This is a clever idea by my client: a socket adaptor that reverses the orientation of the plug and the direction of the cable. It solves problems where space is limited, or where the user wants to reduce the amount of cable that is exposed.

The adaptor is designed to comply with electrical regulations, such as the apertures for the plug pins being closed when no plug is connected.

The design was developed in CAD and tested with 3D printed prototypes on a real socket outlet before moving towards manufacture.
