USB-C™, the new standard of USB, is already included in devices such as the latest laptops, MacBooks, phones and tablets, and will spread to pretty much everything that currently uses the older, larger USB connector. USB-C™ is a natural evolution with many strong features including fast charging, data transfer speeds of up to double that of USB 3.0, and a smaller connector shape that is reversible making it easier to plug in.
To enable people to link these latest USB-C™ devices with peripherals that have other connectors – including HDMI, Ethernet, VGA, SD / microSD Cards and regular USB-A – it is likely that a USB-C™ adapter will be needed. To support this demand, Verbatim has launched a range of elegant multiport hubs and adapters that provide the flexibility and convenience to connect to a wide selection of peripherals.
Multiport Hubs
USB-C™ multiport hubs provide multiple connection options. For example, Verbatim’s most complete hub (pictured) includes three USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C™ power charging port, an HDMI port to connect to ultra high definition 4K HDMI displays, a gigabit Ethernet port to link to wired networks, SD and microSD card reader slots to read or transfer files to and from SD or micro SD memory cards. Other Verbatim hubs have different combinations based on user preferences, as listed in the table below.
Adapters
UCB-C™ adapters provide single ports for specific connection requirements. The Verbatim adapter pictured here provides HDMI connection and supports ultra HD 4K razor-sharp resolutions. Other Verbatim adapters in the range include connections for VGA, Gigabit Ethernet and 4K HDMI with a longer 1.5m cable.
“New sleek laptops and other devices with only USB-C™ connectors are lovely, but people will need to also purchase a multiport hub or adapter to continue using the other essential peripherals that they may own,” said Verbatim Product Manager, Dana Mirau. “These can include anything from TVs or monitors and external storage devices like hard drives or USB drives, to things like power banks, network cables or headphones – basically all the devices that still need to be connected or charged from your new laptop or MacBook.”
