Description
The Knightsbridge CU9965 is a 13A 2-gang single-pole switched socket with two USB-C charging ports rated to deliver up to 65W combined power, or a full 65W from a single port when charging one device. The USB-C ports support USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) protocols, allowing adaptive fast-charge for compatible laptops, tablets and smartphones including iPhone 15 and later models.
Designed for residential, office and hospitality installation, the socket fits a standard 35mm minimum back box depth and uses a white thermoset resin faceplate with rounded edges. The outboard rocker switches sit proud of the faceplate for clear visual indication of on/off status, while captive terminals accessed from the top of the socket body simplify first-fix wiring. Twin earthing points provide redundancy in high-use commercial environments.
The white finish carries an anti-microbial coating tested to third-party standards, reducing surface bacterial buildup between cleaning cycles in shared or high-touch spaces. The 7mm overall depth from wall to faceplate front keeps the socket profile low on kitchen splashbacks, office desks and bedside installations. Built-in overheat and overload protection cuts power to the USB ports if thermal limits are exceeded, protecting both the socket and the connected device.
The single-pole switching isolates the live conductor when off, suitable for most residential and light commercial applications. For dual-pole isolation (both live and neutral switched), see the DP-switched variants in the Knightsbridge range. Charging speed depends on the connected device — most smartphones and tablets only fast-charge between 0-70% battery capacity before throttling to a slower trickle charge to preserve cell longevity.

Frequently Asked
What's the maximum USB-C charging output?
The socket delivers up to 65W from a single USB-C port when charging one device, or up to 45W and 20W simultaneously when both ports are in use. The socket supports USB-PD and PPS protocols for adaptive fast-charge with compatible devices.
Does this work with iPhone fast charging?
Yes, but only iPhone 15 and later models support full USB-PD voltage switching for fast charging. Earlier iPhone models will charge at standard USB rates. Use a certified USB-C to Lightning or USB-C to USB-C cable rated to 60W or higher.
What back box depth is required?
A 35mm minimum back box depth is needed for safe installation. The socket has a recessed depth of 21.2mm and projects 11.3mm from the wall once fitted, giving a total 32.5mm depth from back to front.
What does the anti-microbial coating do?
The white faceplate carries an anti-microbial coating tested to third-party standards, reducing surface bacterial buildup between cleaning cycles. This is particularly useful in shared spaces like hotel rooms, offices and care settings where multiple users touch the same socket.
