2 Gang Double 13A 24W USB-C Socket - Copper

A double socket with USB-C charging built into the same plate, in a copper finish with chrome rockers and inserts. The 13A sockets are individually switched, so each half can be turned off at the plate without unplugging anything. Charging is handled by two USB-C ports sharing 24W between them, enough for a phone and a tablet, or a single device at speed. The screwless plate shows no screws across the face, just a flat, unbroken front. We like it where a socket sits at eye level and needs to look considered.

We reach for sockets like this at bedsides, on kitchen worktops and in home offices, anywhere a phone, a set of earbuds or a laptop needs charging through the day. Putting the USB-C ports on the plate keeps a charger plug out of the way, so both sockets stay free for a lamp, a kettle or a monitor. It suits copper and brass schemes, and works as well in a hallway behind a console table as it does in a bedroom. Where the switch plates in a room are already copper, this carries the same line across.

The plate is moulded ABS with a copper finish and chrome detailing, warm-toned rather than mirror-bright, and light in the hand. Keep it clean with a dry microfibre cloth; if marks build up around the rockers, a barely damp cloth will lift them, but nothing abrasive and no sprays, which dull the surface. It is intended for dry indoor rooms on a household supply. It carries a ten year warranty. The small plate size means it sits comfortably above a worktop or behind furniture, and the copper looks best read against pale plaster, painted timber or a darker wall where it can pick up the light.

Do the two USB-C ports each give full power?

No, the 24W output is shared between the pair. One device on its own can draw the full amount; with two connected, the power is split between them.

How big is the plate?

The plate measures 146mm across by 85mm tall, so it takes up no more room on the wall than a standard double socket plate.

Are the sockets switched?

Yes, both 13A sockets have their own rocker switch, so each one can be isolated at the plate.

Can it go in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20, which makes it suitable for dry indoor rooms only, on a domestic power supply.

What is the finish made from, and how should I clean it?

The plate is ABS moulded and finished in copper with chrome inserts. Dust it with a dry soft cloth and avoid solvents, cream cleaners or polishes, which will mark the coating.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, it carries a ten year warranty.
