Thank you for posting about U-Socket. Gl...Hi Bruce!<br />Thank you for posting about U-Socket. Glad you liked it :-) I wanted to clarify a few points in your post with regard to the size of the gang box and the power output.<br /><br />a) U-Socket requires a 16-cubic inch (or larger) electrical (gang) box which is the size found in most homes constructed in the US after the 1950s. It *is* a tight fit, albeit no tighter than a standard dimmer switch.<br /><br />b) U-Socket is available in USB 3.0 & 2.0 versions & it's current rating is 2.4A (not 2.1A). The USB 3.0 version does cost more but since the ports only output power, it should make no difference in day to day use.<br /><br />Abbi<br /><br />PS: In case you're wondering, you were not charged extra for the USB 3.0 version that you received O:-)Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052727112876084562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733349251658899899.post-79377960829702902522011-11-06T14:10:25.114-08:002011-11-06T14:10:25.114-08:00@Miss Notes - The cord is actually a new USB2 cord...@Miss Notes - The cord is actually a new USB2 cord for my iPad 2. Since the MacBook, MacBook Air and other portables don't charge via USB you will have to use the standard Apple charger and the power outlet not the USB port.Bruce Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819531166242834665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733349251658899899.post-78541595955863478502011-11-06T07:18:32.728-08:002011-11-06T07:18:32.728-08:00Though, I've noticed this is the old Mac cord....Though, I've noticed this is the old Mac cord.
