FAQs

Does the USB port work if the switch is off?

Yes, in most configurations, the USB ports remain live as long as the mains power to the unit is active, regardless of the individual socket switch position.

Can I install this in a 25mm back box?

No, a minimum depth of 30mm is required to safely house the integrated USB components.

What is the total output of the USB ports?

The total shared output is 5V 2.4A.

Is this socket compatible with Apple and Android devices?

Yes, the USB ports are compatible with standard USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 devices, including most smartphones and tablets.

Can I replace my existing socket with this model myself?

If you are not comfortable or qualified to perform electrical work, it is strongly recommended to hire a professional electrician to ensure the installation meets safety standards.

Troubleshooting

USB devices are not charging

Ensure the device is connected with a functional cable and that the socket's mains power is switched on.

Socket faceplate does not sit flush against the wall

Verify the back box depth is at least 30mm; if it is too shallow, the internal components will prevent flush installation.

Only one device charges when two are plugged in

This is normal if the combined power requirement exceeds the 2.4A capacity; disconnect one device to allow for faster charging on the other.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces clutter by eliminating need for USB wall adapters
  • Independent switching for each mains socket
  • Modern, neutral finish matches most decor
  • Convenient centralized charging for tablets and phones

Cons

  • Requires a 30mm deep back box, which may require retrofitting in older homes
  • Total 2.4A output is shared, meaning two high-demand devices may charge slower than individually
  • Not suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Eagle E341AE must only be performed by a qualified electrician or a competent person in accordance with current IET wiring regulations.

Key Requirements:

  • Back Box: A minimum depth of 30mm is strictly required to accommodate the internal circuitry of the USB ports.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with all standard UK 13A plugs and devices requiring USB 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 standards.
  • Maintenance: To clean the unit, ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or water directly on the faceplate, as this can damage the finish or pose an electrical hazard.
