USB port on panel for iPad power supply

[catmandu]

I went with a shielded one from Blue Sea vice the ACS one as it had two 2.1A ports, two iPads at one time if needed.

The cheap ones can also introduce noise. Especially annoying if one is using a iPhone or Pad to pump music through the intercom system.

I have one from stein, it's made by blue sea, so same as mentioned above. I thought about Amazon, but was already ordering with Stein so it was just easier.

Here's the one I've been using. No noise and easily powers my Stratux ADS-B and Ipad mini at the same time.

I have the 4.2A (2x 2.1A) version.
YMMV.

So none of the replies here explain what is different about the $300+ units.

Two easy explanations (that really resolve to one):

It's either an STC'd product, or they are preying on the PT Barnum-ism of consumers.

The $300 ones are for people who are building $150K RV's and the <$40 ones are for people building $65K RVs.

Can you post a link to one of the $300 units? Then we can see if we're comparing apples to apples.
