Legrand SA has expanded its Arteor wiring device range with the launch of new two-module USB Type-C charging sockets, designed for high-performance charging of laptops, tablets, smartphones and other portable electronic devices.
The new Arteor USB Type-C socket range represents the next generation of built-in charging technology. The introduction of the Arteor 45 W USB Type-C socket – with advanced technology and enhanced aesthetics – strengthens Legrand’s local offering, in line with the global shift towards USB-C as the standard charging interface for digital devices.
These 45 W USB Type-C modules provide high-power delivery and fast-charging solutions for residential, commercial, and hospitality installations, where users expect convenient access to fast charging without the need for bulky adapters.
Arteor USBs enable a faster charging level than conventional technologies, operating via an exchange between the charger and the connected device, to ensure the correct voltage and current for each application.
Each charger includes a single USB Type-C outlet with output stages from 5 V up to 20 V, automatically adjusted according to device requirements. The unit supports the latest Power Delivery and Quick Charge protocols used by Apple, Google and other leading manufacturers, ensuring compatibility of iOS and Android devices. Terminals accept conductors up to 2.5 mm² and use secure screw-type connections for reliable electrical contact.
The modules fit into standard Arteor support frames and plates and are available in finishes including white, magnesium, champagne and soft aluminium. Seamless integration of the USB Type-C charger directly into the existing Arteor modular system allows installation within the same Arteor design lines and finishes as switches, sockets and dimmers in the range.
The robust construction and consistent modular dimensions of Arteor components provide flexibility for a wide range of applications – from modern residential developments and co-working spaces to hotels, airports and healthcare facilities – where a combination of performance, design and safety compliance is required.
Legrand continues to meet local market requirements by providing innovative and reliable solutions throughout Southern Africa. All Legrand products are designed and tested to stringent international standards, providing installers and specifiers with the assurance of high performance, safety, flexibility and enhanced aesthetics.
