Entry-level ELEGRP USB outlet for bedroom nightstands, home offices, and living room walls where USB-A device charging is the primary use case.

Screwless wall plate included. Ideal for phone chargers, tablets, and small electronics, not suitable for USB-C laptop or fast-charge devices; upgrade to ERU series for PD.
What is the difference between a USB Type A outlet and a USB Type C outlet?
USB Type A is the older rectangular connector used by legacy charging cables and accessories, while USB Type C is the newer reversible connector used by most modern phones, tablets, and laptops. This outlet includes dual Type A ports, which makes it convenient for households that still charge with older USB-A cables but limits charging speed compared with newer USB-C Power Delivery outlets.
How many devices can charge simultaneously from dual USB-A ports at 21W?
You can charge two USB devices at the same time from the two Type A ports, plus use both AC receptacles for plugged-in devices. The 21W USB output is shared between the two USB ports, so charging speed depends on the connected devices and how they divide the available power.
Does a USB wall outlet replace the regular outlet or add ports to it?
It replaces a standard duplex wall outlet and adds built-in USB charging ports to the same device. You still retain the two 125V AC receptacle openings for normal plugs, while gaining two USB-A charging ports on the face.
Is this outlet compatible with iPhone and Android fast charging?
It will charge iPhone and Android devices through standard USB-A charging, but it does not support USB-C Power Delivery or higher-speed fast-charge protocols used by many newer phones. If fast charging is important, choose an ERU-series PD model instead.
