Damnit. Wot 'e saidUSB C
Apple are late to the party in terms of mobile devices, which let's face it, is what you're gonna be charging from a built in outlet. To charge my MacBook Pro the socket would need to give me 3A at 20.3VDC rather than a measly 2.1A at 5VDC. You'd need a 47mm backbox with a spacer to fit that in a backbox!Ah yes. New Apple products requiring all new leads.
Carp?? I keep Carp, Koi Carp.
Quite so - and, as I often say, it would not surprise me if in another couple of decades or so (maybe sooner!) we will have moved on to something other than 'USB anything", so future generations may be asking 'what are the funny holes in our electricity sockets?'! That's at least one reason why I have stayed clear of the things!Everybody is moving to Type-A sockets and the market is moving towards USB-C for everything - I'm gonna hold off on doing too many sockets for the time being!
The USB spec specifies 5.25v as the maximum voltage (and 4.4v minimum) so it would seem your Samsung tablet charger is out of spec, either by design or by fault.My slightly old Samsung tablet charger outputs 5.3 volts and my newer iPad charger outputs 5.2 volts. You may find that a USB socket takes longer to charge your tablet.

Hager quote theres as 170mW I think. Hardly a deal breaker if I'm honest. As we've discussed before, probably much less than a shaver socket, and probably similar to some neons in switchesThe SM-PSU in the sockets are running constanly (unless a manufacturer has made a design change that incorporates a switch into the USB socket) so there will always be some electric consumption...
Extra depth of back box is needed because of the space used for the SM-PSU.
That seems a bit fishy.The site does not censor the word 'crap'.
Shouldn't that be Max 5A at 20V?
You seem to be taking the rather garish slogan too literally. I guess you know that the source and sink negotiate a mutually possible voltage and current, up to 100W. Standard available fixed voltages are 5V, 9, 15V and 20V. A max current of 5A could be available at each of those voltages, subject to the cable also responding correctly.Shouldn't that be Max 5A at 20V?
