Product Information

Full details

The British General 922UAC22 is an ideal solution for homeowners and office managers looking to modernize their electrical outlets without sacrificing functionality. This double switched socket integrates two USB charging ports (Type A and Type C), providing an efficient way to charge mobile devices directly from the wall. Its primary benefit is the intelligent variable voltage technology that optimizes power delivery and prevents overcharging, though users should note that the unit requires a standard 25mm deep back box for installation.

FAQs

Does this socket work with all USB devices?

The USB ports are designed to be compatible with most smartphones and tablets; however, always check your device's specific power requirements.

Can I install this myself?

Electrical installations should be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations.

What happens when my device is fully charged?

The socket features intelligent technology that detects when a device is full and enters standby mode to stop charging.

Is the white finish prone to yellowing?

The socket is manufactured from high-quality urea, which is resistant to fading and yellowing under normal indoor conditions.

Are the USB ports always active?

The USB ports draw a negligible amount of power while in standby mode, which is standard for electronic charging outlets.

Troubleshooting

Verify that the mains power to the socket is switched on and check that the USB cable is fully inserted and functional.
