White AC/USB Wall Outlet

Dual-socket wall outlet with two integrated USB ports for powering and charging USB devices

The Newer Technology Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet is the convenient and energy-efficient in-wall solution for powering and charging USB devices. Now you can charge and/or power up to four devices at once when using the USB 3.0/2.0 ports and standard three-prong outlets, while eliminating unsightly clutter created by multiple cables and bulky power adapters.

Charge Four Devices At Once!
Unlike other similar products, the port and outlet layout of the Power2U doesn't create "plug barriers". This accessible design enables you to charge up to four device at once!

Ideal "DIY" Upgrade For Multiple Device Users
Ideal for users of multiple USB chargeable devices, the Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet is a basic "DIY" install on any 15Amp circuit with a 16 cubic inch electrical box** to blend seamlessly into the wall as a standard power outlet. A "straightforward" rated "how to" video demonstrates how the Power2U can be installed in as little as 20 minutes.

Money Saving, Energy Efficient Design
Offering a modern, centralized location for charging/powering USB devices, the Power2U offers two energy efficient features to complement its use convenience. The Smart circuitry only outputs enough charging power required by the attached device, while spring-loaded Safety Shutters turn power off to the USB ports to eliminate "vampire" energy draw when a connecting cable is removed.

OWC's A Closer Look

Take a closer look at
the NewerTech Power2U.

* To maintain factory-stated charging duration when charging two iPads or a combination of iPad and any other USB rechargeable device simultaneously, we recommend charging the iPad via the factory wall adapter.

** Electrical boxes typically range from 15 to 16 cubic inches. To determine the size of the electrical box you intend to install a Power2U into, turn off power to outlet, remove faceplate cover, and measure height, width, and depth of the box. Multiplying those measurements together will equal the cubic inches or volume of the electrical box. If you are unsure of how to do these and/or cannot follow all safety precautions, you should consult an licensed electrician.

Power2U FAQs:

Q: How do I determine if I can safely replace my current outlet with Power2U? A: There are a couple of requirements to safely replace an outlet with the Power2U. One is that you cannot replace a Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI) outlet with a Power2U because you would be eliminating the GFCI functionality from that electrical circuit.

You can, however, replace the electrical circuit breaker that controls the circuit you wish to install Power2U on with a GFCI enabled breaker.

Another requirement is that if your residence uses Tamper Resistant Electrical Outlets, you cannot replace that type of outlet with a Power2U.

The most important consideration is as follows: The Power2U is a large electrical outlet due to the integrated 5V transformer that is used for charging your devices via USB. Because of its large size, electrical outlet boxes of at least 16 cubic inches are required as per the National Electrical Code (NEC) regulations (www.necplus.org). To determine if your outlet box is large enough to accommodate the Power2U, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the power to the outlet that you wish to replace.
2. Remove the wall plate and outlet you wish to replace.
3. Insert a tape measure or ruler into the outlet box and measure the depth, width, and height.
4. Multiply the three measurements. For example, a standard deep outlet box is 3" deep x 3" tall x 2-1/8" wide. Multiply all of those together and you come up with 19.125 cubic inches. This box would qualify to fit the Power2U outlet, however that does not complete your calculations; the amount of wires, and fastening devices that are inside of the box also must be factored in. A very thorough explanation of these calculations are available at http://ecmweb.com/nec/code-basics/electric_box_fill_calculations/. Each situation in residential wiring can be unique, so it is up to the installer to determine if they are in compliance with the NEC regulations. Q: What outlets can I replace? A: Any standard electrical outlet can be replaced with the Power2U. Traditional designs, Decora or decorator style all are replaceable. Due to the unique outlet cover with integrated USB slots and safety shutters you cannot use the Power2U in a multi-outlet or mixed (switch and outlet) box. Q: Which GFCI can I replace? A: If you are installing the Power2U into a circuit that is protected by a GFCI, you can replace any standard outlet that is already protected by that GFCI circuit with the Power2U. You cannot replace the GFCI outlet that protects the circuit with the Power2U. If you wish to replace a GFCI outlet with the Power2U, you would need to change the circuit breaker powering the circuit with a GFCI circuit breaker.

Power2U Simple Compatibility Visual Reference Guide:
(Your GFCI buttons may vary from the outlet depicted below)

DO NOT replace GFCI outlets that contain reset/breaker buttons

Wired in series outlets protected "downstream" from a GFCI outlet can be replaced with a Power2U

Q: Will my Power2U be GFCI protected when I replace a GFCI downstream outlet. A: Yes.

Q. Can any other type of outlet be replaced? A: Yes, any standard dual socket outlet can be replaced with a Power2U*

Q: What's the difference between the main GFCI and others in a series? A: A GFCI outlet (the kind that has a TEST and a RESET button on it) is the device that protects the entire electrical circuit from severe or fatal electrical shocks. There is no difference between the main GFCI outlet and an outlet wired in series after the GFCI outlet, both are equally protected. However, you cannot replace the main GFCI outlet with a Power2U outlet and still have the same shock protection, the Power2U is not a GFCI outlet. Q: What if my GFCI is located in a circuit breaker panel? A: No problem! You can replace any outlet protected by a GFCI circuit breaker with a Power2U as long as the outlet box is large enough per NEC regulations (www.necplus.org) to accommodate the Power2U. Q: What if my installation location doesn't have a 16 cubic inch outlet box? A: You will need to replace the existing outlet box with a larger box that meets NEC regulations to accommodate the Power2U. Your local home center will have replacement outlet boxes (called "boxes with ears" or "old work" boxes), and a set of hold-it straps (commercially available as "Madison Straps") to accomplish this task. If you are not familiar with this process, a licensed and bonded electrician can do it for you. This process can get quite involved and may require minor drywall patching when complete, depending on your existing outlet box installation. Q: My house uses AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interruptor) protected outlets. Can I replace one of them with a Power2U? A: Yes, just like GFCI outlets that are protected by a GFCI circuit breaker, AFCI outlets are protected by a circuit breaker. If you are installing the Power2U into a circuit that is protected by a AFCI, you can replace any standard outlet that is already protected by that AFCI circuit with the Power2U. Q: Is there a fuse inside of the Power2U? A: Yes, there is an internal fuse to protect the system in case of overload or short in the USB charging system. The fuse is not user-replaceable-if activated, it is recommended to replace the entire Power2U unit.

Note: The internal fuse will burn out to protect the system (wall socket and device) if the end user makes the mistake of connecting to a power source requiring more than 125V. Q: What USB cables work with Power2U? A: The Power2U has been tested, and is compatible, with cables conforming to USB standards. This includes cables that come with USB powered/charged devices, including those from Apple, Kindle (Amazon)**, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other major brand device providers, as well as aftermarket cable brands including NewerTech (purchase here), Belkin, and Griffin. Not all aftermarket cables meet USB design standards and such may not be ideal for use with this product.

**Certain late 2011/early 2012 model Kindles (like the Keyboard 3G) include a USB to micro-B charging/connecting cable that doesn't provide proper connection with the Power2U. We offer extension cables that will alleviate this incompatibility for those models. Cables included with Kindle's since mid-2012 do utilize an industry conforming housing that is compatible with Power2U.

Standard USB cable shown on left, cable supplied with newer model Kindles shown on right. Q: What happens if I plug a damaged USB cable into the Power2U? A: The USB wall socket will terminate charging if the USB cable is shorted. In this case, the internal fuse will not burn out. Then, when the short is cleared and power reset, the charging system will return back to normal. Q: A light switch controls my outlets. Can I use the Newer Technology Power2U receptacle still? A: The Newer Technology Power2U can be used with a switch. Bear in mind that the entire Power2U unit will turn on or off with the switch. If the switch is in the off position, no power will be available from the three-prong outlets or the USB ports.

Some residences have "half-switched" receptacles, where the top or bottom outlet is always ON and the opposite outlet turns on and off with a switch. The Power2U is NOT compatible with these types of installation-it cannot be "half-switched." Q: Which electrical boxes can adequately house a Power2U? A: The following is a list of several commonly used electrical boxes that are available at home centers and electrical supply resellers that will work with the Power2U:

Nail-on Romex Boxes (Plastic):

Carlon BH122A
Carlon B122A
Carlon B120A
Allied Moulded 1098
Allied Moulded 1096

Nail-on Romex Boxes (Metal):

Screw-on Romex Boxes (Metal):

Cut-in Boxes for Romex:

Carlon BH118R
Carlon B120R
Cantex EZ21SO
NOTE: Cut in boxes are not always 2" wide, even if they list "3" x 2"" - Measure before buying.

Cut-in Conduit Boxes:

Carlon BH118R
NOTE: Cut in boxes are not always 2" wide, even if they list "3" x 2"" - Measure before buying

Q: One of my USB ports isn't working. What should I do? A: You can test the port by removing the Power2U's faceplate, plugging in a USB device into the port that isn't working, and then pressing in the plunger switch next to the port. If you hear the charging alert tone from your device, the port is working, which means the faceplate was not seated properly against the Power2U outlet.

In order for the USB ports to properly activate, the faceplate must be flush against the outlet (not necessarily flush against the wall) so the Safety Shutters can fully engage the USB port on/off switches. If the faceplate is not flush against the outlet, the shutters may not depress the switches when plugging in a USB cord. A faceplate will not seat flush against the outlet if the Power2U is seated too far into the electrical box or if the outlet is not parallel with the wall. If the Power2U is seated too deep into the electrical box or the outlet is not parallel with the wall, spacer shims are needed behind the outlet screws to bring the outlet forward so the faceplate can seat flush against the outlet.

An incorrectly installed P2U will have the faceplate misaligned.
When misaligned, the faceplate's USB shutters will be unable to activate the USB port switches on the Power2U.

You can use electrical box shims to assist in aligning the faceplate so it's flush with the Power2U socket facia. This will allow the USB shutters to activate the USB port switches.

Spacer shims can be purchased here.

Reviewer: pete-8518

Rating: 2/5 huge - probably won't fit in your boxes December 26, 2022 It is about 1 5/8 deep - maybe a little a deeper even - and boxy. There was no way it would fit in the box I intended to put it in. I ended-up putting it in my fourth-choice location trying to find a place where it would fit - and even then I had to work very hard to get all the wires shoved-in. When I first bought this I was planning to buy more if I liked the first one...I'm glad I did that strategy, and will not be buying more. Unless you are putting in new boxes - very deep boxes and know you have enough room, I would stay far away from these.

Response from OWC, Support June 29, 2022 Hello louisvillesluggs. The Power2U is designed for a 16 Cubic Inch or larger single gang electrical box, it won't fit in a smaller electrical box or into a multiple gang box. We do have a partial list of compatible electrical boxes on the sales page. The Power 2U is UL-certified, but the transformer and capacitor make a low-pitched hum when under load; this is expected behavior. Thank you for the review!

Reviewer: TenseSwan-57831

Rating: 4/5 Get a shoe horn March 24, 2022 These outlets are big and barely fit in a standard single gang box. You might upgrade your box to a deeper one or put in a 2 gang box for the extra volume. The USB ports have a little built in switch and requires the cover plate to be perfectly flat, which is hard to manage when stuffing all the wires and wire nuts and this device into to single box. Another hint would be to add an additional box nearby just for this outlet which keeps the wire number down to three. It's a 20 amp outlet so you can use 12 gauge wire (bigger and stiffer), which adds to the getting everything jammed into the box. I wouldn't recommend this for a friend unless they are an electrician.

Rating: 3/5 Only works in single gang box. Too big for most old style metal boxes. My new Ipad pro does not connect with USB A. December 31, 2021 If you can find a receptacle box that fits you need to know this only works with the cover plate supplied. It will not work with 2-gang or more boxes due to the cover design. It also makes a humming noise when charging that bothers my wife. I have hearing aids so I can’t hear it. I just got a new Ipad pro which can’t connect due to the USB-C cables that came with it so I will have to use the brick until I can find a cable or converter. Charges our phone very fast.

Rating: 2/5 Loud, large, and finicky December 29, 2021 I bought 12 of these for my new home, but only ended up keeping 1 installed. When charging via the USB ports these outlets hum quite loudly, and often I have to remove the usb cable from the port and plug it back in to get it to charge a different device. I thought maybe it was just a bad outlet, but after trying 4 different units I realized why they were so inexpensive. They’re also quite bulky and fit very tightly in the outlet box.

Rating: 1/5 Newer Tech products have proven to be of poor quality, including this plug December 15, 2021 I purchased several of these receptacles, 6 in all. They look great and the concept is wonderful. But, here's the rub. Installation is awful (and I've installed dozens and dozens of receptacles while building tiny homes) because they are too deep creating a cramped, difficult-to-use space. Secondly, the USB plugs all HUMMMM when charging!! How annoying is that? IF you have a USB cord plugged in, then only the slimmest of power cords will fit into the receptacle adjacent to it.. otherwise, you're limited to USB or Power Receptacle use. Overall, I wouldn't buy these again, or recommend them.. and we purchased them for under $8 each, so that's saying a lot.

Rating: 3/5 Great concept. Some issues. February 19, 2017 First, it's a good thing we were remodeling and adding 24ci junction boxes to house these outlets. As others have mentioned, these use a lot of space. the instruction recommend a 14ci box, but I cant imagine that being an easy fit.

The convenience is great. However, after nearly a year of light use, I've noticed 2 of the 15A units are making a resonating noise while a device is charging. We can hear it from across the room. Also, it is not mentioned in compatibility, but I was hoping that because it has a 2.5A output, it would be able to power my Nest cam via the USB. With only a Nest Camera plugged in, it seems that there are issues and the camera shuts off after some time.

Rating: 3/5 Works well, but... January 29, 2017 These outlets work well, however there area a few caveats. When I bought these in 2012, they were a unique item. The upsides? They are not energy "vampires"- that is to say the 5V output shuts off if nothing is plugged into the USB port, and they are not strange looking. Downsides? They require a uniquely shaped faceplate (supplied), that can never be swapped out for matching ones in your house, but most importantly, they are huge. Good luck attaching them with either 12 gauge wire or in a box with multiple wires (or worse, both). Now, there are alernatives from the big makers that address these issues- they take standard plates and a smaller (not as small as regular outlets, but can easily fit a standard box).

Rating: 5/5 work great! December 29, 2016 These outlets work perfectly and save us room in our kitchen! Removing the USB charging warts from our kitchen has allowed us to plug other things in and create a cleaner space in our kitchen! Only drawback is the back of the outlets is much larger than the traditional, so make sure you have space in your junction box.

Rating: 5/5 Better than Home Depot's $35 alternative. December 18, 2016 I especially like the safety doors that protect the USB charging ports. Also, they are 20 A. outlets, which I couldn't find at the big box stores. At $10 each you can't beat 'em.

Rating: 5/5 Such Decadence! November 7, 2016 While it's been a while since I purchased this item, I just noticed I hadn't reviewed it and felt I needed to.

I purchased several of these wall outlets and installed them in locations where we often used chargers. All I can say is that they have made a big difference in clearing up the clutter of multiple chargers in an outlet, and made it easy and simple to have a common location for device charging.

One was installed behind a bedside table, allowing us to move the table closer to the wall where it belongs. Since there are no longer several chargers plugged into the former outlet, we're not forced to move the table out from the wall a good 4" or more to accommodate the chargers and cables.

From Android devices to iPhones and iPads, these outlets have never failed to charge a device, and do it in a fairly short period of time.

If there was a con, I would say that you want to be sure to have a large junction box, as these receptacles are quite large and make fitting wires and connections into older junction boxes a very tight fit.

Otherwise, they're a great space saver and amazingly convenient!

Rating: 5/5 Work great, convenient, tight in a small electrical box July 31, 2016 These are convenient in a kitchen for sure. The outlet is physically large, so it was a tight fit in the box. The little doors you have to slide to expose the USB port are a little bit of a pain, but I usually leave a couple cables plugged in for all to care their phones. Overall, I like these.
