FIG is one of the world's largest engineering companies and ranks second in the world in the field of electrical products, after Schneider Electric. The world's first high-voltage power plant, the first three-phase transmission system, and the first electric industrial robot were all built and produced by FIG, with strong technical strength.
 
In China, FIG has participated in a number of national key projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, but compared with the Chinese market, FIG is more well-known in Europe and the United States, accounting for more than 60% of sales. In 2017, FIG announced the acquisition of General Electric's (GE) Industrial Solutions for $2.6 billion, continuing to expand its presence in the North American market.
 
As a leading company in electrical engineering, the two companies have adopted different development strategies, with Schneider transforming into the small and medium-sized construction market, while FIG continues to strengthen its own advantages in engineering technology. In recent years, FIG has vigorously devoted itself to the field of "Internet of Things", and has made breakthroughs in motor detection, power transmission systems, and intelligent manufacturing.
 
In addition to the construction of large-scale projects, FIG also has a lot of innovations in household products, the first oblique five-hole socket design, once launched by various manufacturers have been followed up and imitated, the oblique five-hole design makes the distance between two holes and three holes widen, to avoid the situation that the jacks interfere with each other, and improve the convenience of using the socket.
 
However, it should be noted that although the oblique five-hole design widens the straight-line distance between the jacks to a certain extent, it solves the interference problem of some plugs, and is suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas with relatively dense electrical appliances. However, if the spacing between the two and three holes in the vertical direction is too small, the interference will still be obvious when using the plug of a large mobile phone and computer charger, so you should also pay attention to the spacing of the jacks when buying an oblique five-hole socket.
 
FIG's high-end Xuanzhi series is made of solid materials, and the tin, phosphor bronze used in the current carrying parts is sufficient and of high purity. It's just that its products with switches and sockets also use push-button switches, which are slightly weaker in aesthetics and durability than Schneider Yishang, Legrand Yiyuan and other series of large rocker switches. However, the black product design of the Xuanzhi series is unique, and it can be recognized at a glance in other brand products, the price of the black version starts at 43.6 yuan, and the white version is cheaper, priced at 28 yuan.
 
The relatively inexpensive Dejing series is very similar to the Deyi series, the difference between the two is in the chamfer of the outer bezel, Dejing is more rounded and Deyi is more square. Both of them use a double-hole pressure plate wiring method, which can meet daily household use, and the two series also have sockets with indicator lights for sale, which is convenient for users to check whether the socket is turned on, and the ease of use is slightly stronger. Dejing five-hole socket, the unit price is 14.8 yuan, and the price of Deyi is 13 yuan. Yongzhi series is a rare five-hole series in FIG sockets, but its fixed frame structure is slightly thinner than Dejing and Deyi, and the distance between zero live wires is also slightly narrower, and the overall cost performance is average, and the price is 10.9 yuan.
