Description
A double 13A socket with USB-C charging built in, on a flat screwless plate in matt black. Each socket has its own rocker switch, so you can leave a plug in place and cut the power at the wall. The charging ports sit between them, sharing an output of up to 45W, enough to keep a laptop, a tablet and a phone topped up without a plug-in charger taking space on the worktop. Chrome detail on the rockers and around the ports lifts the black plate. From a step back it reads as an ordinary double socket, which is usually what people want on a busy wall.
We reach for sockets like this wherever a phone or laptop is charged daily: bedside, kitchen worktop, desk, or the hallway console where everyone drops keys and a handset. Because the charging is in the plate, you free up a socket that would otherwise be taken by an adaptor. It suits rooms done in dark hardware and sits happily beside matt black taps, handles and hinges. Keep it to dry rooms indoors; it runs from a domestic supply and requires an earth connection.
The plate is moulded polycarbonate finished matt black, which holds fingerprints far less readily than gloss, and the screwless front gives a clean edge with no visible fixings. A dry cloth across the face keeps the finish even, worked around the rockers, with nothing damp near the port openings. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are changing the hardware in a room piece by piece, we think it is worth running the same plate style along a whole wall rather than at one point in isolation, so the black reads as intended.

Frequently Asked
How big is the plate?
It measures 146mm across and 85mm high, with a depth of 35mm behind the plate.
Is the 45W output per port or shared?
It is shared. Both USB-C ports draw from a combined output of up to 45W, so charging is quickest when only one device is connected.
Are the sockets switched?
Yes. Each of the two sockets has its own rocker switch, so appliances can be isolated without unplugging them.
What is it made from?
A moulded polycarbonate plate in a matt black finish, with chrome detailing on the rockers and around the port surround.
Can it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply, with an earth connection required.
How should the matt finish be cleaned?
Switch off at the consumer unit first, then wipe the face with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid sprays, solvents and abrasive creams, and keep moisture out of the USB-C ports.
