by Shane Henson — December 23, 2011—Current Werks, an innovator in green mobile power storage and charging devices, has made it easy and cost-effective for facilities managers to help their buildings save energy while providing Universal Serial Bus (USB) charging ports through the launch of two USB wall outlets: the Quattro and Duo.
According to Current Werks, the Quattro is the first product in the industry that replaces a standard electrical wall outlet with four powerful USB charging ports. The Quattro’s four USB ports deliver a combined output of 22 Watts, making the Quattro the most powerful in-wall charging solution available anywhere. The Quattro also features an innovative tamper-resistant door that when closed completely eliminates standby power, also known as “vampire power.” The Quattro has the ability to replace four bulky USB AC adapters with one wall outlet.
The Duo features two powerful in-wall USB charging ports delivering 16Watts of output power from a standard 110V wall outlet. The Duo’s advanced power management design gives the consumer a total of four charging solutions—two USB charging ports and two standard US/CAN sockets—from a single wall outlet. This makes the Duo the second most powerful in-wall charging solution available in the market today, surpassed only by the Quattro, according to Current Werks. The Duo supports 15Amp and 20Amp wall receptacles.
The Quattro and Duo USB Wall Outlets, with their energy-saving design, are ideal for both commercial and residential applications, says the company. They are powerful enough to provide the fastest charge available to even the most power-hungry portable devices, such as Apple’s iPad and iPhone as well as Android smartphones and tablets. The Quattro and Duo outlets are designed to maximize charging power and wall outlet space available for charging, while eliminating unnecessary charging wall clutter.
The Quattro and Duo will be available in white, light almond and ivory. The Duo can be ordered in regular or decorator style.
