Upgrade your power and charging setup with the BG Evolve PCDMB21UAC18B-01 Matt Black 13A Single Switched Socket with USB-A and USB-C 18W Fast Charging. Combining a standard UK power outlet with integrated USB charging, this contemporary socket provides a convenient way to power electrical equipment and charge compatible smartphones, tablets and other USB devices without requiring a separate plug-in USB charger.

The socket includes one 13A switched UK power outlet, one USB Type-A port and one USB Type-C port, making it a practical choice for bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, home offices, hotels, student accommodation and other modern interiors where several devices need access to power.

Its integrated USB system provides up to 18W variable-voltage fast charging, with charging power shared between the USB-A and USB-C outlets when both are being used. BG states that the charger supports PD and QC fast-charging protocols for compatible Android and iOS devices.

The built-in AutoDetect smart charging technology detects a connected USB device and adjusts the charging pattern accordingly. A standby mode operates when a connected device becomes fully charged, while integrated overload protection helps protect the charging electronics against unsuitable loading conditions.

BG states that compatible mobile phones can receive approximately 50% charge in 30 minutes and that the system can charge up to 70% faster than standard 5V charging, depending on the connected device, cable and charging protocol.

Integrating USB-A and USB-C directly into the wall socket helps free the 13A outlet for other electrical equipment. Customers can charge compatible phones, tablets, power banks, headphones and other USB-powered equipment while still keeping the mains socket available.

Finished in stylish matt black with black inserts, the PCDMB21UAC18B-01 complements contemporary, industrial, minimalist and monochrome interiors. It is particularly effective alongside dark kitchen cabinetry, black furniture, modern office equipment and matching matt black accessories from the BG Evolve range.
