- A world first
- Good for the environment and helps save money
- Watch the flow of power in real time
Behold the Power Aware Cord, or The Pac, for short.
To all appearances it seems like a regular power outlet, but upon closer inspection, you'll see that this is a completely unique and innovative product.
The Pac is the world's first power outlet where you can see the current going through the cord in real time, visualized by a beautiful blue-green light. With more and more powerful products, the light flows faster, but even when products are in standby mode, you will quickly be overwhelmed by how much power is drawn.
This is exactly the greatness of The Pac. A running water tap always shuts off, but what about the electricity? Visually, The Pac is a joy to look at when using the connected products. The light even dims automatically when the room darkens so as not to disturb you, but it will also make you want to turn off the outlet when you leave.
With this instant insight into how much products actually draw, you'll end up always turning them off other boxes in the home. In an average household, stand-by makes up 15% of the electricity bill and by turning it off, a regular apartment has saved SEK 1,000 on average in electricity costs and at the same time contributed to a better environment. If everyone turned off their standby, we would save as much carbon dioxide as Sweden's cars emit in a year.
The Pac has been named one of the world's 50 best inventions by TIME Magazine.
