Full Description:
When upgrading or fitting out modern residential and commercial properties in Malaysia, electrical switches and sockets are no longer just utilitarian fittings—they are pivotal interior design Accents. The Schneider UnicaX Series 13A 250V 1 Gang Double Pole Switch Socket Outlet in Dark Bronze (SKU: NUX15D_DB) delivers the ideal synthesis of architectural beauty, raw material strength, and top-tier safety engineering.
Premium Aesthetic Meets Stainless Steel Durability
Crafted from high-grade stainless steel and finished in an elegant Dark Bronze color tint, the Unica X series breaks away from standard white plastic fittings. The metallic texture provides a tactile, luxurious feel that pairs seamlessly with contemporary, industrial, minimalist, and luxury interior design schemes. Unlike traditional plastic faceplates, the metallic stainless steel chassis resists discolouration, wear, and surface impact over prolonged daily use, making it an excellent investment for modern home renovations, luxury hotels, and executive corporate offices.
Double Pole Switching: Enhanced Safety Standard
Safety is paramount in any electrical installation. Unlike standard single-pole sockets that only disconnect the live wire, this Double Pole (2P) switch socket isolates both the Live (L) and Neutral (N) connections when turned off.
- Complete Circuit Isolation: Eliminates the risk of residual current leakage or micro-shocks when appliances remain plugged in.
- Appliance Protection: Ideal for heavy-duty appliances, sensitive kitchen devices, and home entertainment setups.
- Malaysian Electrical Code Compliant: Engineered to meet standard BS 1363 (British Standard for 13A plugs and sockets) and IEC 60884 international safety specifications, ensuring full compliance with Malaysia’s Suruhanjaya Tenaga (Energy Commission) guidelines.

Specification:
Q1: Is Schneider UnicaX 13A Dark Bronze socket compatible with standard Malaysian wall boxes?
A: Yes, the Schneider UnicaX NUX15D_DB is designed according to British Standards (BS 1363) and fits standard flush-mounted electrical backboxes commonly installed in Malaysian homes and commercial buildings.
Q2: What is the benefit of a Double Pole switch socket compared to Single Pole in Malaysia?
A: A Double Pole switch socket disconnects both the Live and Neutral wires simultaneously when switched off, whereas a Single Pole socket only disconnects the Live wire. This offers total electrical isolation, preventing residual voltage shocks and protecting sensitive electronic appliances against wiring faults.

A: Yes, rated at 13A 250V AC, it easily handles standard electrical appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, computers, microwave ovens, and small kitchen equipment.
Q5: What is the rating frequency of Schneider UnicaX switches in Malaysia?
A: The Schneider UnicaX NUX15D_DB operates at a standard network frequency of 50 Hz at 250V AC, fully aligning with Malaysia’s Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) grid standards.
Q6: What does IP20 rating mean for an indoor switch socket?
A: An IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (such as fingers), making it safe for standard dry indoor environments. It is not waterproof and should not be exposed directly to water.
Q7: Why choose Schneider Electric Unica X over basic white switches?
A: Schneider Unica X offers architectural aesthetics, slim profiles, metallic finishes like Dark Bronze, and Double Pole safety construction, making it a premium choice for modern interior designs.
