The reliance on USB and computer support of an adapter for voip pstn
combining. uses more energy than the :
cost of the adapter
than the amount you can save on your voip calling plan!

a usb port ad cpu use >420 watts.. fugre out that you pay $0.016 per KWH
you pay over one e daollr per day in power more in commercial setting
where peak power charges are incurred.

A review suggests how much power is used here.............

ITS ... USB powered voip adapters.. so this is a voip groupand some
folks are buying aapter that use way more power $$ then they can save
using the cheapper calling schees. The combine-a-line does not use
externa power and of course does not need a USB port, which is connected
to a pc sucking > 400 watts.

Brain,

while the calculations can be modified to include % usage the message is
clear some adapter use more power than others. thelowest power unit is
combine-a-line, and this is by design.
