No-Compromise Dual-Device Fast Charging
Most in-wall fast-charge outlets sound impressive until a second device is plugged in. This model 36W GaN USB receptacle is different because the page is built around 36W maximum total USB output, not a lower-output fast-charge claim that collapses under simultaneous use. The AC side remains a standard 15A NEMA 5-15R receptacle, but the USB section combines USB-C PD up to 36W with USB-A QC up to 18W, giving the product a much stronger value story for high-end hotel rooms, executive workspaces, and premium residential bedrooms where two connected devices should not turn a “fast charger” into a slow one.
Who Should Use This Model
- Hospitality buyers upgrading luxury hotel nightstands and premium guest suites
- Property managers and developers specifying top-tier charging infrastructure for upscale bedrooms
- Contractors sourcing deep-box-ready indoor dry-location outlets with higher charging headroom
- B2B distributors targeting spec-grade, high-output USB receptacle demand in premium projects
When to Choose a Different Model
- Choose a 20W PD receptacle when single-device fast charging is enough and project budget matters more than simultaneous performance
- Choose a 65W+ USB-C charger solution when the project expects true laptop charging rather than premium smartphone/tablet charging
- Choose a USB GFCI receptacle when the installation is near sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, or other NEC-covered wet or damp locations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes a 36W total output receptacle different from a standard 20W PD outlet?
A standard 20W PD outlet can fast-charge one device, but when a second device is plugged in, charging performance often drops sharply because the total available power is much lower. This receptacle provides up to 36W total output, which gives the product a much stronger capacity story for two-device charging in premium rooms.
Will this 36W fast-charging wall outlet charge a laptop?
No. While 36W is a high output for charging two smartphones or tablets, most modern laptops and MacBooks require a single higher-wattage charging stream, typically 45W to 65W or more. This receptacle is optimized for high-capacity mobile-device charging rather than laptop charging.
Can this 36W simultaneous fast-charging receptacle be installed in a bathroom or kitchen?
No. This is a standard receptacle designed strictly for dry indoor locations and it does not provide GFCI protection. Receptacles serving kitchens, bathrooms, and other NEC-covered wet or damp locations should use a GFCI or USB GFCI model instead.
Does this 36W high-capacity USB outlet require a deeper electrical box?
Yes. A higher-capacity transformer and fast-charge electronics require substantially more space than a basic non-USB outlet. Installers should plan for deep wall boxes, safe wire folding, heat dissipation, and NEC 314.16 box fill requirements. Your own project brief treats deep box use as a strict requirement for this SKU. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Are the standard AC slots tamper-resistant for residential and hotel use?
Yes. The 15A NEMA 5-15R AC slots include built-in tamper-resistant shutters. NEC 406.12 requires tamper-resistant construction for covered 15A and 20A nonlocking receptacles in dwellings, hotel guest rooms, and other listed occupancy types. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
What happens when both ports are used at the same time?
This receptacle provides a maximum combined USB output of 36W. When both ports are used simultaneously, the available charging power is shared within that total limit. That higher total capacity is the reason this model is positioned above lower-output fast-charge receptacles. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Does this 36W receptacle require a 20A branch circuit?
No. This model is a 15A NEMA 5-15R receptacle and is intended for standard 15A applications, not 20A NEMA 5-20R circuits. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12} :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
Where should this model not be installed?
It should not be installed in wet or damp locations without proper GFCI protection, on 20A-only NEMA 5-20R applications, in shallow legacy boxes that cannot accommodate the device body, or in projects expecting true laptop-class charging. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

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.
