A ‘gang’ is a single switch or plug socket, so a 2-gang socket has 2 plug sockets, and a 3-gang has 3 sockets.
‘Gang’ describes the number of switches on the plug socket plate, therefore multi-gang sockets, such as 2 or 3-gang sockets, allowing you to plug in and power multiple appliances at once. These are handy for areas like kitchens or offices where you often use lots of electronic appliances.
