Stainless Steel Pop-Up Floor Socket — A Concealed Source of Electricity by A Professional Manufacturer
C11 is a square-shaped, metal-built pop-up floor socket (120 mm × 120 mm). It is designed to deliver power and charging solutions exactly where needed — embedded into the floors of modern living rooms, open-plan offices, hotel lobbies, and meeting facilities. The cover of the C11 is made from stainless steel and sits flush with the surface of the floor when not in use, ensuring a sleek, unobtrusive appearance. A gentle press activates the pop-up mechanism, raising the socket module for effortless access. Available in gold, silver, and black finishes, the C11 features options for both fast and slow pop-up actions and a durable metal bracket. Designed for recessed installation, it promises reliable performance in high-traffic areas. This product comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty and is available for wholesale and OEM from the pop-up floor socket factory.
Push-to-Open Pop-Up Mechanism — Fast or Slow: The C11 ground socket is equipped with a press-activated pop-up mechanism, allowing customizable functionality. Choose between a fast pop-up option for instant spring-loaded access or a slow pop-up option for a smooth, damped opening action. Both mechanisms ensure the socket retracts fully flush to the 120×120 mm housing when not in use. This prevents dust, spills, and foot traffic from damaging the internal sockets, adding to the durability of the design.
Brushed Stainless Steel Cover in Three Colour Options: Designed for floor-level durability, the brushed stainless steel cover resists scratches and corrosion, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. The gold, silver, and black finishes of the cover allow this recessed socket to blend seamlessly with various interior aesthetics — ranging from warm-toned residential flooring to polished corporate meeting spaces.
Metal Construction & Phosphor Copper Contacts
Internally, the socket contacts are crafted from 0.6 mm phosphor copper with a fixed circle ring to ensure robust pin retention during repeated insertions. For the 15A round socket variant, this thickness is upgraded to 0.7 mm. The bracket materials can be chosen from iron, aluminum, or zinc alloy, providing options to balance performance, weight, and cost. The pop-up bar mechanism is available in either plastic or aluminum. Installation boxes are provided in black iron or silver iron options, allowing for customization based on site requirements.

Where to Specify This Recessed Floor Socket
Guidelines for contractors and interior designers in specifying a pop-up floor socket.
Application Use Cases
Pop-up floor sockets are well-suited for open-plan living rooms to provide power under sofas and coffee tables where wall sockets may not be accessible. In hotel lobbies or conference rooms, they offer discreet power access for cleaning equipment or guest devices without intrusive trunking. In commercial offices, these sockets significantly reduce cable runs across walkways with installations beneath desks and in meeting spaces.
Pop-Up Type Selection
Fast pop-up: A spring-loaded mechanism quickly raises the socket module for standard applications. Reliable and cost-effective.
Slow pop-up: A damped mechanism opens smoothly and silently, ideal for premium residential and hotel designs requiring enhanced user experiences. Both retracted types sit flush with the surface when closed.
Installation Notes
The C11 recessed floor socket requires a 120×120 mm floor box cutout. Installation boxes feature black iron or silver iron finishes, tailored for site-specific needs. Compliant with flooring standards, it rests flat against finished surfaces. Preparations around concrete, raised, or timber subfloors ensure moisture is sealed away from the box edge during installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a floor socket used for?
A floor socket provides power access directly in the floor, useful in open-plan spaces where wall sockets are too far away. Common locations include beneath sofas and desks in living rooms and offices, in hotel lobbies for cleaning access, and in conference rooms for presentation equipment. The C11 pop-up floor socket retracts flush when closed, staying out of sight and out of the way.
Are floor outlets a good idea?
Yes, floor outlets are a practical solution for open-plan spaces. They eliminate the need for extension leads trailing across floors to reach distant wall sockets. A quality floor mounted socket like the C11 sits flush when closed and is safe for foot traffic. The stainless steel cover resists scratches and the pop-up mechanism protects the internal outlets from dust and spills.
Do floor sockets need special wiring?
Floor sockets generally use the same wiring principles as standard wall sockets, but the installation environment demands extra care. The wiring must be protected within conduit or trunking beneath the floor surface, and the floor box must be properly sealed against moisture. This recessed floor socket is supplied with an installation box designed for this purpose. A qualified electrician must carry out the installation in accordance with local building and wiring regulations.
What are floor plugs called?
They are commonly called floor sockets, ground sockets, floor outlets, or recessed floor sockets. “Pop-up floor socket” specifically refers to the type with a retractable mechanism that rises for use and sinks flush when closed — exactly the design of the C11. In some markets, they may also be referred to as floor boxes or underfloor power outlets.
