Description
A double socket that charges as well as powers. Alongside a pair of switched 13A power points sit a USB-A and a USB-C port, sharing up to 45W between them, so a phone and a laptop can be topped up without one of the sockets being tied up. The plate is finished in textured carbon fibre with chrome, a dark woven-look surface that reads almost as fabric, and the screwless front leaves the face clear of visible fixings.
We reach for this where a single position has to work harder: a bedside, a desk, or the end of a kitchen worktop where the kettle sits next to a propped-up tablet. The USB-C port suits newer phones and small laptops that expect a quicker charge, while the USB-A keeps older leads and accessories in service. A rocker on each gang means you can switch off one appliance and leave the other running. It also earns its place where plates are on show against dark paint or tiling and a white face would stand out.
Polycarbonate and metal make up the body, with the grain of the finish carried across the whole face. It is an earthed fitting for indoor rooms running on an ordinary household supply, so keep it out of shower zones and away from anything that gets splashed. To clean, run a dry cloth over the plate and leave the ports and pin holes alone; no sprays, no damp corners of tea towel. It carries a ten year warranty. Carbon fibre works well with dark kitchens, media walls and black-framed glazing, and we would keep the switch plates through a room reading the same so nothing looks like an afterthought.

Frequently Asked
Is the 45W shared or does each USB port get 45W?
The 45W is shared across the two ports. Charge one device and it can draw the full amount; charge two at once and the power is divided between them.
What size is the plate?
It measures 146mm across by 85mm high, with a 35mm depth to the rear of the accessory.
Can I turn each socket off separately?
Yes. Each of the two gangs has its own rocker switch, so one appliance can be isolated while the other stays live.
How do I clean the textured carbon fibre face?
A dry or barely damp cloth over the plate is all it needs. Avoid solvents, cream cleaners and abrasive pads, and never let moisture near the USB ports or the pin holes.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only, so keep it to bedrooms, kitchens, offices and living spaces.
Will the USB-C port charge a laptop?
It will charge small laptops and tablets that accept USB-C power delivery, drawing up to 45W when nothing else is plugged into the USB-A port.
