{"product_id":"2-gang-double-13a-45w-usb-c-socket-piano-black","title":"2 Gang Double 13A 45W USB-C Socket - Piano Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano black is a deep gloss, and on a screwless plate with no visible fixings the front stays unbroken from edge to edge. Chrome inserts frame the rockers, so the switching reads clearly against the dark face. It is a double switched socket rated at 13A, with two USB-C ports set beneath. Those ports share up to 45W between them, which is enough for a phone and a tablet at once, or a laptop pulling hard on its own. We stock it as the sensible answer where a charger would otherwise sit permanently in one half of a socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe reach for this one at bedsides, on kitchen worktops, and at desks in home offices, all places where cables gather and a plug-in charger gets knocked about. It suits anyone who has run out of places to put a phone lead, and it earns its keep in a spare room where guests arrive with a different cable each time. The rocker switching means each half can be turned off at the wall without unplugging. Being for indoor rooms and an ordinary household supply, it belongs in living spaces rather than anywhere damp or exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate and its inserts are moulded in polycarbonate, chosen for a gloss that holds its shade rather than yellowing behind a lamp or a window. Gloss shows fingerprints, so wipe the face now and then with a soft cloth barely damp with warm water, then dry it straight away; cream cleaners and kitchen sprays will dull the shine and should be kept clear of it. It carries a ten year warranty. Against pale plaster or a dark painted wall it does much the same job as a good black switch, holding a line of accessories together, and we would keep the rest of the plates in a room to the same gloss so nothing looks borrowed from elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiano Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.24KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e146mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Box Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate, Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
