USB port to charge from wall
The new wall outlet allows users to charge USB devices directly from the wall, without the need to plug into a computer and cause desk clutter.
The outlet is easy to install, and can replace an existing outlet on a 15-Amp circuit. All four ports can be used simultaneously, and a built in power saving feature will deliver only as much power to the USB ports as needed by the USB device.
A shutter automatically closes over the USB port when it is not in use, protecting the port and preventing vampire power drain.
