Product Information

Full details

The Trendi Switch 2 Gang 13 Amp USB Plug Socket in Blue is designed for homeowners and office managers looking to modernize their electrical infrastructure without compromising on style. It provides a convenient, high-performance power solution by combining standard 13A outlets with integrated USB Type A and Type C charging ports, allowing for clutter-free device charging directly at the wall. While it offers a sleek, slimline aesthetic with its screwless faceplate, users should note that the 35mm installation depth requires a deeper back box for successful integration.

FAQs

Can I use both USB ports at the same time?

Yes, the ports are designed to be used simultaneously, sharing a total output of 3.1A.

Is this socket compatible with standard UK back boxes?

It fits standard double gang dimensions but requires a depth of at least 35mm, so it may not fit very shallow older boxes.

Does the USB port support fast charging?

It provides a 3.1A combined output, which is suitable for standard fast charging on most mobile and tablet devices.

Does this product meet safety standards?

Yes, this unit is manufactured in compliance with BS EN 1363 safety standards.

What is the material of the faceplate?

The faceplate is made from high-quality, fireproof ABS plastic.

Are the screws visible on the front?

No, this is a screwless design, which offers a clean, seamless look.

Troubleshooting

USB devices are not charging

Verify that the main socket switch is in the 'On' position and check that the cable being used is functional.

Faceplate is not sitting flush against the wall

Check if the internal wiring is bundled behind the socket; you may need to rearrange the cables to clear the 35mm installation depth requirement.

Socket is loose or wobbling

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened securely into the back box and check that the back box itself is firmly anchored in the wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated USB Type A and Type C ports reduce the need for bulky plug-in adapters
  • Modern, screwless aesthetic enhances the look of walls
  • Constructed with fireproof materials for increased safety
  • Easy-to-clean surface due to the smooth ABS plastic finish

Cons

  • Requires a minimum installation depth of 35mm, which may necessitate back box upgrades in older properties
  • Blue color variant is a bold choice that may not fit every interior design scheme
  • Does not include individual covers for USB ports to prevent dust accumulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.

  1. Compatibility: Ensure your existing wall back box is at least 35mm deep. For optimal wiring clearance, a 47mm back box is recommended.
  2. Safety: Always isolate the power at the main consumer unit before removing old sockets or attempting installation.
  3. Wiring: The device is designed for a standard 220/250V AC supply. Ensure all terminals are tightened to the correct torque to prevent arcing.
  4. Maintenance: Clean the faceplate with a dry or lightly dampened microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents that could damage the finish of the fireproof ABS plastic.
