Powermax BSR 13A Socket
The Powermax BSR Twin Socket provides a high-density power distribution solution for modern commercial and residential infrastructure. This unit features two 13A British Type G outlets. It includes integrated USB-A and USB-C charging ports. The device operates on a standard 250V AC frequency. The black finish offers a professional appearance for enterprise environments. Each outlet utilizes a double-pole switch for complete circuit isolation. This design increases safety during maintenance procedures. Internal components feature high-conductivity copper alloys. These materials minimize electrical resistance. They also reduce thermal buildup under maximum load conditions. The integrated transformer converts AC input to a stable 5V DC output. It delivers a total of 3.1A across the charging ports. This configuration supports modern mobile hardware and legacy peripherals simultaneously. The BSR series utilizes a low-profile plate design to minimize the physical footprint on the wall surface.

Finally found a socket with a Type-C port that actually works for my newer iPhone cable. Very neat for the bedside and saves me from using those bulky adapters.

Bought these for my apartment renovation in Kilimani. They look very modern compared to the old-school white ones. The USB-A port is handy for my older tablet while the C port handles my phone perfectly. Only gave 4 stars because the delivery took an extra day, but the product itself is top notch and feels very solid.

Solid build quality from Powermax. I replaced the sockets in my home office with these SKTT models. It’s a real win because you don’t need those bulky ‘heads’ that usually block the second plug point. Both the Type A and C ports charge at a decent speed simultaneously without the faceplate getting too warm. If you have many gadgets, this is a mandatory upgrade for your house.

It’s a good socket and the finish is quite nice for a modern interior. My only issue is the price is a bit on the higher side compared to the ones without USB, but I guess you pay for the convenience. Functional and looks like it will last.
