behind a polished chrome rounded edge faceplate with a grey insert. The single-pole switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, and the dual USB ports share 5V DC 4.0A output for charging phones, tablets and other portable devices.
Designed for kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and home offices where device charging is needed alongside mains power, the socket fits a standard 25-35mm back box depth depending on wiring configuration. The rounded edge plate has a built-in gasket that sits flush to the wall, giving a clean finish without visible gaps around the plate perimeter. The 13A rating handles standard UK appliance loads up to 3,120W per outlet.
The polished chrome finish provides a bright, reflective metallic surface that pairs well with modern, contemporary and industrial 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. Both USB ports share a 5V 4.0A output, so charging speed may reduce when two devices are connected simultaneously.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
A 25-35mm back box depth is needed depending on wiring configuration. The 7.5mm projection of the faceplate adds to the total wall thickness once fitted.
What's the USB charging output?
The USB-A and USB-C ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output. When charging two devices simultaneously, the 4.0A is split between them, which may reduce individual charging speed compared to charging a single device.
What does single-pole switching mean?
Single-pole (SP) switching isolates the live line only when the socket is switched off. The neutral line remains connected. This is standard for most UK residential sockets. For additional safety on high-draw appliances, double-pole (DP) switching isolates both live and neutral lines.
What other finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces this rounded edge style in a range of finishes including brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
