This BG Electrical Nexus Metal switched power socket is designed for modern homes, offering convenient USB charging alongside a standard power outlet in a sleek, brushed steel finish. Its key benefit is the dual functionality, allowing simultaneous charging of devices via Type A and Type C USB ports while powering other appliances. A potential caveat is the need for a minimum 25mm mounting box for installation, which may require upgrades in older setups.

Ensure the main socket is switched on and receiving power. Check that the device's charging cable is compatible and fully functional. Try a different USB port or device to confirm the issue.
Verify that the appliance is switched on and functioning correctly. Check the fuse in the plug or the relevant circuit breaker at the consumer unit.
Ensure you are using a compatible fast-charging cable (e.g., USB-C PD or QC certified). The charging speed is also dependent on the device's maximum charging capacity.
Ensure the area is adequately ventilated. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. The integrated moisture control should prevent significant tarnishing under normal conditions.
Setup: Ensure power is isolated at the mains before installation. The socket requires a minimum 25mm deep mounting box. Connect the live, neutral, and earth wires to the appropriate terminals. The captive screw terminals are angled for ease of use. For USB charging, no additional setup is required once wired into the mains power.
Compatibility: The socket is compatible with standard UK mains power. The USB ports support Type A and Type C connections and are compatible with devices utilising PD (Power Delivery) and QC (Quick Charge) protocols. It fits into minimum 25mm mounting boxes.
Care: Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to maintain the brushed steel finish. The integrated moisture control helps prevent tarnishing.
