After rewiring this kitchen a few months ago, I'm back this week installing and reviewing some brand new 30W type-C USB sockets from MK.

As we move forward every few months with new tech and our demand to have the latest and greatest devices increases, we inevitably leave a trail of old e-waste behind us. Electronic waste is a bigger problem than you might think. Not only is it difficult to recycle, but it is often sent overseas and dumped into large landfills illegally. You might have noticed that your new phone (unless specifically asked for) does not come with the usual 3 pin (UK) plug-in transformer!? This is something tech companies have been doing for a couple of years in an effort to cut down on e-waste at source. Lets face it, we all have an abundance of old chargers hiding out somewhere just encase we need one, never mind the fact half of them probably don't even work or are too old for your new devices demand.

The new LOGIC PLUS range of USB sockets from MK are here to help as we transition from older plug-in chargers.
As well as having the common USB type-A port, they also come with USB type-C.
ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL.
What is USB type-C?
The USB type-C has been around since 2014 and is a connector that is rotational symmetrical (no more putting it in the wrong way). In general, there are 24 pins in the connector and they can send/receive digital audio, video, data and power. Android smartphones have had this type of connection for a few years now and in 2022, the EU mandated Apple to have their iphones have the type-C connector from 2024. iPhone users should be happy with this decision as the USB type-C allows for faster data transfer speeds and faster charging times. Greg Joswiak Apple's head of marketing acknowledged that the company has no choice but to move over to USB type-C. So either the iPhone 15 due out in September 2023 or it's follow up due out September 2024 will have the type-C.
In essence, the USB type-C is trying to become the go-to unified USB connector for all devices such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, ipads, Macbooks, iphones and all their peripherals.
