With so many more connected devices within the home and commercial buildings Clipsal has brought out a USB charging outlet which forgoes the need for a traditional outlet.

Clipsal by Schneider Electric has announced an extension to the USB charger outlet range.

Designed in Australia for Australian conditions and standards, the extension enhances the Saturn Double GPOs with the addition of a single 30USBcm charger as a standard reference, and Saturn Zen Twin Dataplate with twin 30USBcm USB chargers and Smart Shelf.

Ideally suited to new installations in hotels, premium commercial spaces and residential applications, the plates are also easy to retrofit.

This means the plates can be used to upgrade existing Saturn installations with USB charging options, or to provide a facelift from standard plates to the more aesthetically pleasing Saturn range.

Enhanced USB charging performance with BC1.2 compliance and cable compensation, the 30USBcm optimises the charging voltage and current to minimise the time it takes you to charge your portable device.

The charger outlets include short-circuit, over-voltage and over-temperature protection to ensure your portable device is kept safe.
