This Mega Socket N776GME is designed for modern homes seeking a blend of style and functionality, offering a convenient way to power multiple devices simultaneously. Its key benefit is the inclusion of two USB ports with independent amperage ratings, allowing for simultaneous charging of various devices without sacrificing power. A potential caveat is that it replaces a standard wall socket, requiring proper electrical installation.

The socket has a 2.1A and a 1.0A USB port. You can charge two devices simultaneously, but the 2.1A port is intended for higher power needs. For optimal performance, ensure your devices are compatible with these amperage ratings.
Yes, the main sockets support standard UK 3-pin plugs and are rated for 13A at 250V, suitable for most household appliances.
No, you can directly plug in standard USB cables (e.g., USB-A to your device's connector) into the USB ports.
The USB ports have independent amperage: one is 2.1A and the other is 1.0A. They do not share a combined amperage limit that would reduce performance when both are in use.
Electrical installations should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
This socket is not designed to interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Any perceived interference would likely be due to other factors in your environment.
Ensure the device is compatible with 5V charging. Check that the USB cable is not damaged. Try the other USB port or a different device to isolate the issue.
Verify that the appliance plugged into the socket is functional. Check your home's circuit breaker to ensure the circuit is active. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Confirm that the total amperage draw from both USB ports does not exceed their combined capacity, especially if the 13A sockets are also in heavy use. Ensure the main power supply is stable.
Setup:
Installation of this double wall socket requires wiring into your home's electrical system. It is strongly recommended to have a qualified electrician perform the installation to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations.
Compatibility:
This socket is compatible with standard UK 3-pin plugs and 13A electrical appliances. The USB ports are designed to charge devices compatible with 5V charging standards.
Care:
To clean the socket, first ensure no devices are plugged in and the power is isolated at the breaker. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
