Lidl frequently offers the Silvercrest USB socket, a popular product from their private label range. This durable device is made of robust plastic and includes connection and mounting clamps, meaning you don’t need to purchase anything extra. It’s a standard socket equipped with two USB ports, providing a total of three connection points to the electrical network. A regular USB charger often blocks an entire socket; this allows you to charge two devices concurrently while keeping a standard socket free.

Why did the USB standard gain ground?
The USB standard was first introduced in 1996, over 28 years ago, as a simpler way to connect hardware to computers. Prior to USB, PCs typically had dedicated ports for specific peripherals like mice, keyboards, and joysticks. USB, which stands for Worldwide Serial Bus, aimed to provide a universal standard for connecting a wide range of devices. It also offered relatively fast data transfer speeds. Though, widespread adoption took time. A key turning point came in 1998 when Apple’s iMac computers began using only USB ports.
Over the years, various USB connectors have emerged. Currently, USB-C is the dominant standard for modern phones, tablets, and laptops, thanks to its reversible design and high-speed data transfer and charging capabilities.
