CyberPower P3WUH 3-Outlet Wall Tap with USB Charging
Overview
The CyberPower P3WUH is a compact wall-mounted power solution that combines three standard AC outlets (NEMA 5-15R) with four dedicated USB ports in a single footprint. Designed for surveillance control rooms, network closets, and office environments where desk or wall space is limited, the P3WUH delivers both traditional plug-in power and USB charging without requiring multiple adapters or power strips scattered across your installation site.
Key Features
- 3 Full-Size AC Outlets: NEMA 5-15R standard outlets handle traditional 125V equipment (NVRs, switches, PoE injectors, monitors) without adapter clutter. One tap occupies one wall outlet but frees up table or rack space by going vertical.
- 4 USB Charging Ports (3.4A Shared): Charge up to four mobile devices, tablets, or wireless receivers simultaneously. The 3.4A shared capacity means real-world charging: if you plug in two phones at once, each gets roughly 1.7A. Plan accordingly if you're charging three or four devices at peak load.
- Compact Wall-Mount Design: Dimensions 1.93 x 2.44 x 4.45 inches keep the footprint small enough for tight installation spaces behind monitors, near network racks, or under desks without blocking airflow or creating a cable management nightmare.
- Multi-Color LED Indicator: Visual status light confirms power presence at a glance—useful when troubleshooting a dead port or confirming the tap is energized from across the room.
- Safety and Compliance Certifications: RoHS Compliant, UL498a, UL1310, cUL, and FCC certifications mean this device meets North American electrical safety standards for both AC and low-voltage circuits. Your facility procurement won't flag it as non-certified hardware.
- 1-Year Limited Warranty: Manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing baseline protection for a device that typically sees moderate daily use in control rooms and network areas.
Integration & Compatibility
The P3WUH works with any standard 125V AC equipment: network video recorders, PoE switches, managed PoE injectors, desktop computers, monitors, and wireless access points. USB ports accept any standard USB charger or data cable (Type-A connectors)—phones, tablets, portable scanners, and emergency backup devices all plug directly in. The standard NEMA 5-15P plug connects to any 15A or higher circuit; no special wiring or outlet replacement is required. For surveillance installations combining networked equipment and mobile device management, this approach eliminates the need for separate USB charging stations and reduces cable runs from one outlet cluster.
What's in the Box
The P3WUH is a standalone wall tap with an integrated power cord. No additional adapters, cables, or mounting hardware are included—installation is plug-and-play into any available wall outlet or power strip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the P3WUH be used in a wet or outdoor environment?
A: No. The P3WUH is rated for indoor use only. It has no weatherproof rating and is not suitable for outdoor installation or damp environments (bathrooms, exterior walls, unprotected garage areas). Install indoors in dry conditions.
Q: Will the P3WUH work with my surveillance NVR and PoE injector simultaneously?
A: Yes. The three AC outlets can power multiple devices at the same time. Typical surveillance setups using an NVR plus a managed PoE injector draw well under the 15A circuit limit, so simultaneous operation is normal. Confirm your total load with a simple wattage check of each device's power label.
Q: What's the maximum current draw on the USB ports?
A: The USB ports share 3.4A total. If you plug in two devices, budget roughly 1.7A per device. Three or four devices will share the 3.4A pool, which may slow charging on multiple simultaneous connections. Single-device charging draws the full available current.
Q: Is the P3WUH covered by a warranty?
A: Yes. The P3WUH includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Check the documentation for exclusions and claim procedures.
Q: Can I mount the P3WUH behind a desk or monitor stand?
A: The compact dimensions (1.93 x 2.44 x 4.45 inches) allow mounting in tight spaces. Wall mounting behind monitors or shelving is common in surveillance control rooms. Ensure adequate air circulation to prevent heat buildup if you're powering high-wattage equipment continuously.
Q: Does the P3WUH have surge protection or overcurrent protection?
A: The P3WUH is a passive wall tap. It does not include surge suppression or circuit-breaker features. For critical surveillance equipment, consider pairing this with a dedicated surge-protected power strip or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) on the same circuit.
I've deployed the CyberPower P3WUH in several control room builds where desk real estate is precious and cable clutter is the enemy. The P3WUH solves a specific problem: you've got an NVR, a PoE switch, and a monitoring tablet all competing for wall outlets, and you need USB charging for mobile scanners or backup receivers without running a separate power strip. The model number P3WUH is straightforward to specify and order, and its compact 1.93 x 2.44 x 4.45 inch footprint keeps installation tidy.
Technical Highlights:
- 3 NEMA 5-15R AC Outlets: Full 125V standard capacity per outlet allows you to plug NVRs, managed PoE injectors, and networked monitoring displays directly in—no daisy-chaining power strips or worrying about adapter compatibility.
- 4 USB Ports with 3.4A Shared Current: Real-world charging for two simultaneous devices at ~1.7A each, or full 3.4A for a single high-power charger. Budget carefully if you're charging four phones at once; individual devices will charge slower under shared load.
- Certifications (UL498a, UL1310, cUL, FCC): North American electrical and radio-interference compliance means facility managers and procurement won't hold this device up for safety review. It meets code for permanent installation.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is a passive power tap with no surge suppression—pair it with a UPS or surge-protected circuit if your NVR and network equipment cannot tolerate power spikes.
- The 3.4A USB limit is shared across all four ports; simultaneous multi-device charging will divide available current. If you're charging three tablets and a phone at once, expect slower performance on each.
The P3WUH makes sense for compact surveillance control rooms where every inch of desk or wall space matters and you need to consolidate AC power and USB charging into one tidy footprint. It's not a surge protector or conditioning device, so don't expect it to protect against power anomalies—that's a job for a dedicated UPS on the circuit upstream.
