NewerTech Announces UL-Listed AC/USB Outlet for Powering and/or Charging Four Devices Simultaneously
Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech, a developer of Macintosh®, PC, iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad® performance upgrades and accessories, announced its Power2U™ AC/USB Wall Outlet. The Power2U is described as the first home-safe, UL-Listed in-wall charging solution available to enhance living and working spaces by eliminating the clutter created by multiple cables and unsightly bulky power adapters.
Well suited for homes with users of multiple USB-chargeable devices, the Power2U is available in four decorator colors to blend seamlessly into any residential wall as a standard power outlet. By incorporating two traditional three-prong AC wall sockets in addition to two USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 ports, the Power2U transforms an ordinary wall into a modern, centralized location for charging/powering up to four devices simultaneously.
The Power2U is a basic ’DIY’ install on any 15A circuit with a 16-cubic-inch electrical box. In addition to being convenient to use, the Power2U provides two energy efficiency features. The intelligent Smart Power design only outputs enough charging power to meet the requirements of the device that is attached. The specially designed spring-loaded Safety Shutters completely turn off power to the USB ports when a connecting cable is removed.
While priced at $24.99 MSRP, the Newer Technology Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet is available from retailers and Newer Technology’s exclusive distributor, Other World Computing (OWC®) for as low as $19.99.
