Product Details

Key Specifications & Features It’s rated for 3 Pin, “international” format, dual sockets with USB & indicator. (For example, this variant: 3-Pin international socket + USB adaptor + indicator. ) Brand: Orbit Switch India Pvt Ltd (Orbit) — reliable Indian brand. Finish / Colour: White – consistent with typical modular accessories in India. Material / build hints: The specification for one 10 A 2-in-1 socket lists “Strong and Sturdy Polycarbonate body” and “Fire Retardant”. Safety features: For the “10 A 2-in-1 socket with safety shutter” variant: Rated: 10 A / 240 V AC Child safety shutter included. Dust-free glossy finish. Modular module size: The “2-in-1 socket” example (10 A) is 2 Module width. Voltage Rating: 240 V AC (in the listing) for the 10 A version. --- Typical Use & Considerations Suitable for standard residential use in India (240 V AC mains) for up to 10 A load — e.g., light appliances, electronics, smaller loads. Good when you want a modular socket (fits into a modular plate/frame system) with decent build quality and safety features (shutters, good finish). If you already have a modular-faceplate wiring system (in Chennai / Tamil Nadu or elsewhere) the Orbit socket helps maintain consistent aesthetics and compatibility. Because of features like safety shutters and sturdy build, it can be preferred in areas with children, guest rooms, or where plug insertion/removal happens frequently. --- Things to Verify / Before Purchase & Installation Confirm the Rating: If it’s advertised as “10 A socket”, verify that the socket is indeed rated for 10 A (and appropriate for your load). Some sockets might carry other ratings. Module Size: Ensure the socket is the correct width (1M, 2M) to fit your modular plate & frame system. The 10 A 2-in-1 example is “2 Module”. Voltage Compatibility: The listing shows 240 V AC for this variant. Confirm that matches your installation. Safety Features: If you need child-proof shutters, dust resistance, sturdy build – check for those features explicitly. The 10A variant listing does mention shutter. Finish & Matching: Make sure the socket’s finish (white, design) matches your other switches/sockets for a cohesive look. Brand & Authenticity: Ensure you’re buying genuine Orbit product (correct labeling, ISI mark if applicable, authorized seller) to avoid poor quality. Installation: Proper mounting in a modular faceplate/box, correct earthing/grounding, proper wiring gauge for the load are all essential. Load vs Rating: Even though socket is rated 10 A, if you’re plugging in a heavy appliance (e.g., high current motor, water heater, large UPS) you might need a higher rating socket (16 A or more). Environmental Conditions: In Chennai / Tamil Nadu (coastal/humid) ensure that the socket is installed in dry conditions, sealed well, and that the finish material (polycarbonate) is suitable for the settings   Summary If you are looking for a 10 A socket from Orbit, you’ll want a product that matches the above kind of specification: 10 A rating, modular fit (1M/2M), good build (polycarbonate, fire-retardant), safety shutters, suitable for 240 V AC. The Orbit X1 socket above is a good example of the brand’s socket offering, and you should expect similar features in the 10 A version.
