February 2, 2012, Woodstock, IL — Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech®) http://www.newertech.com,
a leading developer of Macintosh®, PC, iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad® performance
upgrades and accessories, announced today it has lowered the Manufacturer’s Suggested

MSRP with street pricing as low as $22.99, the Power2U is the only home-safe,
UL Listed in-wall charging solution available to enhance living and working spaces
by eliminating the clutter created by multiple cables and unsightly bulky power
adapters.
Complements Any Decor
Ideal for homes with users of multiple USB chargeable devices, the Power2U blends
seamlessly into any residential wall as a standard power outlet. By incorporating
two traditional three-prong AC wall sockets in addition to two USB 3.0/2.0/1.1
ports, the Power2U is a basic ‘DIY’ install on any 15Amp circuit with a 16-cubic-inch
electrical box. A “straightforward” rated “how to” video showing how the Power2U
can be installed in as little as 20 minutes is available at: http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/nwt_power2u/
Money Saving, Energy Efficient
The new outlet provides a clean looking, modern, and centralized location for
charging/powering USB devices. In addition to being convenient to use, the Power2U
provides two energy efficiency features. The intelligent Smart Power design only
outputs enough charging power to meet the requirements of the device that is
attached. The specially designed spring-loaded Safety Shutters completely turn
off power to the USB ports when a connecting cable is removed.
Patented Design & UL Certification Ensures Safe Home Use

design and is the only UL Listed in-wall solution of its kind, homeowners can
install it with full confidence and no safety compromise.
