Power Plugs & Voltage in Cuba
In Cuba, the standard voltage is 110V at 60Hz, and plug types A, B, C, L are used.
Your plugs (Type A, Type B) fit Cuba's sockets directly.
Same as home. Any device that works there works in Cuba.
Check your charger Most phone, laptop and camera chargers are dual-voltage (look for “INPUT: 100–240V” on the label). Those only ever need a plug adapter, never a voltage converter. High-wattage items with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) are the usual exception.Cuba mains: 110V, 60 Hz.
Note A mix of A/B and European C/L plugs; voltage is commonly 110V but some resorts run 220V.
Plug types in Cuba
2 flat parallel pins (ungrounded, North America / Japan)
2 flat pins + a round grounding pin (North America)
2 round pins (Europlug, fits most of Europe)
3 round pins in a line (Italian)
Many modern chargers, laptops, phones and cameras are dual-voltage: their label reads INPUT: 100–240V. Those work anywhere in the world with just a plug adapter — no voltage converter needed. Only single-voltage, high-wattage devices (hair dryers, travel kettles, straighteners) are a real concern in Cuba’s 110V supply. Always check the label on your own device.
