U-Socket is 15 Amp, 125 Volt  NEMA connector which is compliant 5-15R, provides a BTO Tamper Resistant Option.  It features as well auto-sensing wattage technology that eventually cuts on the general power draw.

Besides, using the U-socket one can charge simultaneously 4 different devices and there is no need for extra adapters. This feature makes the socket more advanced than other options available at the market.

In addition, it's also essential to mention that U-Socket is universal, taking into consideration its ability to be used for impressive number of devices, such as iOS devices ( iPod, iPad, iPhone), digital cameras,  Blackberry, PSP, Nintendo, GPS navigators, Bluetooth Headsets, and etc. In other words, if the device is supported by USB interface it can be powered with U-Socket.
