FYI, the FastMac wall outlets are not UL listed.

What does this means This means Underwriter Laboratories has not certified that these wall outlets have no design flaws that might result in a fire inside the walls of your home. As a result, no electrician in their right mind will install these for you, and many of them will tell you not to install them (as opposed to letting you DIY them). In the event of a fire, the insurance company would leave you holding the bag if you had the FastMac one installed.

The one sold via OWC is UL Listed, however it is not listed as BTO tamper resistant, which is something to consider if you have kids, and some building codes require BTO tamper resistant outlets.
