Buy Switches, Sockets & Plugs Accessories in the UAE

A switch plate that does not sit flush. A socket faceplate that wobbles on its box. A blank plate is missing where a conduit was capped off. A TV outlet that has no coaxial connection. These are the details that separate a professional electrical fit-out from an unfinished one — and they are all solved by one category: wiring accessories.

Switches, sockets, and plugs do not install themselves in isolation. Behind every neat, finished electrical installation in a UAE home, office, hospitality property, or commercial space is a complete set of accessories that make the system work, look professional, and comply with BS standards.

FEPY's Switches, Sockets & Plugs Accessories range covers everything needed to complete a wiring device installation from back box to faceplate — including GI and PVC back boxes, grid frames and modules, blank plates, cover plates, TV and coaxial outlets, USB and data outlets, connection units, fused spur units, and flex outlet plates — sourced from the UAE's most trusted wiring device brands.

How to Select the Right Wiring Accessories for Your Project?

Every component in this category serves a specific function in completing a wiring device installation. Here is a practical guide to selecting the right accessory for each application:

Back Boxes — GI and PVC:

• A back box is the recessed enclosure installed in the wall before plastering, into which the switch or socket faceplate is later mounted. Selecting the correct back box is the foundation of a neat, professional flush-mounted wiring device installation.
• GI (Galvanised Iron) Back Boxes: MK's 3×3 inch (1-gang) and 3×6 inch (2-gang) GI flush-mounted metal boxes at FEPY provide a rigid, accurately dimensioned enclosure for UAE residential and commercial installations — with multiple conduit entry knockouts, an integral earthing point, and fixing lugs for secure mounting in blockwork and gypsum board. GI back boxes are the professional standard for premium switch and socket installations where absolute rigidity, level faceplates, and long-term durability are required.​
• PVC Back Boxes: Legrand Synergy PVC back boxes in 1-gang (50mm depth) and 2-gang configurations offer a lightweight, non-conductive alternative suited to standard residential and light commercial installations. Particularly useful in gypsum partition walls, where a non-metallic box reduces installation complexity and eliminates the need for earthing the box itself.​
• Box Depth Selection: Standard 25mm depth back boxes suit most switching and socket applications. Deeper 35mm–47mm boxes are required for dimmers, smart modules, shaver sockets, and any accessory with deeper-than-standard rear components. Always check the accessory manufacturer's recommended minimum box depth before ordering.​

Blank Plates and Cover Plates:

• A blank plate is a flush faceplate with no electrical function — used to cover unused conduit positions, redundant back boxes, and planned-but-not-yet-used wiring locations in residential, commercial, and hotel installations. Blank plates must be specified in the same brand and finish as the rest of the wiring devices in the room to maintain a consistent, professional aesthetic across every wall plate in the installation.​
• Cover plates serve the same function for adaptable boxes and surface-mounted conduit termination points where a neat external finish is required without an active wiring device.

Grid Frames and Grid Modules:

• Grid wiring systems — used by brands like MK and Schneider — allow individual functional modules (switches, sockets, dimmers, TV outlets, USB chargers, data points) to be snapped into a common grid frame, which then mounts on a standard back box behind a single faceplate.
• This modular approach gives electricians and installers the flexibility to configure exactly the right combination of functions on any faceplate — for example, a 3-gang plate combining one 2-way switch, one dimmer module, and one USB charging port — without needing a purpose-made multi-function accessory. Grid systems are the standard specification for high-specification UAE hospitality, office, and premium residential projects where bespoke multi-function wall plates are required.

TV Coaxial and Aerial Outlets:

• TV coaxial outlets provide a neat, faceplate-mounted connection point for television aerial (coaxial) cable — delivering a professional finish to AV connections in living rooms, bedrooms, hotel guestrooms, and meeting rooms.​
• Legrand Synergy TV and screened TV outlets at FEPY are designed to sit flush in the same faceplate frame as Legrand switch and socket modules — allowing a TV outlet and a switched socket to be combined on one plate for a clean, integrated AV wall point.
• Schneider Electric Vivace TV coaxial outlets deliver the same premium integration in the Vivace wiring device range — ideal for high-specification UAE residential and hospitality AV installations.

USB and Data Outlets:

• USB outlets allow smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices to charge directly from a wall outlet without an adapter. Legrand and Schneider USB socket modules at FEPY integrate seamlessly into their respective wiring device ranges, providing USB-A and USB-C charging ports alongside standard 13A switched sockets on a single faceplate — increasingly standard in UAE apartments, hotel rooms, and office fit-outs.​
• Data outlets (RJ45 Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet points) provide structured cabling network access points in offices, data rooms, and smart home installations. Specifying brand-matched data outlet modules ensures a consistent finish across both power and data wall points throughout the installation.

Flex Outlet Plates and Connection Units:

• A flex outlet plate (or cable outlet) provides a neat faceplate-mounted exit point for a fixed appliance's power cable — used where an appliance is hardwired, but its cable must emerge through the wall plate rather than connecting to a standard socket. Legrand Synergy's 45A flex outlet at FEPY is the standard specification for hardwired kitchen appliances, AV equipment, and fixed commercial equipment in UAE installations.​
• A fused connection unit (FCU / spur unit) provides a fused, switched, or unswitched connection point for fixed hardwired appliances — such as extractor fans, boilers, water heaters, and underfloor heating controllers — where a fused outlet is required rather than a plug-in socket. Available in switched and unswitched configurations with or without neon indicators.​

FAQs

What is included in the Switches, Sockets & Plugs Accessories category at FEPY?

This category covers all the finishing and supporting components that complete a professional wiring device installation — including GI and PVC back boxes, blank and cover plates, grid frames and modules, TV and coaxial outlets, USB and data outlets, flex outlet plates, fused connection units, and wiring accessories from Legrand, MK Electric, Schneider, and Veto.

What is a back box, and why does it matter for a flush-mounted switch or socket?

A back box is the recessed metal or PVC enclosure installed in the wall cavity before plastering, into which the switch or socket faceplate is flush-mounted after the wall is finished. The quality, rigidity, and correct depth of the back box directly determine whether the finished faceplate sits level, flush, and rattle-free in the wall — or sits crooked, proud, or loose. MK's GI back boxes at FEPY are the professional standard for UAE residential and commercial flush-mounted wiring device installations.

What is the difference between a GI back box and a PVC back box?

A GI (Galvanised Iron) back box is made from galvanised steel — providing superior rigidity, accurate dimensions, and long-term durability for flush-mounted installations in blockwork, brick, and gypsum walls. It requires earthing as part of the installation. A PVC back box is lighter and non-conductive. It does not require earthing — making it a practical choice for gypsum partition walls and light commercial installations where metallic boxes are not specified.

What is a grid wiring system, and is it suitable for UAE projects?

A grid wiring system uses a modular approach where individual functional components — switches, dimmers, USB chargers, TV outlets, data points — are snapped into a standardised grid frame, which mounts on a back box behind a single faceplate. It gives UAE electricians, interior designers, and fit-out contractors the flexibility to create bespoke multi-function wall plates for any combination of power, control, and data functions — particularly valued in hospitality, corporate office, and premium residential projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What is a TV coaxial outlet, and when do I need one?

A TV coaxial outlet is a wall-mounted faceplate fitting that provides a neat, safe connection point for a television aerial (coaxial) cable — replacing loose cables taped to the wall with a professional, integrated wall plate solution. They are specified in living rooms, bedrooms, hotel guestrooms, meeting rooms, and any space with an AV television connection. Legrand Synergy and Schneider Vivace TV coaxial outlets at FEPY sit flush within their respective wiring device faceplate frames for a fully integrated, brand-consistent finish.

What back box depth do I need for a dimmer switch in the UAE?

Standard 25mm back boxes are insufficient for most dimmer switches. Dimmer modules require a minimum box depth of 35mm, and many modern LED dimmers with larger electronics need 47mm deep back boxes. Always check the dimmer manufacturer's specifications for minimum back box depth before ordering — using a shallow back box with a deep-module dimmer results in a faceplate that cannot sit flush against the wall, creating an untidy finish and potential safety issue.

What is a fused connection unit (FCU) and where is it used?

A fused connection unit (FCU), also known as a fused spur unit, is a wiring device that provides a permanently connected, fused outlet for a hardwired appliance — such as an extractor fan, boiler, water heater, or commercial kitchen appliance — where a plug-in socket is not appropriate. It contains an internal fuse protecting the appliance flex, and is available in switched or unswitched, with or without a flex outlet, and with or without a neon indicator. FCUs are a standard specification on UAE residential and commercial electrical projects, wherever fixed appliances need local isolation.​

Can I mix brands of wiring accessories on the same project?

Technically, yes — but it is strongly inadvisable. Different wiring device brands use different faceplate profiles, screw fixing centres, module clip dimensions, and back box mounting specs. Mixing brands within the same room or even on the same wall produces visually inconsistent faceplates that immediately signal an unprofessional installation. FEPY stocks complete accessory ranges from Legrand, MK Electric, Schneider, and Veto — giving you everything you need to maintain brand consistency from back box to finished faceplate across every room in the project.

What is a flex outlet plate, and how is it different from a standard socket?

A flex outlet plate is a faceplate with an open or grommet-protected slot through which a hardwired appliance's power cable exits the wall, rather than a standard socket into which a plug is inserted. It is used for fixed appliances that are permanently connected to the circuit, such as mounted televisions, kitchen ovens, AV equipment racks, and commercial machinery, where the appliance is never unplugged during normal use. Legrand Synergy's 45A flex outlet at FEPY is the correct specification for these applications in UAE residential and commercial fit-outs.​

Does FEPY offer bulk pricing on wiring accessories for fit-out contractors?

Yes. Fit-out contractors, MEP companies, and electrical businesses consuming back boxes, blank plates, grid modules, and outlet accessories in large quantities across multi-room and multi-floor projects can access FEPY's contractor bulk pricing. Given that every switch and socket position in a building requires at a minimum a back box and a blank plate during rough-in. Every AV and data point requires an outlet module; the volume of accessories on a large fit-out project is significant, and FEPY's bulk pricing is designed to make that volume cost-efficient.

Want to Get the Most from FEPY? Here's How:

• Get Free Consultation from our Experts: The most expensive mistake in wiring accessories is ordering the wrong back box depth, the wrong gang size, or missing blank plates for capped-off conduit positions — only discovering it on site when the plasterer has finished. Before you order, send FEPY your room schedule with switch types, socket configurations, and AV/data outlet locations. Our team will compile a complete, itemised accessory list — back boxes, modules, blank plates, TV outlets, and data points — matched by brand, gang, and depth to every position in your project.
• Order Back Boxes at First Fix, Accessories at Second Fix: The professional approach to wiring accessory procurement is to order back boxes and conduit accessories at first-fix stage, and faceplates, modules, blank plates, and outlet covers at second-fix stage — after walls are plastered and painted. FEPY supports this split-order workflow with fast UAE-wide delivery at both stages, so your team always has what they need exactly when they need it.
• Keep a Blank Plate Buffer on Every Project: Blank plates are the most frequently forgotten item on an accessory order — discovered missing only when the site foreman does the final inspection walk. Order a 10–15% buffer of blank plates above your calculated quantity on every project, and return any unused ones. FEPY's easy return policy makes this a risk-free safety net against last-minute shortages.
• Join FEPY PRO for Fit-Out Accessory Advantages: FEPY PRO is built for fit-out contractors and MEP businesses that specify, order, and install wiring accessories at volume across multiple simultaneous projects. PRO members get bespoke pricing on Legrand, MK, and Schneider accessory ranges, priority stock allocation for large batch orders, a dedicated account manager who tracks your accessory schedules across projects, and consolidated monthly invoicing — reducing your procurement overhead on every fit-out you deliver.​
