Copper SB is a “Socket-outlet” enabled charger that can accommodate all EV charging connectors and avoids having cables lying around when the charger isn’t in use. 

However, you may want to use your Copper SB as a tethered device in some cases. For this, you can turn on the Charging cable lock feature. When activated, the charger will activate its locking mechanism as soon as it detects an EV charging cable plugged in to secure the connector until the functionality is disabled.
