Introducing a British standard 13A double MF switched socket with USB ports — R12588C — the most comprehensive double-gang solution of power and charging in the R12 product line. The 20W fast double USB socket R12588C is made of phosphor copper, which consists of two MF universal power outlets and a 20W fast charging unit — all in the size of 86×146 mm. Each MF three-pin socket has its own rocker switch with a neon indicator, and accepts both BS1363 UK rectangular plugs as well as two-pin European plugs. The 20W socket gives a much faster charging speed in comparison to 2.1A, and can charge a variety of phones, including iPhones or Samsung Galaxy. The USB operates independently from the socket switches, and phones can be charged even when the sockets are turned off. The outlets come with high phospor copper contacts that are made of 0.7 mm, enabling a perfect elasticity and long-lasting sticking of the pins. The R12588C socket also has SP copper switch internals, as well as USB unit with relevant protection of over-current, over-voltage and short circuit. The 0.7 mm contacts and SP copper components save you from worries about frequent repairs and replacements with an uninterrupted operation of the socket.

Secondly, the 20W power of the USB module provides speedy charging and allows the iPhone to charge from 0 to 50% in around 30 minutes – double the speed of ordinary 2.1A USB sockets. Thirdly, both of the outlets utilize 0.7mm phosphor copper contacts which provide the best elasticity and long-term retention of pins – the same high-end material used in the whole range of R12 MF devices. The certification of the USB module according to IEC 62680 ensures that the device operates independently from the position of switches. The design of the internals of the switch includes red copper and Φ3.5mm×0.35mm silver alloy points providing compatibility to IEC 60884 together with a warranty of 12 years from the manufacturer of the 2 gang MF USB socket R12588C.

R12588C vs R12408M vs R12492C: Choosing the Right R12 2 Gang Socket — MF USB 20W, MF No USB, or BS DP USB 20W?
A practical guide to selecting the correct R12 series double gang socket for international hotels, mixed‑standard residential, and UK‑standard commercial installations.
R12588C (MF + USB 20W) vs R12408M (MF, No USB) — Fast Charging or Pure Universal Power?
The R12588C two-gang MF USB 20W socket is the ultimate solution as it has two MF universal sockets together with the feature of quick charging by USB. As such, the R12588C is recommended for hotel rooms, executive offices, and high-end homes where fast charging and universal power are required. The R12408M provides the same two MF socket sockets but does not have any USB charging. The 20W USB charger on the R12588C socket charges an iPhone from 0 to 50 percent in around half an hour.
R12588C (MF USB 20W) vs R12492C (BS DP USB 20W) — MF Universal or BS with DP Safety?
The R12588C is the best option in cases where MF universal plug compatibility and phosphor copper durability are demanded; R12492C is suitable for UK‑style profiles that require double-pole safety isolation on both outlets according to the wiring regulations. Both of them feature a fast charging of 20W via USB. The only difference is that R12588C utilizes phosphor copper contacts in both outlets, while R12492C uses 62 brass contacts equipped with DP switches.
Installation
The R12588C is suitable for use with a regular British 86×146mm double gang back box. Regarding the electrical connections, the live wires must first be connected to the common terminal of each of the SP switches. After that, switched live wires must go from terminal L1 to the designated live input of the socket, and neutral wires must be connected to both neutral input of the sockets and the USB module. Note that there must be an earth connection as well. The USB module must be connected to the neutral but works by itself and fast charges even when both 13A sockets are off. One can see the status of the sockets only from the neon indicators. The device is certified both with the IEC 60884 and IEC 62680 standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2 gang MF switched socket with USB-C 20W?
The R12588C is the premium version of the R12 double gang MF switch socket that has two independent MF sockets on a single 146mm plate. Each socket comes with an SP rocker switch with a neon indication, along with the ability to charge devices through its exceptional 20W USB charging feature.
Does the 20W USB fast charge when both socket switches are off?
Exactly, the USB-A and Type-C ports within the R12588C can work independently of both SP switch sockets. In this case, the USB module draws its power directly from the mains and is able to continue charging devices when the two 13A sockets are in the off position. The two neon indicators are there to inform about the sockets only and do not indicate whether the USB module itself is powered or not, which is always the case. The USB component has its own certification according to the IEC 62680 standard.
What is the difference between R12588C and R12492C?
The two options at hand are both a double gang socket type with 20W USB chargers. The R12588C uses MF universal 3-pin sockets that can accept either UK or European plugs. This comes with phosphor bronze contact material that ensures greater durability. The R12492C has BS1363 sockets that provides 62 brass contacts and has double-pole switches in each socket. If you are looking for universal plugs compatibility, the R12588C will be your ideal choice. The other option will be best suited for UK standards with stronger safety measures.
What colors is this British standard 2 gang MF USB 20W socket available in?
The R12 series two plug MF switched socket with USB 20W comes in the following colors of PC panel: White (for home and hotel use), Gold (for high-end interiors), Grey (for contemporary and modern use), and Black (for projects where dark interiors are used). All colors use the same imported tinted ultra-clear PC material and have the same 12-year warranty from the manufacturer.
