"With the proliferation of business people traveling to countries all over
the world, the importance of being able to charge and power their electronic
devices is growing," said Joe Loberti, general manager of APC's Consumer
Network Solutions group. "The APC Universal Plug Adapter provides the
convenience of a small, lightweight unit that can easily fit flat in the
pocket of a laptop case or piece of luggage. With APC's solution, an
international traveler will not have to worry about carrying numerous bulky
plugs or whether their plug will fit into a country's unique receptacle."
APC's innovative Universal Plug Adapter provides receptacle compatibility
worldwide and accepts every major plug type (except the 16 Amp BS546 plug used
in India). Weighing only 2.5 ounces, the flat adapter separates and
reconfigures to plug into a receptacle. It also includes a ground defeat that
allows the user to plug into a receptacle that incorporates safety shutters in
its design.
The new APC Universal Plug Adapter is currently available in North America
and carries an estimated resale price of $19.99. The adapter will be
available in Europe by the end of this year. For more information about APC,
