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.
