Description
A double socket and a fast charger in one screwless plate, this frees the sockets for appliances while phones and tablets take their power from the USB-C ports below. USB-C suits most recent phones, tablets and headphones without an adaptor. Each socket takes a 13A plug and has its own rocker, and the pair of charging ports share 24W between them. The face carries no visible screws, and the carbon fibre finish is a fine woven texture with a soft sheen, set off by chrome detailing.
We reach for this where a single socket has to do double duty: a bedside table, a desk, or a kitchen worktop where the kettle and the phone both want a home. It suits a home office particularly well, since a laptop, monitor and charging cable rarely leave room for adaptor blocks. The rockers let you cut power to a charger without pulling anything out, which is handy in a child's bedroom or a guest room.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate with metal inside, and the textured finish gives it grip and hides fingerprints better than a gloss face. Wipe it with a dry cloth now and then; if something sticky lands on it, a barely damp cloth will do, and keep kitchen sprays and solvents off the texture. It is wired to a household mains supply and belongs in dry indoor rooms, away from splashes. It carries a ten year warranty. Carbon fibre reads dark and quiet against pale walls or grey paintwork, and it is a finish we would choose for a media wall or a study rather than a period sitting room. Plugs and charging cables are not included.

Frequently Asked
Can both USB-C ports be used at the same time?
Yes. The 24W is shared between the two ports, so charging is split when both are in use and full speed goes to a single device when only one is plugged in.
Do the sockets switch off independently?
Each of the two gangs has its own rocker switch, so you can isolate one appliance and leave the other running.
How big is the faceplate?
It measures 146mm across by 85mm high, with a 35mm depth.
What is the plate made from?
Polycarbonate with metal components, finished in a carbon fibre texture with chrome detail.
How should I clean the textured finish?
A dry cloth for dust, or a barely damp one for marks. Avoid solvents, abrasive pads and household sprays, which can dull the texture.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outbuilding?
No. It is rated IP20 for indoor use in dry rooms only.
