USB Outlets

USB A Port: USB A is the standard rectangular shape USB outlet that everyone is familiar with, found in older computers, keyboards, and phone charging blocks.

USB B Port: USB B is a wider charging port, commonly found in computers and mobile phones.

USB Micro Port: This is the standard rectangular shape micro port often found in digital cameras and cell phones.

USB Mini Port: Is an even smaller version of the USB-B port. It is typically used for digital cameras and other devices that require a smaller port.

USB C Port: USB type C plugs are the new standard shape for electronic charging ports. This USB is rounded on the edges and is about the size of a micro USB connector. Type C will deliver the maximum power available to reduce the time the device needs to charge.

Enerlites USB wall outlets are known for their high-speed charging ability without the need for AC adapters. All of their wall USB chargers use smart chips that detect a device's power consumption in order to maximize charging efficiency. A USB outlet that is capable of fast charging delivers more amperage than the standard USB output of 0.5A.

The amount of amperage that your outlet can put out will determine how quickly your devices will be able to charge. The higher the amp, the bigger the device can be. Each USB port will draw a specific number of amps based on its max amp number. So, if an outlet has two ports and is listed as 4.0A, then each port will draw 2A, unless specified otherwise. Sometimes the manufacturer will specify individual amperages per port.

There are six different AMP options to choose from:

• 1.0A/2.0A: Both 1.0A and 2.0A are standard USB ports that are ideal for charging smart phones.
• 3.0A/3.1A: Both 3.0A and 3.1A can charge medium electronics, such as tablets and Bluetooth headsets.
• 4.0A: These USB outlets can charge large devices, like laptops.
• 4.8A: These USB ports have a maximum power charge of 4.8 amperages and are also ideal for large devices.
