More and more of our “gadgets” are dependent on USB connections for charging devices. (This is an update to a previous post on the U-Socket. Since then I’ve found a couple of other better known suppliers with different solutions to this need.) Cooper Wiring Devices has developed a USB charger within a duplex that can be installed in homes or commercial facilities. (Shown at right) The device has dual USB charging ports rated at 2.1A. The device is UL listed. It replaces a standard duplex.
Pass & Seymour has their own version, but in their version, you lose one electrical outlet. You can see their version here.
