Schneider Electric Unica X Series: Ultra-Slim Luxury Switches & Sockets for Modern Spaces
As a global leader in energy management and automation, Schneider Electric has always been committed to blending innovation, functionality, and aesthetics into every product. The Unica X series, a premium range of slimline stainless-steel switches and sockets, is a perfect embodiment of this philosophy. Launched globally with Hong Kong as the first rollout region, Unica X redefines the standard of electrical accessories with its ultra-slim design, premium craftsmanship, and versatile functionality — ideal for elevating the elegance of modern homes, hotels, and commercial spaces alike.
The Unica X series breaks through the limitations of traditional switches and sockets, focusing on three core pillars: slim design, premium quality, and intelligent functionality. With a consistent ultra-slim profile of just 6.5mm for both switches and sockets, it stands as Schneider Electric’s slimmest product to date, seamlessly integrating with wall surfaces to create a minimalist and refined visual effect that complements any interior style — from contemporary minimalism to luxurious classicism.
Crafted from high-quality stainless steel through high-intensity metal forging, each Unica X product undergoes meticulous processing such as sandblasting, electroplating, painting, and anodizing in dust-free workshops, resulting in a velvet-like texture and exceptional durability. The edge of the panel is precision-machined by CNC technology, adding an exquisite touch to the overall design and reflecting the brand’s pursuit of artisanal quality.
The Unica X series offers a comprehensive range of models, covering switches, sockets, and functional combinations, with various specifications, gang counts, and finishes to meet the diverse needs of residential and commercial applications.
