Accessory maker Satechi has updated its 4-in-1, 6-in-1, and 7-in-1 multi-port adapters with faster transfer speeds, stronger 100W charging for connected devices, and more. Multi-port adapters aka USB-C hubs let you connect multiple devices simultaneously without worrying about signal inversion and compatibility. Satechi's hubs bring plentiful connectivity options. Like all hubs, they plug into hosts such as Mac and Windows computers, tablets, and smartphones via a single USB-C cable. The new adapters have USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports with transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, and stronger 100W USB Power Delivery (USB PD) to charge plugged peripherals instead of the 60W limit of each former version. They also have slimmer USB-C connectors to fit devices in protective cases, and braided cables that won't tangle with a reinforced neck.
