Row plug has a long history. Since the invention of electrical products or electricity, row plug has also been born because it is convenient to extend wires. However, the platoon has always been a "low-key" life. With the development of science and technology, a few platoons with "intelligence" occasionally have the opportunity to be reported in large numbers. However, a press conference at a certain meter changed all this, claiming to spend 20 million yuan on research. Rebus called this inconspicuous neighborhood art. It turns out that row plug can still play like this. In fact, the artistic journey of the USB patch board is still early in ORICO, which has produced USB patch boards since 2012. ORICO, which has rich experience in development and production, has launched a new product called "IPC-2A4U". LEO has the honor to get an engineering prototype of this product. After two weeks of personal testing, let's share it with you.
The outer packing box has followed ORICO's consistent style, white envelope, intermediate product LOGO, and is also the popular simple style of many digital products at present. Behind the box is the product information, including product name, model, package content, technical parameters, safety functions, etc., followed by ORICO's company information, and a large "engineering prototype". (This word always indicates that the quality of large goods will be better)
Although this row plug is an engineering machine, it is still very carefully wrapped. The socket body is covered with a frosted plastic bag, and even the power cord is additionally wrapped with a bushing, which makes it easier to fix and more beautiful. There is also a user manual and a thank you card.
ORICO IPC-2A4U is a comprehensive upgrade of the previous USB patch panel. It is said that there are tens of details for improvement. The appearance of the product is similar to that of ordinary row plug. It is a cuboid structure. A power switch is designed on the front, which can turn off the power of the socket with one key. But on the front, two sets of new national standard AC jacks are set. Instead of designing USB jacks on the front, there are four USB jacks on the top side of the patch panel.
The front face of the patch board is sanded, with a circle of bright design around it and small rounded corners at four corners. It looks more round and delicate overall. Looking at the AC jack from the front, we can also see that a safety door is designed, which is especially suitable for children at home. This protective door can prevent children from inserting fingers or metal objects into it to prevent electric shock.
The plug at the handshaking part is designed to be larger at the top, which makes it easier to grip and plug in and out the plug. Although it is much smaller than the millet row plug, it still has a poor experience in actual use. The four feet on the back of the socket are also designed with anti-skid foot pads, which can well fix the socket. In fact, four foot pads are dug out, and the assembly screws of the patch panel are below. However, the patch panel cannot be disassembled without tools.
Let's take a look at this product analysis diagram. Each part and function should be clear at a glance. The USB patch board and the ordinary AC jack are similar to the ordinary patch board. The most important thing is to look at the USB jack. ORICO IPC-2A4U uses the American MPS synchronous rectification high efficiency circuit, and has also designed the identification current limiting chip and lightning surge protection circuit In fact, children in rural areas may often have such a thing that they need to rush home to unplug all kinds of electrical appliances in thunderstorm weather, because the lightning strikes the wires, making the household current suddenly increase, and burning the users' electrical appliances on the whole line (Because all high-rise buildings are designed with lightning rods, the possibility of being struck by lightning is greatly reduced.) Such a configuration in the same socket, such as Bull, APC and other big brands, has a price of more than 100 yuan, which shows the cost performance of ORICO
At present, ORICO IPC-2A4U has become the main patch panel in the home. In addition to the safety mentioned above, the design of the entire jack position is very reasonable At present, where the row plug is located, there is only one sweeper with a tripod socket, while other digital devices, such as mobile phones and smart watches, KINDLE, Tablets and so on all use USB charging interface, and those original charging adapters can be eliminated. Although I am not a Virgo, it is very uncomfortable for the plug to protrude, which makes the harness behind irregular, or the patch board to lie on its side because the plug is too narrow. The USB charging interface is designed at the top to solve this problem.
Before the millet row was inserted, it really made my eyes alight at that time. It's not to belittle this socket here, but it's always coming from behind. In terms of security, the rationality of interface design can be seen at a glance from the chart comparison of these popular models. This is just a real data comparison, and you can judge the advantages and disadvantages in your own mind.
Summary:
This patch panel is an upgraded version of ORICO IPC-2A4U on the old version. It has greatly improved both in technology and performance. The current price is unknown, but the current price of the old version is 58 yuan from Amazon. According to the calculation, the price of the new version should be close. This configuration has a very high cost performance ratio. In addition, considering the safety of expensive digital equipment and appliances, It is very necessary to equip one.
