Description
The Knightsbridge FPR9940PCW is a 13A 2-gang SP switched socket with one USB-A and one USB-C charging port, built into an ultra-low profile flat plate design. The polished chrome faceplate sits just 2.5mm proud of the wall surface, with a white insert behind the outlet apertures and a built-in gasket that seals the plate to the wall without requiring additional finishing. The USB ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output, supporting both legacy USB-A cables and modern USB-C fast-charge devices.
Designed for residential kitchens, living rooms, home offices and hospitality installations where a minimal surface projection is required, the flat plate construction removes the visible bulk of traditional cover plates. The single-pole switching isolates the live line when the socket is switched off, and each 13A outlet handles standard UK appliance loads up to 2,990W. The socket fits a 25-35mm back box depth depending on wiring conditions, making it compatible with both standard and shallow-depth back boxes.
The polished chrome finish provides a bright metallic surface that pairs with contemporary, industrial and minimalist interiors, while the white insert softens the contrast between the chrome plate and the wall. The metal rocker switches match the plate finish and sit flush with the surface. The premium-grade steel construction and Class I earthing provide mechanical durability and electrical safety to BS 1363 standards.

Frequently Asked
What back box depth is required?
The socket fits a 25-35mm back box depth depending on wiring conditions. Tighter cable bundles and deeper back boxes allow easier termination. The flat plate design adds only 2.5mm projection from the wall once fitted.
What's the USB charging output?
The USB-A and USB-C ports share a 5V DC 4.0A output. This means if both ports are in use simultaneously, the 4.0A is divided between the connected devices. A single device on either port can draw the full 4.0A if needed.
Is this single-pole or double-pole switching?
This is single-pole (SP) switching, which isolates the live line when the socket is switched off. For applications requiring full isolation of both live and neutral, see the double-pole (DP) variant of this product.
What other finishes are available in this flat plate range?
Knightsbridge produces this flat plate socket 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.
