Crabtree Extends its USB Charger Product Range

18-10-2023

Crabtree has extended its range of socket outlets that incorporate USB charging to include type C USB outlets. The new products are additions to the Instinct range and the Capital range of white moulded wiring accessories. With USB power output up to 20 Volts and 30 watts, charging applications are much greater and can include more higher demanding devices such as Laptops.  A recent parliament law was passed that states in 2024 all phones and small devices must be compatible with a universal charger, that charger is USB-C.  With the majority of devices only supplied with a charging cable these socket outlets provide a perfect fixed, safe and tested solution for connection of modern devices.
