2-Prong Sabre socket is the second generation, more modern design of plug and socket paring. It is almost identical to plugging a lamp into a wall socket, except that in the fencing pairing, the plug is also clipped to the socket to keep the electrical connection intact against all the strong blade movements of fencing. This two-prong socket is built with a firm understanding of the forces that must be contained and directed. It fits snugly around two-prong plug, maintains good conductivity and is affordable.
