Product Information

Full details

This BG Electrical Nexus 900 Series double switched USB wall socket is designed for homeowners seeking a modern and convenient power solution. Its key benefit is integrated USB charging with smart technology that optimizes power delivery, reducing the need for separate chargers. A potential consideration is that the USB ports may reduce the space available for traditional plugs when both are in use.

FAQs

What is the total USB power output?

The total USB power output is 15W, shared between the two USB ports (Type A and Type C).

Can I charge two devices simultaneously via USB?

Yes, you can charge two devices simultaneously, one via the Type A port and one via the Type C port, provided the combined output does not exceed 15W.

Does the 'Smart' USB feature mean it fast charges?

The 'Smart' USB feature optimizes charging speed based on the device's needs and prevents overcharging. While efficient, it may not always match the absolute fastest charging speeds of dedicated high-wattage chargers for specific devices.

What type of USB ports are included?

This socket features one USB Type A port and one USB Type C port.

How long is the guarantee period?

The socket is guaranteed against faulty materials and workmanship for 10 years from the date of purchase.

Is this socket suitable for a bathroom?

This socket is designed for general household use. Electrical installations in bathrooms have specific safety regulations (IP ratings) that should be checked based on the zone within the bathroom. Consult a qualified electrician for specific bathroom installations.

Can I replace an existing standard double socket with this USB socket?

Yes, provided the existing wiring is suitable and meets current safety standards. It is always recommended to consult a qualified electrician for any electrical installation work.

Troubleshooting

Socket or USB ports not providing power.

Check that the power supply is switched on at the consumer unit. Verify wiring connections are secure and correct. Ensure the fuse or circuit breaker for the relevant circuit has not tripped.

Device not charging via USB.

Ensure the USB cable is correctly inserted into the port. Try a different USB cable and/or port. Confirm the device is compatible with the USB output (15W shared).

Switches feel loose or stiff.

This may indicate an internal fault. Contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to force the switches.
