Learn more by watching our Point Pod PPCU1 | Pop-Up Power Outlet 1 Power Point with USB A+C | Silver/White video.
The Point Pod PPCU1 is a motorised pop-up power outlet rated 10A 250V, featuring one Australian standard power socket and two USB charging ports (2.1A each: one USB A and one USB C), finished in silver with white sockets and surrounds. The PPCU1 is designed for benchtop installation and includes a 1.9-metre flex and plug for DIY installation. It complies with IP44 water-resistance standards and carries a 2-year Australian warranty on all parts and labour.
Kitchen and bench upgrades often leave limited space for visible power outlets and chargers, forcing users to rely on surface-mounted extension leads and power boards that clutter the work surface. The PPCU1 eliminates this problem by nestling flush below the benchtop when not in use, then rising at a touch to deliver power exactly where it is needed. Homeowners and tradies fitting modern kitchens are increasingly specifying pop-up outlets for island benches, peninsulas, and preparation zones where ready power and charging access improve workflow without sacrificing aesthetics.
The PPCU1 combines power and dual USB charging in a single motorised unit without wasting bench space. The dual USB ports support both USB A and USB C, so devices charge without adapter conversion. Smartphones, tablets, and small appliances can draw power simultaneously from the one outlet and two USB ports. The motorised mechanism is smooth and quiet, with a built-in safety lock that prevents the outlet closing if a plug is inserted. For renovators and installers, the adjustable collar fits any benchtop thickness, making it ideal for aftermarket retrofitting on existing surfaces.
The PPCU1 is not suitable for outdoor or damp exposed installations, and is rated only for indoor protected benchtop environments where splash is managed and free-draining. Do not install the PPCU1 in outdoor kitchens, covered patios with overhead spray, bathrooms above splashback level, laundries, or locations subject to sustained moisture or salt-air exposure. The IP44 rating handles occasional splash during benchtop use but does not provide weatherproof protection for external applications.

(PPCU1)
The PPCU1 is the compact 1-outlet model with dual USB charging. Point Pod also makes the PPC01 (2 outlets, no USB) and PPM01 (3 outlets with USB-A & USB-C). Choose based on how many power sockets and USB ports your benchtop needs.
The PPCU1 is supplied with a flex, plug, and mounting collar for DIY benchtop installation. You cut a 102mm hole, insert the outlet, and plug it into an existing 10A GPO or circuit. However, electrical work may require a licensed electrician in your state — confirm with your local electrical inspector before proceeding.
Yes. The PPCU1 can supply power to both the standard outlet (up to 2400W total) and the two USB ports (2.1A combined at 5V) simultaneously, provided the total power draw does not exceed the 10A circuit protection feeding the outlet.
The PPCU1 requires 550mm depth of cabinet space behind the benchtop for the outlet body to recess. Measure your cabinetry before purchase. If your cabinet is shallower than 550mm, the PPCU1 will not fit properly.
No. The PPCU1 has a built-in mechanical safety feature that prevents the motorised outlet from closing if a plug or USB cable is inserted. This stops accidental disconnection during use.
The PPCU1 comes with a 2-year Australian warranty covering defects in materials and labour. If you have a fault, contact Sparky Direct with your order details and a description of the issue. We will arrange for the unit to be returned to us for repair or replacement under warranty.
