Expo Notes: FastMac ships USB-equipped power socket

Posted on by Roman Loyola, Macworld.com


U-Socket ACE-7169

At the 2010 Macworld Expo, FastMac’s U-Socket earned a Best of Show award. A year later, the U-Socket is finally ready to ship to the public and was on display at the 2011 Macworld Expo show floor.

The U-Socket is a power outlet that’s outfitted with a pair of USB ports. After it was announced last year, FastMac had to reconfigure the U-Socket so it could be able to recharge an iPad. Then USB 3.0 started to become fashionable (at least for PCs), and FastMac wanted to make sure their USB ports were 3.0 compliant.

FastMac is offering two models of the U-Socket. Model ACE-7169 ($26) is a standard wall socket available in white. The model ACE-7702 ($24) is a Decora-style socket.
