End Power Struggles In Your Home

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 | Author: OWC Larry

Most households suffer from power struggles… No, not just those kinds of power struggles, but the kind that comes when a family has too many electronic devices, and not enough adapters or unused power outlets. Using my own family as an example, when the batteries run low, it can become a game of “Where’s Waldo?” – first to find the charger the kids recently used (and now can’t remember where it is) wins!

Fortunately, OWC has a solution that can bring your family harmony. The Newer Technology Power2U is the first UL listed AC/USB in-wall outlet designed to charge/power up to four devices at once with two traditional three-prong AC wall sockets and two USB ports giving you one location to charge your AC and USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 devices!

The Power2U features an energy-efficient “Smart Power” design with spring-loaded safety shutters that reduce energy costs by providing only the charging amount needed and eliminating “vampire” draw. The Power2U is also “kid friendly” with NEC tamper resistant receptacles for peace-of-mind protection!

Available in four colors, Power2U comes in 15 Amp and 20 Amp models for residential, commercial, hospitality, education, and municipal applications. Both models just require a 16 cubic inch or larger electrical box with the proper circuit. And to help make this a basic “DIY” installation into a standard wall outlet box, a step-by-step manual is included and an installation video is available at http://www.newertech.com/p2u-install. The Power 2U is sure to end your family’s power struggles and make your home “today ready” for your digital lifestyle!

Patented, UL Listed Design Complements Any Décor

Users can access two traditional three-prong AC wall sockets in addition to two USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 ports without encountering ‘plug barriers’ found on similar devices that can prevent multiple devices from being charged/powered simultaneously.
