Product Information

Full details

This MK Logic Plus double socket is designed for homeowners and gadget enthusiasts who want to maximize their available power outlets. It offers the key benefit of charging devices directly via integrated USB-A and USB-C ports without sacrificing standard socket functionality. A potential caveat is that the combined USB charging capacity is 3A, which may be slower for multiple high-power devices simultaneously. Key features include dual USB ports, dynamic device recognition for optimal charging, an antimicrobial finish, and enhanced safety mechanisms.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I charge my laptop from the USB ports?

The combined 3A output is generally not sufficient for most laptops, which typically require higher wattage. This socket is best suited for smartphones, tablets, and other smaller USB-powered devices.

Does this socket support fast charging standards like Quick Charge or Power Delivery?

The socket features dynamic device recognition to provide an optimal charge, but it does not explicitly support proprietary fast charging protocols like Qualcomm Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery beyond what the device identifies as standard charging needs.

What is the advantage of the antimicrobial finish?

The antimicrobial finish helps to reduce the growth of common bacteria on the surface of the socket, contributing to a more hygienic environment.

How do I know if my device is compatible with the USB ports?

Both USB-A and USB-C ports are designed to be widely compatible. If your device charges via a standard USB-A or USB-C cable, it should work, provided the device's charging requirements do not exceed the socket's 3A combined output.

Is it safe to have USB ports on a socket outlet?

Yes, the product incorporates safety mechanisms, including double pole switching and protection for the USB circuitry, designed to meet stringent safety standards. However, installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician.

What is the maximum current draw for the main sockets?

The main sockets are standard 13A sockets, suitable for appliances rated up to 13 Amps, provided the total load on the circuit does not exceed its rating.

Troubleshooting

USB port not charging device

Ensure the device is correctly plugged into the USB port. Check that the combined load on both USB ports does not exceed 3A. Try a different USB cable and device to rule out cable or device issues. Confirm the main socket is receiving power.

Main socket not working

Check the fuse or circuit breaker for the circuit. Ensure the socket is properly wired and connections are secure (requires a qualified electrician). Test the socket with a different appliance.

Slow charging speed

The combined USB output is 3A. If multiple devices are drawing power, the speed will be shared. Disconnect one device to see if the other charges faster. Ensure the USB cable is of good quality and suitable for charging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Frees up main sockets by offering integrated USB charging.
Supports both USB-A and USB-C devices for broad compatibility.
Features antimicrobial properties for enhanced hygiene.
Includes safety shutters and double pole switching for increased user safety.
Provides an optimal charge thanks to dynamic device recognition.

Cons

Combined USB charging capacity of 3A may be insufficient for charging multiple high-power devices simultaneously at maximum speed.
Installation requires basic electrical knowledge and should ideally be done by a qualified electrician.
Does not support fast charging standards like Qualcomm Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery beyond the basic recognition of device needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of this double socket with USB ports should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety regulations. It replaces a standard double socket and requires the appropriate wiring for both the mains sockets and the integrated USB ports.

Compatibility: The USB-A port is compatible with most older and newer USB-powered devices, while the USB-C port is designed for modern smartphones, tablets, and other USB-C enabled gadgets. The standard 13A sockets are suitable for all UK mains-powered appliances.

Care: To clean the socket, ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish. The antimicrobial properties do not negate the need for regular cleaning.
