Hi, I'm Bernie Thompson. I'm the founder of Plugable
technologies. So USB-C is great. It can do kind of everything
with just a single connector and cable, but USB-C laptops like
this Macbook, you know, they only have one or two ports on
them often, maybe at most four with if you've got the Macbook
Pro a Windows laptops, typically one or two. So how do you get
the ports back to be able to connect a monitor, to be able to
connect a keyboard and mouse, SD memory cards, all the other
devices that you use. So a USB-C hub is the easy way to do that.
All in a single device. There's a lot of choice on the market
for USB-C hubs, but a lot of them get details of the USB-C
spec wrong because USB-C can get complicated. So we wanted to
come out with the USB-C hub that makes no compromises that has
maximum compatibility using the latest chip sets, the latest
versions of all the specs and the poor choices that are the
most common ones that you need for your laptop. So let's look
at what we've done here with the Plugable USB-C is 7-IN-1. So we
have an HDMI port to connect an extra monitor, which is exactly
what we're doing here. On this side, we have an SD card reader,
so you can connect in a memory card and be able to have that be
read by your
operating system on your laptop. We have a USB-C port that is a
pass through power port. So the way these sorts of USB-C hubs
work is you plug it into your laptop, but you could still
charge your laptop just through the hub. So you connect in your
existing USB-C power supply into the USB-C hub, and it will still
charge your laptop. And then on this side, we've got three USB
ports. So kind of the most flexible choice to be able to
connect all the devices that you already have that are probably
USB. So what are some of the other products get wrong that we
were able to get right with this product? Well, power's kind of
tricky here because we want to be able to charge the laptop at
the maximum rate that your power adapter supports, but we also
have a lot of other devices connected here. And by using the
latest chip sets, we have all of the kind of latest features and
protection that a lot of other USB-C hubs either don't have or
don't get right. For example, the chipset that we use in here
has current monitoring. So we're able to know exactly how much
power draw is coming from the laptop and from different
devices and be able to do dynamic tuning inside the USB-C
hub. So that in some circumstances where other
devices, other USB-C hubs won't work ours will. Another
characteristic that we
have with the latest chip sets on this USB-C hub is we support
what's called fast rolls swap. It's a USB-C feature that allows
the, the hub when it's plugged in without a power supply. And
then when a power supplies, plugged through the hub, to not
have to disconnect from the laptop, the most important case
where you'd care about this is if you're using like these,
these SD flashcard slots, or you've just got a USB flash
drive plugged in with most USB-C hubs on the market. Your USB-C
hub is actually going to disconnect from your laptop when
you plug or unplug the power supply to the USB-C hub. They
actually had to develop an extension to the USB-C standard
to try to solve that problem. And our Plugable USB-C seven and
one supports that new specification called fast roll
swap. So latest chip sets best compatibility, best possible
features all in a 7-IN-1 USB-C hub at a great price. And it's
all from Plugable a us company with US-based customer support.
