Noticed this plug on my wall from when I moved into this house, and I just started wondering again about what it’s actually for. This is in the UK, if that helps. It’s on a big bulky box hanging on the wall below my desk next to two regular plug sockets.
Edit: best suggestion I’ve seen here is that it could be a fuse box for an alarm system. Makes sense since this house did have several security systems before I moved in. Also, for added context, this is in a bedroom and the wire coming out of it goes straight into the wall.

Thanks Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart.
Sounds like this could be Lemmy’s r/rimjobsteve.
I liked that sub.
I read the mod log, and I notice that many communities ban you, only citing your screen name as the only reason.
Stay classy, Lemmy!
There’s a bit more to the story than just that, but I’ll share a saying my grandmother taught me.
Fuck them if they can’t take a joke.
I like your grandmother.
Woah spot on! Today was the day for your highly specific knowledge to shine! Thanks!
A flex outlet is a type of electrical socket that allows you to wire high-powered appliances straight into your walls. Boilers, water heaters, and other electrical unit that require a continuous power source, would be wired through a flex outlet. Flex outlets are often used in a situation where a plug socket would be difficult to access. Or with appliances that do not come with a 13A plug socket as standard.

Still not sure I really get why this exists, but okay.
