USB outlets

Wall-mounted charging ports

USB outlets are electrical outlets that include USB ports alongside or instead of standard power receptacles, allowing devices to charge directly without a separate adapter.

Common in newer construction and as replacement outlets in homes and offices: We installed USB outlets in the kitchen so we can charge phones while cooking.

Airport and hotel USB outlets are convenient but carry minor security risks from compromised ports.
