Combined sockets

Modern design and functionality: combination sockets for the interior

Combination sockets are a convenient solution for any home or office where multiple types of electrical devices need to be used. They combine multiple sockets along with USB ports for charging mobile devices.

Types and features

A power combination outlet combines two different types of connectors, such as RJ-45, USB, HDMI, TV, in one convenient housing, allowing for simultaneous connection of a computer and a phone, for example. This enables the efficient utilization of space without taking up too much room.

Surface-mounted combination outlets can be installed directly on the wall without the need for additional socket boxes or other elements. On the other hand, recessed combination outlets are installed in special boxes embedded in the walls, allowing for cable and component concealment, resulting in a neater and more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the space.

The contacts of combination outlets are made of phosphor bronze, which provides protection against ignition throughout the entire period of operation.

There are also two types of configurations available - pre-assembled and modular. The pre-assembled type has a built-in printed circuit board and modules, making it more affordable but not repairable in case of malfunctions. Therefore, the modular type is more popular as it offers flexibility and allows for easy replacement or repair of individual modules.

Combination sockets with interchangeable modules are in demand among both private users and professional installers. They can be combined with various modules, allowing for versatile configurations. For example, they can be used for connecting phones and computers that may differ in category and shielding type.

Benefits of combination sockets

Among the advantages of such devices, the ability to combine and install multiple modules stands out, which saves space and facilitates the installation process. Furthermore, if repairs are needed, the components and the combination outlet itself can be easily replaced. It is important to note that no special equipment is required for installation, and operating the device is simple and does not require any special skills.

Compliance

The European standard CENELEC regulates not only the requirements for electrical, mechanical, and thermal equipment but also the safety measures for connecting devices. This means that the dimensions, shape, installation, voltage, and current ratings of combination outlets must comply with the standards set in this standard.

Furthermore, there are requirements for electrical devices regarding manufacturing methods, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance.
