There are a lot of electronics that use USB cords. As more devices use the USB technology, the more adapters you need. It can be hard to keep track of the adapters, and they are easily damaged. Instead of fussing around with the adapters and utilising the outlets, have a USB powerpoint installed.
What is a USB Powerpoint?
A USB powerpoint is a standard power point that also includes a USB plug. Having a power point with USB installed gives you the ability to free up sockets when you are charging your USB devices.
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is an industry standard interface that many electronic devices use. You will often find USB ports on phone and tablet charging cables. USB plugs are also found on flash drives, keyboard, mice, blu ray players, and more.
Devices that need to be charged using a USB cord often require a wall adapter. When charging the device, you must charge the adapter into a regular power point socket. When the device is charging, the plug is unavailable for other electronics.
USB wall sockets are available in a wide range of combinations. Our electricians will work with you to determine the best combinations for your needs.
Benefits of USB Powerpoint Installation
If you charge your phone or other electronic devices using a USB cord and adapter, you have had to unplug it to plug something else in. We have all been through it. It can be a hassle.
Having a USB powerpoint installed will help remove this frustration. But that is not the only benefit of power point installation.
Benefits of having a powerpoint with USB installed includes:
- You Do Not Need an Adapter
Adapters are an inconvenience. They are easily misplaced and bulky. When you have a USB powerpoint installed, you will be able to plug the USB cable directly into the outlet without having an adapter.
- Increases Number of Charging Stations
In some homes, there is a single charging location. If someone is using the adapter and the outlet you must wait to charge your device. When you have USB wall sockets installed throughout your home, you will be freeing up outlets. And everyone can charge at the same time.
- Convenience
Having multiple USB powerpoints installed throughout your home is convenient. You can charge your devices anywhere there is an outlet. And you can often use them while they are charging.
- Charge Faster
USB powerpoints charge devices faster. When you plug your device into an adapter, laptop, TV, etc. the electricity is not directly charging your device. Plugging it into a USB Powerpoint can increase the speed by 40%.
- Durable
Adapters are prone to damage. And they are easily lost. When you have a USB powerpoint installed, you will no longer have to worry about damaged or lost adapters.
- More Energy Efficient
Since USB powerpoints provide direct current, they are more energy efficient. They do not use any standby power. So, after the device is charged, it will not consume any more energy.
- Versatile
USB powerpoints are versatile. You can use them to power a wide range of devices from smartphones and tablets to digital cameras and gaming devices.
- Increases Safety
Overloading is a huge issue. When there are a lot of devices plugged into one circuit, there is a fire risk. A USB powerpoint helps to reduce the risk.
