USB-C Outlet Installation · Mister Safety
USB-C Outlets: Charging That Fits Your Devices
A USB-C outlet can free ordinary sockets from charging adapters. Charging performance depends on the outlet, cable, connected device and whether another port is in use. Start with what you want to charge, then confirm the installation fits.
Free estimates for defined installation work. Unknown-fault diagnostics are paid, with charges explained before approval.
01 / USB-C Outlets
One port’s rating is not always two ports’ output.
Compare the power available to one connected device with what happens when both USB-C ports are occupied. These exact Leviton examples illustrate why the model matters.
Up to 60W
One compatible PD device
The device and cable must support the offered power. Actual charging can be lower.
Manufacturer output examples, not a charge-time estimate. Power Delivery negotiation and device/cable compatibility still apply.

02 / USB-C Outlets
Choose for the devices you actually use.
Power Delivery lets compatible charging equipment negotiate a supported power level. A laptop in use can have different needs from one charging while asleep. A charger’s highest rating is not a guaranteed rate for every device.
Two devices together
Consider the combined allowance and the per-port behavior with both connected. Do not assume each gets the full total.
Laptop at a desk
Check the computer’s charging needs. Its original plug-in adapter may remain a better fit for higher-power or changing requirements.

03 / USB-C Outlets
Exact models, different jobs.
USB-C describes a connector; it does not establish Power Delivery or laptop charging capability. Retain required shock protection when considering any replacement.
| Example | Charging distinction | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| Leviton CC1P3-W | Up to 30W combined; up to 30W to one compatible PD device | Do not promise 30W at each port together |
| Leviton CC1P6-W | Up to 60W on one PD connection; up to 30W each with both in use | Select the cable and connected device for the intended use |
| Leviton GUAC1-W | 24W combined headline: 12W USB-A plus 12W USB-C | A GFCI/USB combination; not an equivalent 30W or 60W PD charger |
Already have a T5635-W or T5636-W?
Leviton lists these older models as discontinued and names CC1P3-W and CC1P6-W successors. Discontinued does not mean recalled. Confirm the exact device and shipped revision rather than transferring legacy specifications, photographs or warranty terms.

04 / USB-C Outlets
Built in still needs room behind the wall.
Charging electronics take space. The electrician checks the box and conductor fill, circuit and protection, and whether the existing outlet has a switched or separate-feed arrangement. The reviewed CC1P3 and CC1P6 instructions prohibit separate-feed applications.
A location plan can include one charging position or several. Agree on devices, electrical corrections, access and finish repair in the proposal. Equipment cost is separate from the installed price. Manufacturer product terms and Mister Safety workmanship coverage are also separate.
Technical fit and product-document note
The CC1P3 manual specifies minimum box dimensions of 3 × 2 × 2.5 inches plus box-fill review. The linked CC1P6 manual specifies at least 20 cubic inches plus fill requirements. Neither is a fit guarantee for an existing box.
CC1P6 product-page and linked-manual warranty/connection descriptions disagree. Confirm the actual shipped revision and applicable terms before ordering; no definitive duration or terminal specification is promised here.

A clearer way to understand it
In Simple Terms
Think of the charger’s wattage as an available allowance, not a charging-speed promise. The device must support the offered power and the cable must be suitable. Sharing can change how much each device receives.
Built-in USB charging is a convenience choice. It does not make an outlet circuit more powerful, create a data connection or remove the need for required protection. Tell us the devices and locations; let the electrician assess what is behind the wall.

Your questions, answered.
Will it charge every USB-C laptop?
No. Check the laptop’s supported charging input and cable. Some computers or workloads need more power than the wall charger can provide.
Will both ports always deliver the maximum total rating?
No. Use the exact model’s simultaneous-use rating. The CC1P6 example provides up to 30W per port with both in use, within its 60W total.
Can I transfer data through these USB ports?
The reviewed CC1P3 instructions identify charging-only ports, not data connections.
Should I remove the cover to see whether it fits?
No. An exterior photograph cannot determine box fill, grounding or feed arrangement. Use an already-available model link and let the electrician review concealed conditions.

What do you want to charge, and how many people will use the location?
A defined project, a clear estimate.
Free estimates price known installation or upgrade work. Tracing an unexplained fault is paid diagnostic work, with the scope and charge explained before approval.
