"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.
