Add a premium decorative fused connection point to a suitable fixed-appliance or spur circuit with the BG Nexus Metal NBN50-01 Black Nickel 13A Switched Fused Connection Unit.

Commonly searched for as a Black Nickel fused spur, switched fused spur or 13A FCU, the NBN50-01 combines 13A fused protection, double-pole switching, twin earth terminals and a premium Black Nickel metal faceplate in a compact single-gang format. BG specifically describes the unit as ideal for spur circuits and hard-wired power appliances.

13A Switched Fused Spur / FCU

BG's official product description is 13A Switched Fused Connection Unit.

For customer SEO, however, shoppers commonly look for products of this type using phrases such as:

• 13A fused spur
• switched fused spur
• 13A FCU
• Black Nickel fused spur
• appliance fused spur
• switched appliance isolator
• double pole fused spur
• hardwired appliance switch
• fused connection unit
• decorative FCU

Using both the technically correct fused connection unit terminology and customer-friendly fused spur terminology gives the product much broader search coverage.

Double-Pole Switching

The NBN50-01 uses a double-pole switch. BG confirms this on the exact SKU page and in its official Nexus Metal FCU technical specification.

That makes double pole fused spur, DP switched FCU and double pole appliance isolator particularly relevant search phrases for this product.

The switch and fused connection arrangement should always be selected and installed to suit the appliance manufacturer's requirements and the electrical circuit design.

Designed for Hard-Wired Appliances & Spur Circuits

BG specifically positions the NBN50-01 as suitable for spur circuits and hard-wired power appliances.

This gives the listing useful search relevance for customers looking for a fused connection point for fixed electrical equipment.

Potential customer searches may include:

• fused spur for fixed appliance
• fused spur for boiler controls
• appliance isolator with fuse
• kitchen appliance fused spur
• heating fused spur
• extractor fan fused spur
• hardwired appliance FCU

Suitability for a particular appliance depends on its manufacturer's instructions and the electrical installation.

Replaceable Fused Connection Point

The faceplate incorporates a dedicated fuse carrier, clearly identified by “Fuse” embossed on the fuse cover. BG's official technical specification confirms the product is rated 13A 250V AC and certified to BS 1363 Part 4.

This helps distinguish an FCU from a conventional appliance switch: the NBN50-01 combines local switching with a fused connection point.

No LED Power Indicator

The exact NBN50-01 specification states:

Main Power Indicator: No.

This is an important distinction because customers looking for a visible power-status indicator should select another version in the range.

The NBN52 is the switched and fused variant with an indicator, while the NBN53 adds both an indicator and a flex outlet.

No Flex Outlet

The NBN50-01 also has no flex outlet. BG lists:

• Flex Out: No
• Flex Out Position: None

This makes NBN50-01 the straightforward switched-and-fused model rather than an FCU designed with a front cable exit.

Premium Black Nickel Finish

The NBN50-01 is finished in Black Nickel, giving the fused connection unit a dark metallic appearance that can coordinate with premium contemporary electrical accessories, lighting hardware and interior finishes.

BG describes the Nexus Metal range as having a sleek, slim premium-metal profile with softly rounded edges and highlights that there is no visible plastic around the switch.

That makes the product especially relevant for customers searching for:

• Black Nickel electrical accessories
• decorative fused spur
• premium metal FCU
• dark metal fused spur
• designer appliance switch
• modern kitchen electrical accessories
• luxury Black Nickel switches and sockets
