Not All USB Chargers Are Created Equal

As the number of devices used daily increases, so does the need for a charger that delivers safe speeds and maximum charging potential. A high-quality USB charger delivers efficient charging without risk of damage, but the sea of USB chargers and outlets available on online retailers can be cheaply made without the end-user experience in mind.

So, how can you tell if a USB charger is high-quality?

5 Things to Look for in a USB Charging Outlet

  1. UL Certification: UL certifications demonstrate that products undergo strict testing and follow the highest electrical standards for safe use.
  2. Battery Power Indicator Light: An indicator light on the outlet lets users quickly see charging status, making it easy to unplug the device once the battery is fully charged.
  3. Multilayered Overcurrent Protection: Multiple layers of overcurrent protection ensure the outlet and your devices charge at optimal levels without risk of damage.
  4. Power Delivery: Power Delivery is a technology standard and protocol that supports faster, safer charging with the latest Power Delivery-enabled devices. It supports USB Type-C devices to negotiate and deliver or receive the exact amount of power needed to safely maximize charging speed.
  5. Intelligent Charging: Intelligent charging in outlets detects and delivers the precise amount of power needed to maximize charging speeds.

Importance of Quality

Beyond the technological factors that impact device charging speed and efficiency, there are numerous other factors that impact a USB outlet’s quality.

  • Tamper resistance that prevents improper insertion of foreign objects for child safety.
  • GFCI-protection for use in kitchens, bathrooms, garages and more that self-tests and follows National Electrical Code requirements.
  • Quality guarantee and product warranty from a trusted brand with decades of experience in electrical safety.

Legrand offers a wide range of USB Outlets built with industry-leading amperage and superior safety features to accommodate a variety of user needs.
