Re: USB Charger Outlet

said by elray:

Beware that gadgets like this sometimes do not permit high enough amperage to charge certain Apple devices.

That's the thing... I'm trying to fight a high amperage outlet so I can charge an iPad with it.

I'm not yet sold on USB duplex outlets. The only legitimate manufacturer marketing them is Cooper, and they aren't getting rave reviews. FastMac's version is UL-listed but reviews are mixed, and I'm not inclined to stuff a massive transformer into an outlet box.

Until the dust settles and we see Leviton selling such a product, I'd stick with something like the Belkin 6-outlet surge suppress #BV106050-CW that fits over an existing outlet and is known to work to charge iPad, though amazingly not officially, and be sure to only plug in one USB device at a time.
