The combined output for both USB-A and USB-C ports is 4.0A (5V DC), which is shared between the two ports.
While some smaller or USB-C chargeable laptops might draw power, the 4.0A shared output is generally intended for smartphones and tablets. Charging speeds for laptops may be slow or insufficient.
Yes, a minimum mounting box depth of 25-35mm is recommended, depending on wiring conditions. If your existing box is shallower, it may need to be replaced.
The product description states USB-C port with 5V DC 4.0A [shared] output. It does not specify Power Delivery capabilities, suggesting it functions as a standard 5V charger.
Always turn off power at the mains before cleaning. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.
This socket is designed for indoor use. It includes a gasket which can offer some protection, but it is not rated for outdoor or wet conditions.
Ensure the main socket is switched on and receiving power. Verify that the USB cable is correctly plugged in and certified. Check if the shared 4.0A limit is being exceeded by multiple high-demand devices. Try a different USB cable.
Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the relevant circuit. Ensure the main switch on the socket is in the 'ON' position. Inspect wiring connections (if accessible and safe to do so, or consult an electrician).
This may be due to the shared 4.0A USB output being divided between two devices. Disconnect one device to allow the other to charge at a potentially faster rate. Ensure you are using a suitable certified USB cable for your device.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.
Setup: Installation of this switched socket should only be carried out by a qualified electrician. It requires a minimum flush mounting box depth of 25-35mm, depending on wiring conditions. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing installation.
Compatibility: The 13A switched socket is compatible with standard UK mains plugs. The USB-A port supports legacy USB charging standards, while the USB-C port supports modern charging protocols. For safety and optimal performance, always use certified USB cables. The shared 4.0A USB output is suitable for most modern smartphones and tablets, but high-power laptops or multiple high-demand devices may charge slower when used concurrently.
Care: To clean the socket, ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the gasket remains intact if the unit is exposed to moisture.
