Problem:
Traditional Electrical Wiring Methods
Still wiring buildings for AC powered devices.
- Excessive copper and plastic use in wire construction.
- Costly wiring compared to low voltage.
- Inefficient power conversion from AC to DC.
Carbon Footprint.
- From mining metals and refining oil into plastics, the supply chain footprint can be decreased substantially.
Rigid metallic conduit.
- Is required that is heavy on labor for bending and installations.
Lacks advanced technologies.
- That are integrated into the outlet due to space restraints within the back box.

AC vs DC
Comparison
120 VAC
Outlet with USB
MAX 30 watts available USB PD
charge capability
- Requires expensive Romex or MC Rated electrical cabling
- 75% more copper and plastics used in the construction of high voltage cable.
- Inefficient power conversion from AC to DC
- Due to the AC/DC conversion requirements, these outlets lack the necessary space needed for additional components to provide higher wattage power delivery.
- Typically has a max of 15VDC 2 AMP (30 Watts)
VOLTEK
2 Port USB Outlet
Up to 60 watts available USB-PD
charging capability
- Uses 16 / 18 AWG 2 conductor cable for power. Cost savings of up to 75% vs high voltage cabling.
- Contains Advanced PD and QC 2.0 charging technologies
- Up to 98% power conversion efficiency

Why Voltek?
Distributed DC Power for Anywhere
Green
Reduces the excessive use of environmental resources needed in wire and cable manufacturing to get the job of powering electronics done.
No Data
Voltek provides power only so your devices are unable to be hacked or have data stolen.
Employers
Keeps employees phones off business computers which prevents intellectual property theft or introduction of viruses.
Health
Benefit of not having extra weight in a bag or backpack consisting of the AC/DC power transformer needed to power from an AC receptacle.
