USB Charging Sockets

A USB charging socket is a wall socket that converts the mains voltage to 5 V DC with its internal power supply, allowing phones, tablets and similar devices to be charged without an adapter. It is used at points where charging is needed often, such as bedsides, work desks, kitchen counters, hotel rooms and waiting areas. This category contains, in white and cream, a 5 V 2 A output USB charging socket in the Viko Karre and Meridian series and a complete model that combines two USB ports and a child-protected grounded socket in the same housing. Compare the USB-only mechanism with the model combined with a grounded socket, the port count, the output current and compatibility with the series on the wall. The 5 V 2 A output rating does not cover the higher voltage or current levels used by fast-charging protocols. A USB charging socket is only a charging output; it should not be confused with a USB connector that carries data or with a data socket used for computer networks.
