Switched electrical receptacles
A switched electric receptacle allows you to control one outlet with a switch while the other remains hot. Example: a lamp plugged into the switched outlet turns on as you enter a room while another plugged item is in use. Another use for a switched receptacle would be soffit electrical receptacles, where you wish to have control without having to unplug and re-plug strings of lights constantly.

USB electrical receptacles
The USB charging receptacle is the same as a standard outlet but solely for charging USB devices. They can come with many usb ports or different sizes for different types of devices. This can reduce that amount of receptacles needed to multiple electronic devices.
Smart electrical receptacles
A smart outlet is a power receptacle that plugs into a traditional electrical outlet. This integrates it into a smart home network. It allows you to control whatever you plug into it using an app installed on a smartphone or with voice command through a virtual assistant. This is a great technology still in its infancy and can help you accomplish simple tasks like turning on and off lighting remotely, or other devices.
Recessed electrical receptacles
These outlets allows you to conceal plugs behind monitors, TV’s, or other connectors from protruding above the surface of the wall.
GFCI or AFCI electrical receptacles
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters work in areas like the kitchen, bathroom or garage where the risk of electrical shock is greater. They recognize many types of hazardous situations and respond by interrupting power thus reducing fires caused by an electrical system.
