FAQs
Q: What is the NS-HW36A2P USB Wall Outlet used for?
Ans: Without a wall adaptor, you can immediately charge USB-powered devices using this wall outlet. It is perfect for smartphones, tablets, cameras, and other devices because it has two Type-A USB ports and regular AC outlets.
Q: Can I charge two devices at once?
Ans: Indeed. The charger divides the 3.6A across the two USB ports in a clever way. Depending on the devices connected and their specific power needs, charging speeds can change.
Q: Is this outlet compatible with fast-charging protocols (e.g., Quick Charge, Power Delivery)?
Ans: No. Despite offering fast charging (up to 2.4A), it is not compatible with USB-C Power Delivery or Qualcomm Quick Charge. For regular charging, it functions well with the majority of USB devices.
Q: Does it replace a standard electrical outlet?
Ans: Indeed. The NS-HW36A2P, which has two USB ports and two AC sockets in one unit, is made to replace a single-gang wall outlet.
Q: Do I need a professional to install it?
Ans: Hiring a qualified electrician is the ideal option if you’re not experienced with electrical work because installation entails hardwiring into your home’s electrical system. Otherwise, adhere to all of the user manual’s safety precautions.
Q: Is the USB charging active even when the AC outlets aren’t used?
Ans: Indeed. As long as the outlet is linked to a live circuit, the USB ports will continue to function and be powered separately from the AC outlets.
Q: Does it have surge protection?
Ans: There is no integrated surge protection in this model.
