Why Dual USB-C Matters More Than Legacy Ports
A 36W GaN dual USB-C receptacle solves a different problem than a hybrid USB-A/C outlet because it is built for properties that want to move completely toward modern charging standards instead of keeping a legacy port in the wall. This 15A NEMA 5-15R receptacle combines a standard AC outlet format with two USB-C ports, and either USB-C port can deliver up to 36W Power Delivery when used alone, with 36W maximum total USB output across both ports. UL / cUL positioning, tamper-resistant shutters, and a non-GFCI indoor dry-location design make this SKU a strong fit for upscale bedrooms, hotel nightstands, desks, and similar spaces where buyers want faster charging without scattered adapters. This page deserves its own SKU treatment because pure dual Type-C deployment, laptop-adjacent charging expectations, and shared-output behavior create a different buying decision than lower-output or hybrid-port models.
Who Should Use This Model
- Hospitality buyers upgrading guest rooms or suites for adapter-free charging with modern USB-C devices
- Residential and multi-family project teams standardizing around pure Type-C instead of mixed A/C port formats
- Contractors sourcing a 15A USB receptacle for dry indoor installations where tablets and lightweight laptops are commonly charged
- Distributors serving premium office, apartment, dormitory, and boutique hotel projects that want stronger PD output than entry-level USB outlets
When to Choose a Different Model
- Choose a hybrid USB-A/C receptacle when the property still needs support for older USB-A charging cables and legacy devices
- Choose a USB GFCI model when the installation is near sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, or other locations requiring ground-fault protection
- Choose a 65W or higher USB-C model when the project expects routine charging for larger laptops rather than phones, tablets, and lightweight notebooks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will this dual USB-C 36W receptacle charge a laptop?
Yes, for some lightweight laptop models. Either USB-C port can provide up to 36W Power Delivery when used alone, which is suitable for many tablets and lighter notebooks, but it is not intended for larger laptops that normally require 65W or more.
What happens when both USB-C ports are used at the same time?
The total available USB output is shared within a 36W maximum combined limit. When both Type-C ports are active, the receptacle dynamically distributes power across the two devices instead of supplying full 36W output to each port simultaneously.
Why choose a pure dual USB-C receptacle instead of a hybrid USB-A/C model?
A pure dual USB-C receptacle is better for projects that want to standardize around current charging habits rather than preserve a legacy port. This format makes more sense in newer apartments, premium guest rooms, and modern workspaces where most users already rely on Type-C cables.
Does this 36W dual USB-C outlet require a 20A circuit?
No. This model is a 15A standard receptacle with NEMA 5-15R configuration. It is intended for properly matched 15A applications, not for 20A NEMA 5-20R circuit use.
Can this receptacle be installed near a kitchen sink or in a bathroom?
No. This is a standard non-GFCI receptacle for indoor dry locations. Installations near sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, or other NEC-covered locations that require ground-fault protection should use a GFCI or USB GFCI model instead.
Do tamper-resistant shutters matter for apartment bedrooms and hotel guest rooms?
Yes. Tamper-resistant construction is an important code and safety feature for many covered dwelling and hospitality installation types under NEC 406.12. This model includes TR shutters as part of its core specification.
Does a high-output 36W dual USB-C receptacle need a deeper wall box?
Yes. A receptacle that combines standard AC hardware with dual Type-C charging electronics and higher PD output usually needs more room than a basic outlet. Installers should evaluate box depth, conductor space, and NEC 314.16 box fill planning before installation.
Where is this model a better fit than a lower-output USB-C receptacle?
This model is a better fit for premium bedrooms, hotel nightstands, desks, executive home offices, dormitories, and similar dry indoor spaces where users may charge tablets or lightweight laptops, not just phones. It also makes more sense when the project wants a pure Type-C charging direction instead of mixed-port compromise.

5-Step Quick Wiring Guide
Follow standard U.S. wiring protocols. Always verify power is off before installation.
- Power Off & Verify: Turn off the breaker and verify the box is de-energized with a voltage tester.
- Identify Conductors: Locate the Black (Hot), White (Neutral), and Bare/Green (Ground) wires.
- Connect Ground: Secure the bare copper or green wire to the Green grounding terminal.
- Connect Neutral & Hot: Connect the White wire to the Silver terminal, and the Black wire to the Brass terminal.
- Mount & Test: Fold wires neatly into the box, mount the receptacle, install the wall plate, and restore power to test.
