Soho Lighting Brushed Chrome Flat Plate 2 Gang USB A+C Socket

The socket provides a total of 3,100mA (3.1A) across both USB ports. If only one port is used, it can deliver up to 3.1A. If both ports are used simultaneously, the power is divided between them.

The USB-C port supports Power Delivery, but its charging capacity is limited by the total output of 3.1A shared across both ports. It is generally suitable for charging smartphones, tablets, and smaller USB-C powered devices. Larger laptops requiring higher wattage may charge very slowly or not at all.
