Share
Modern homes and workplaces contain more USB-powered devices than ever before. Smartphones, tablets, wireless headphones, smartwatches, power banks, handheld gaming consoles and laptops all need regular charging, often resulting in bulky adaptors, overloaded extension leads and untidy cables.
Trendi Switch USB plug sockets provide a practical way to charge compatible devices directly from the wall. By combining a standard 13A plug socket with integrated USB charging ports, they help reduce clutter while keeping the main electrical outlet available for lamps, appliances and other equipment.
The Trendi Switch range includes 24W, 45W and 65W USB plug sockets, giving homeowners and businesses the flexibility to choose a charging solution that matches the devices they use most often.
Why Choose a USB Plug Socket?
A USB wall socket removes the need to connect a separate charging adaptor every time a device needs power. Simply connect a compatible charging cable directly to the integrated USB port.
The key benefits of installing USB plug sockets include:
- Fewer bulky charging adaptors
- Reduced reliance on extension leads
- More convenient charging locations
- A tidier and more organised room
- The ability to charge multiple devices
- A standard plug outlet that remains available
- Support for modern USB-C devices and traditional USB-A cables
USB charging sockets are particularly useful beside beds, kitchen worktops, desks, home-office workstations, hotel furniture and shared commercial charging areas.
Trendi Switch 24W USB-C Plug Socket
The Trendi Switch 24W USB-C Plug Socket is a convenient everyday charging solution featuring two integrated USB Type-C ports.
It is best suited to frequently used portable electronics such as smartphones, wireless headphones, earbuds, smartwatches, fitness trackers, e-readers, portable speakers and power banks.
The two USB-C ports make it possible to charge two compatible devices from the same wall location. This could include two smartphones, a phone and a smartwatch, or wireless headphones alongside another small electronic device.
Key Benefits of the 24W USB-C Socket
The main advantage of the 24W socket is convenient dual-device charging. It offers a simple way to update bedrooms, kitchens, offices and living spaces with modern USB-C connectivity without requiring a high-powered charging system.
It is an excellent option for areas where people regularly charge smaller personal devices, including:
- Bedrooms and bedside charging areas
- Kitchens and living rooms

- Hotel rooms
- Student accommodation
- Reception areas and shared workspaces
For households moving towards USB-C cables and devices, the 24W socket provides an accessible and space-saving charging upgrade.
Trendi Switch 45W USB Type-A and Type-C Plug Socket
The Trendi Switch 45W USB Plug Socket combines one traditional USB Type-A port with one higher-powered USB Type-C port.
This combination provides excellent flexibility because it supports both older USB-A charging cables and newer USB-C devices. It is particularly useful in homes and workplaces where people use a mixture of traditional accessories and modern technology.
The USB-A connection is suitable for everyday electronics such as smartphones, headphones, watches, power banks and portable speakers. The more powerful USB-C connection can support compatible smartphones, tablets, handheld gaming devices and selected laptops.
Key Benefits of the 45W USB Socket
The 45W USB plug socket offers a useful balance between everyday charging and higher-powered USB-C performance.
Its main benefit is versatility. Users do not have to replace all their existing USB-A cables immediately, while still gaining access to a more capable USB-C charging connection.
It is well suited to:
- Home offices and desk areas
- Bedrooms and living rooms
- Kitchens
- Hotels and guest accommodation
- Student rooms

Trendi Switch 65W USB Type-A and Type-C Plug Socket
The Trendi Switch 65W USB Plug Socket is designed for users who need more powerful USB-C charging.
It features one USB Type-A port for everyday devices and one high-powered USB Type-C port for compatible laptops, tablets, smartphones, handheld consoles, portable monitors and other demanding USB-C equipment.
The higher output can reduce the need for separate laptop or tablet charging adaptors, provided the connected device and cable support the available charging power.
Key Benefits of the 65W USB Socket
The main advantage of the 65W USB socket is its ability to charge a wider range of power-demanding equipment directly from the wall.
It is particularly beneficial in areas where laptops, tablets and professional devices are used regularly, including:
- Home offices
- Commercial workstations
- Meeting rooms
- Hotels and business accommodation
- Study areas
- Bedrooms with multiple devices
- Gaming rooms
- Technology-focused workspaces
The combination of USB-A and USB-C connections also ensures continued support for older accessories while providing a more future-ready charging option for newer equipment.
For users who regularly charge a laptop, large tablet or handheld gaming console, the 65W model is likely to be the most suitable option in the range.
Which Trendi Switch USB Plug Socket Should You Choose?
The best USB socket will depend on the types of devices being charged and the room in which it will be installed.
Choose the 24W USB-C Plug Socket for Everyday Devices
The 24W model is ideal for charging smaller personal electronics. Its dual USB-C ports make it especially useful beside beds, in kitchens or in shared areas where two smartphones or accessories may need charging at once.
Choose the 45W USB-A and USB-C Plug Socket for Versatility
The 45W option is suited to users who want compatibility with traditional USB-A cables and newer USB-C devices. It provides a strong balance between general everyday charging and increased power for tablets, gaming devices and selected laptops.
Choose the 65W USB-A and USB-C Plug Socket for Higher-Powered Equipment
The 65W socket is the best choice for compatible laptops, larger tablets, handheld gaming systems and other higher-powered USB-C devices. It is particularly useful in offices, study spaces and modern workstations.
USB-A and USB-C Compatibility
USB Type-A has been widely used for many years and remains common on charging cables for headphones, watches, power banks and older smartphones.
USB Type-C is now increasingly used across modern smartphones, tablets, laptops, gaming devices and accessories. Its compact, reversible connector makes it easier to use, while compatible USB-C charging technology can support significantly higher power levels.
A socket containing both USB-A and USB-C ports offers broad compatibility, while a dual USB-C socket is ideal for households that have already moved towards newer charging cables.
Create a Cleaner, More Organised Charging Area
Installing USB plug sockets can help remove multiple adaptors from worktops, desks and bedside tables. This creates a cleaner charging area and reduces the need to constantly unplug chargers to make space for other electrical equipment.
They can also be positioned in convenient locations during a refurbishment, new build or electrical upgrade. Popular installation areas include either side of a bed, above a kitchen worktop, beside a sofa or directly behind a home-office desk.
Stylish Charging for Modern Interiors
Trendi Switch USB plug sockets combine practical charging technology with the modern appearance associated with the Trendi Switch electrical accessories range.
This allows switches and sockets to form part of the overall interior design rather than appearing as purely functional components. Coordinating electrical accessories can help create a more consistent finish throughout bedrooms, kitchens, offices, hotels and commercial environments.
Upgrade Your Home or Workspace with Trendi Switch USB Sockets
Whether you need convenient charging for smartphones and accessories or a more powerful USB-C solution for laptops and tablets, the Trendi Switch range provides options for different rooms and charging requirements.
The 24W USB-C socket is ideal for smaller everyday devices, the 45W USB-A and USB-C socket offers excellent flexibility, and the 65W model provides additional charging power for compatible laptops and other demanding equipment.
By reducing the need for separate adaptors and keeping the main plug outlet available, Trendi Switch USB plug sockets offer a modern, practical and space-saving upgrade for homes, offices, hotels and commercial spaces.
Charging performance may vary depending on the connected device, charging cable and the charging standards supported by the equipment.
