Electrical manufacturer Legrand has launched the Excel Life Dual USB Charging Module; a super-fast, versatile module for charging multiple mobile devices simultaneously at their maximum speed, from the convenience of a powerpoint or switchplate.

In one convenient unit, this product addresses Australia’s high demand for charging mobile products and the current frustration of not having enough powerpoints to charge them in.

Delivering a market-leading specification in USB charging, with a 4.2A maximum total charging capacity – 2.1A (or 10W) per USB socket, this dual connection design allows charging of any combination of mobile devices, including two tablets, smart phones, digital cameras, MP3 players and GPS without the need for the original manufacturers charger.

To assemble, just insert the dual USB charging module into the extra hole of any single or double Legrand Excel Life powerpoint, or one to six gang switchplate configuration. The installation then simply involves wiring the Active and Neutral cables with the mains cable, then inserting the charger into the wall cavity to complete the installation.

The Legrand Excel Life Dual USB Charging Module is ideal for residential applications including kitchens, bedrooms and home offices, as well as commercial spaces, such as airport lounges, universities, schools, hospitality and retail venues. And the design is perfectly matched for seamless integration, sitting flush with the coverplate.

Featuring surge protection, any connected mobile devices are safe from power surges and other voltage disturbances while charging. Overload protection also limits the current supplied to a mobile device, in case of a short circuit on the USB cable, protecting valuable devices from any electrical damage.

Exceeding the AS/NZS 4665 Standard relating to Performance of External Power Supplies, with a Level 5 compliance, the Excel Life Dual USB Charging Module delivers superior energy efficiency and achieves the lowest possible stand-by power consumption of <0.15W.
