Summary

Recommendation ITU-T L.1001 provides requirements for a universal power adapter solution (UPA) for stationary information and communication technology (ICT) devices that will reduce the number of power adapters that are produced by widening their application by more devices, thus enabling their reuse and increasing their life expectancy.

The solution also aims to reduce energy consumption. The longer the life cycle and possibility of avoiding device duplication reduces the demand on raw materials and limits the amount of e-waste.

The universal power adapter solution for stationary ICT equipment is designed to serve the vast majority of ICT devices.
