At the office, home or school, USB type C has arrived

You’ve probably noticed something strange about many of the latest phones, tablets and laptops: The familiar rectangular Type A USB ports are gone, replaced by smaller oblong connectors. USB type C has taken over at work, at home and at school.

While many iPhone and iPad models stick with Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector, USB type C is now part and parcel of most laptops, phones and tablets made today. Even the latest MacBooks and Chromebooks are part of the movement to USB type C.

What Is USB Type C?

USB type C is a relatively new connector for delivering data and power to and from computing devices. Because the USB type C plug is symmetrical, it can be inserted either way, eliminating the frustrations of earlier USB ports and putting it on a par with Apple’s reversible Lightning plug.

What's more, USB type C is closely linked to several powerful new technologies, including Thunderbolt and USB Power Delivery, that can change how we think about our gear and working in the office, on the road, or at home.

See more These would be great except they only have one hot and one neutral connection so you cannot put these someplace where you have additional outlets run on the same line (series of outlets) which is almost always the case in American homes. This can only be installed at the end of such a series which then only provides GFSI protection for that outlet not the rest of those on the same circuit. I was astonished when I found out they only had connectors for single incoming lines and no safe way to have other circuits run off them.

It then appears to be that the wire screws on the side were making contact with my metal outlet box. So when I installed the other one I had to run electric tape around the whole outlet to insulate the points of contact with the box.

That’s a complete waste if money. I have no electrical knowledge and these were SUPER EASY to install. Here are the easy steps: 1) Turn off the main breaker 2) Unscrew the old circuit 3) Screw the black hot wire(s) to the area labeled “black” 4) Screw the white wire(s) to the area labeled “white” and 5) Screw the bare metal wire to the ground (green) area.

The issue I have is this: If you want to be able to use the actual AC outlets - you have to use a standard plug. It can’t be one of the power cables that have a big AC/dc converter on the end. If you need to plug one of those in, then you won’t be able to use the charging ports.

For example, I had an Amazon Echo Show I wanted to keep in this area. I can plug it in and it will work just fine, but then I can’t use the charging ports. 6 people found this helpful Helpful Report D.

But it has an annoying issue... it has a pretty loud coil whine going on whenever something is plugged in and charging. It''s a high-pitch squeal that can get on your nerves pretty quickly. It happens with both of the 2 outlets that I got, so it seems more like a design issue rather than a manufacturing defect.

See more The ELEGRP 30W 6.0 Amp 3-Port USB Wall Outlet, 20 Amp Receptacle with USB Type C Type A Ports, USB Charger for iPhone, iPad, Samsung, LG, HTC and Android Devices is as advertised and perfect for my needs. The outlet has built in safety shutters that block foreign objects from being inserted into the receptacle, as many new outlets have. This may make it harder to insert a plug the first few times. Make sure both plug prongs contact the shutters simultaneously. Do this a few times and the shutters loosen up. The USB outlets provide high speed charging. I tested this by plugging my Samsung phone directly into the USB outlet and timed it until fully charged. Then when my phone battery was down to the same level as the previous test, I plugged my Samsung Fast Charger into the regular electrical outlet and the time until fully charged was the same. There is probably a more scientific method of testing, but this was close enough for me. All-in-all I am very pleased with the outlets. 3 people found this helpful Helpful Report EarlA1.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Dangerous design with screws on side Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022Size: 15 Amps OutletColor: White We installed a pair of these in a duplex electrical box.

Sparks and circuit breaker blown!

The wiring connection uses one screw on either side. Since there is only one screw per side, series wiring adds a bit of thickness to the connection. This causes the screws to project out further. The screw on the right side of one comes into contact with the screw on the left side of the other. I could slap a bit of electric tape on each screw but doing so is neither code nor safe. These will be returned and replaced with receptacles which use wire insertion in the rear of the outlet. That too may be a challenge since these receptacles are quite bulky.

On checking, I see that another reviewer complained of similar problem with clearance on metal box. (Plastic boxes are almost impossible to find these days.) Helpful Report

The writing on the front of the plug is crisp and the faceplate is nice and opaque. It does not look cheap like other brands. The finish is a beautiful matte bright white. They are cUL listed and thus approved for use in Canada. There is a stamp on the back I installed these on my backsplash in the kitchen and had to add a box extender. The device is fills out an entire 2.5" single gang box. One thing to note is that if you are using metal boxes and 12 gauge wire (as you should in Ontario when using 20 Amp plugs) you should cover the sides of the plug with electrical tape as otherwise the terminal screws may touch the box and cause arcing. In my case my boxes are on an exterior wall and are plastic. Also the box extender I am using fits this device very snugly and is plastic and could serve the purpose of insulating it against the metal box in other use cases. The box extender I am using is an Arlington BE1. The charging function is solid as well. It does deliver the full 30W when using multiple devices. The left USB-A Port charges my iPad Pro nice and quick. The middle USB-A and the USB-C port share 3.3A. If just using the USB-C port I am able to draw the 3.3A from that port. Note that it only supports 5V, so you will not be charging devices asking for more volts with any more than the 5V this plug promises. That is fine for some devices, which will simply charge slower (such as the Nintendo Switch) but it will not work with laptops. It does not support USB-C PD or QuickCharge as far as I can tell, so it''s just regular USB charging. All in all, it does exactly what it says on the box and I am very pleased with this purchase!
