Schneider Electric single electrical socket with shutters, cream color, model EPH2800223

Schneider Electric single electrical socket with shutters in cream color is a recessed wall outlet intended for standard mains use in domestic and light commercial installations. The model provides the convenience of a single power point with integrated protective shutters that reduce the risk of accidental contact and limit dust ingress. The neutral cream finish matches many interior palettes and the socket is designed for flush mounting in standard back boxes.

Advantages

The socket’s integrated protective shutters block access to live and neutral contacts when a plug is not present, increasing safety in environments with children or where accidental contact is a concern. The compact, single-module design saves wall space and simplifies replacement of existing single outlets. The neutral cream color provides a discreet appearance that blends with contemporary and classic interiors. Materials and construction are selected for reliable electrical continuity and long service life under normal operating conditions.
