2 Gang Double 13A 45W USB-C Socket - Navy Blue

Deep navy blue with chrome detailing, this is a double 13A socket with USB-C charging built into the plate. Each half is controlled by its own chrome rocker switch, and the two USB-C ports share up to 45W between them, enough to keep a phone topped up while a tablet or a slim laptop charges alongside. The screwless plate carries no visible fixings across the front, so the colour reads as one clean block.

We would fit this at a bedside, on a kitchen worktop, behind a desk or in a hallway where a charger is always plugged in and never put away. It suits homes that have moved over to USB-C cables and want the sockets kept free for lamps, kettles and vacuums. It is one we suggest where a single point has to serve as the charging spot for the whole family. It works well in guest rooms and children's rooms too, where you want charging without a trailing adaptor, and we reach for it in schemes with darker painted walls and navy cabinetry, where a white plate would jump out.

The plate is moulded ABS in navy blue with chrome inserts, a pairing that stays quiet next to chrome taps, handles and metalwork elsewhere in the room. Indoor rooms on a normal household supply are where it belongs, away from splashes and steam. To clean, turn the power off at the consumer unit, then wipe the plate with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away; keep sprays and creams away from the ports and the switch edges, and never poke anything into a port to clear it. It carries a ten year warranty. Pair it with matching navy plates for a consistent line along a wall.

Is the 45W shared between the two USB-C ports?

Yes. The 45W is a shared total across both ports, so charging two devices at once splits the available power between them.

Can each socket be switched on and off separately?

Yes. Each of the two sockets has its own rocker switch on the plate.

What size is the plate?

It measures 146mm across and 85mm high, with a depth of 35mm, and weighs 0.24kg.

What is the plate made from, and what colours are used?

It is moulded ABS finished in navy blue, with chrome inserts and chrome rockers.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?

No. It is rated IP20 for indoor use on a domestic supply, so it should be kept out of bathroom zones and away from damp or unheated spaces.

How should I clean around the USB ports?

Switch off at the consumer unit first, then use a dry or barely damp cloth on the plate only. Leave the port openings alone rather than inserting cloths, brushes or tools.
