FAQs
Can this socket charge a laptop?
Yes, the 30W USB-C Power Delivery port is capable of charging many laptops that support USB-C PD, though total charge time may vary based on your specific laptop's requirements.
Is the USB-A port also a fast charger?
Yes, the USB-A port provides fast charging at up to 27W.
Do I need a special wall box to install this?
It is designed to fit into standard UK mounting boxes, though a deeper box may be required to accommodate the extra wiring and USB hardware.
Are the USB ports always on?
The USB ports are linked to the power supply of the socket; ensure the main switch is on to deliver power to the USB ports.
What is the material of the front plate?
The front plate is made from durable thermoset plastic which is resistant to fading and features anti-microbial properties.
Troubleshooting
Device is not charging via USB port
Ensure the device cable is fully inserted and the wall socket switch is in the ON position.
USB charging is slower than expected
Check if other high-power devices are drawing current from the second USB port, which may distribute power output.
Socket feels loose or unstable
Verify that the mounting screws are tightened to the back box and the wall plate is flush against the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This socket is designed to fit standard UK back boxes. Installation must be performed by a competent person in accordance with current IET wiring regulations. Before beginning, ensure the mains power is completely isolated at the consumer unit. The back of the unit features clearly marked color-coded terminals for straightforward wiring. For maintenance, simply wipe the thermoset plastic front plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can compromise the anti-microbial finish and cause surface scratching.
