Switched Socket with USB Type-C from British Standard 13A — USB-C Charging Socket with the option for a panel made of Glass.
The DN71489C has been designed and manufactured in the UK to meet the country’s 13A glass switched socket requirement as per the standard. This product features a USB Type-C charging port embedded into the glass wall plate so there’s no need to install plug-in adapters for charging purposes. So with this dongle, the 13A socket available can be reserved exclusively for other appliances in the meantime while charging mobile phones, tablets, and other gadgets from USB Type C socket. The switch with indication light has been built for providing local isolation of the 13A outgoing socket whereas the USB charging circuit works on its own and keeps charging devices when the socket is turned off. The glass surface used here has a skin feeling feature which results in a superior touch experience. The socket has been produced in three types of materials — PC, glass, and aluminum. Please note that the used 0.6mm phosphor contacts guarantee correct retention of all standard BS1363 plugs in the provided socket.
We are direct manufacturers of glass USB-C sockets and offer great wholesale prices, OEM branding of your choice for any panel material, and a warranty of 12 years for the DN71 range.

Glass USB-C Socket vs Standard Glass Socket: When to Upgrade to Built‑In USB Charging
A practical guide to specifying glass UK switched sockets with integrated USB Type-C for residential, hotel, and commercial installations.
DN71489C (Glass USB-C) vs DN71405 Series (Glass Standard) — Which Glass Socket for Which Room?
The DN71489C USB Type-C glass socket is perfect for any location where a lot of charging is done thanks to its elegant glass finish. For bedside tables: charge your mobile phone through the USB-C port while the 13A glass socket is used to power the lamp. For kitchen worktops: charge your tablet while the glass socket powers the kettle or toaster. For office desks: use USB-C for charging the mobile and the glass socket for powering the computer. For hotel rooms: the guests have the BS1363 glass socket for charging as well as USB-C charging option. The DN71405 series glass sockets are prescribed for locations where only power sockets are needed and USB charging takes place at some other location.
Does the USB-C Port Work When the Glass Switch Is Off?
Yes, the USB Type‑C port on DN71489C works independently from SP socket switch. The USB module gets it’s power from the mains, so it continues to charge devices even with the 13A glass port switched off. The neon indicator shows only the status of the socket, and not the USB power which is always available if the switch is on. This design is intentional as it allows disabling of the glass power socket for safety, while keeping the USB port live for overnight charging.
Panel Material Selection — PC, Tempered Glass, or Aluminum?
PC panel: Affordably priced and reasonably durable with touch-feel surface — the go‑to product for residential living and hospitality work. Tempered glass panel: The luxury option with glossy finish and resistance to fingerprints — the right selection for high-end residential projects and boutique hotel works. Brushed aluminum panel: Characteristic metallic industrial design without the possibility of scratches — making this the right solution for any modern commercial interior. All three products are identical in size of 88×86mm, equipped with USB‑C charging module.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a glass socket with USB Type-C?
A wall outlet for electric current featuring a USB Type-C is an electric wall socket with a tempered glass front equipped with a USB Type-C charging port in the wall socket. The DN71489C is classified as a 13A UK switched socket which meets the British standard. It includes one BS1363 3-pin socket, a switch with a neon indicator, and a Type-C socket, all in an 88×86mm glass case that you can touch endlessly. This socket can charge up modern phones and tablets using USB Type-C without using an adapter.
Does the USB-C port work when the glass switch is off?
Yes, the Type‑C USB port of the DN71489C works independently of the SP switch. The USB port provides power to the devices as long as the electricity is coming into the consumer unit. In addition, the neon indicator lights up when the socket is powered on, but it does not indicate whether the power is present on the Type-C USB port, nor whether it is already providing device charging as soon as the mains supply starts powering.
Is this glass socket compliant with British standards?
Indeed, the DN71489C is a British Standards-compliant glass socket with internal safety shutters for both the live and neutral terminals. It can accommodate any type of BS1363 3-pin plug safety-certified for use in countries following British Standard. The product is also IEC certified in the UK and anywhere else British 86mm wall boxes are used, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, GCC countries, and Malaysia.
What panel materials is this glass USB-C socket available in?
The DN71489C comes with three different high-end finishing options: PC (a strong polycarbonate with a skin-like surface, affordable for mass production), tempered glass (shiny surface, resistant to fingerprints, perfect for luxurious interiors), and brushed aluminum (metal finish that is resistant to scratches, suitable for new age commercial environments). The three finishes share the same ultra-slim design measuring 88×86 mm, same USB‑C charger, and a guarantee for 12 years.
