Shop USB Power Points by Type

Finding the right power point with USB comes down to matching the outlet to the devices you charge every day. We stock several practical faceplate configurations to suit different rooms and wiring layouts.

USB-A Power Points

A USB wall socket with traditional rectangular Type-A ports is ideal for charging older smartphones and everyday tech.

USB-C Power Points

More and more smartphones and devices have adopted smaller cables over the years to support fast-charging and cross-device compatibility, which is why it’s smart to invest in a USB outlet with dedicated USB-C ports.

USB-A & USB-C Power Point

If your home or office uses a combination of old and new devices, a hybrid USB-A and USB-C power point is a versatile option that minimises messy cable clutter.

Double Power Point with USB

Combining two standard 240V AC 10A sockets with integrated USB charging modules, a double power point with USB is the standard replacement for traditional double GPOs. They fit neatly into existing wall boxes, making them a seamless upgrade for internal power points in living areas, kitchens, and master bedrooms.

H3: Pop-Up Powerpoints with USB

For high-use spots like kitchen island benches and office desks, multi-outlet pop-up units create powerful multi-device USB charging stations. Browse our specialised benchtop power points for sleek pop-up options.

H2: How to Choose the Right USB Power Point

Selecting the ideal GPO with USB depends on evaluating your power demands and physical wall space. When comparing products on our site, keep these key technical factors in mind:

• Port Type & Count: Determine whether you need USB-A, USB-C, or a dual combination, and how many dedicated ports you require per location.
• Mains Socket Layout: Decide if a standard double GPO meets your needs or if your layout requires extra 240V AC outlets.
• Charging Output & Wattage: Check the total shared amperage and wattage rating. Higher-wattage ports charge larger devices like tablets and laptops significantly faster.
• Power Delivery (PD) Support: For ultra-fast charging, look for USB-C modules that support Power Delivery protocols.

USB Power Point Installation & Safety

While USB ports supply safe low-voltage DC power, the wall unit itself is hardwired directly into your property's 230V-240V AC mains electrical grid. In Australia, all fixed electrical work must be performed by an appropriately licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.

Check that your chosen USB power point carries the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) to confirm it meets strict Australian electrical safety standards.
 

USB Power Point FAQs

What is a USB power point?

A USB power point is a hardwired wall socket with built-in USB charging ports in addition to standard AC plug sockets. The unit converts mains power into low-voltage DC inside the unit, so you can charge devices with a USB cable without a need for a wall plug.

Should I buy a USB-A or USB-C power point?

If you’re retrofitting an existing space with older cables, a USB-A model is the best choice, but if you’re only going to use it to power or charge newer devices, then a USB outlet with USB-C works well.

Can I get a power point with both USB-A and USB-C ports?

Yes. A dual USB-A and USB-C power point combines both port styles on a single wall plate, making it the most versatile option for households with a mix of older and newer devices. No need to buy new cables or wall plugs!

What should I look for when buying a USB power point?

Key factors include the port type (USB-A vs USB-C), total charging output (amperage/wattage), fast-charging support, and compliance with Australian standards (RCM mark).

How many devices can I charge from a USB power point?

You can charge as many USB devices as there are dedicated USB ports on the faceplate — typically two per outlet — while still using the standard 240V AC sockets for other appliances. Note that shared total amperage is split across connected USB devices.

Do USB-C power points support fast charging?

Yes, many modern USB-C power points have integrated Power Delivery (PD) technology. When paired with a compatible cable and device, the outlets deliver higher wattages to charge devices a lot faster than standard USB-A ports.

Do USB power points need to be installed by an electrician?

Yes. Australian law requires a licensed electrician to carry out all installation, replacement, and relocation work. This is because USB power points connect directly to fixed 230V-240V mains wiring, which causes safety risks without the right gear and expertise.

What are the recommended popular USB wall plates available online?

It depends on what devices you’re planning on plugging into the outlet. For example, if you only want to charge a couple of older devices, go for a simple USB power point with 2 power sockets and 2 USB-A ports.
