New Belkin USB-C Hub, Cables for MacBook and Other Laptops

At CES this week, Belkin took the opportunity to showcase its latest collection of USB-C accessories, including a few items sorely missed by USB-C-equipped laptop owners like the 12-inch MacBook Retina.

The biggest release is the new Belkin USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub, a compact, black unit that plugs directly into a USB-C port on your PC laptop or MacBook. In return, it gives you two full-size USB ports and two USB-C ports – a nice balance considering that most USB-C hubs don’t bother with including more USB-C ports. However, what makes this 4-Port hub different is its inclusion. pass charge.What is this, you ask? It is the ability to charge your device while continuing to connect it to other accessories. Let’s say in the case of the MacBook, this means you can plug in the hub, then plug a charger into the hub and charge your MacBook while continuing to use the other three ports to connect other devices. It will be one of the first accessories to manage this success and the first third party to actually submit in quantity.

The Belkin USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub ships today from Belkin’s website; you can catch one here for 50 bucks.

While it’s not the first USB-C to HDMI adapter to ship, it’s still a competitive product thanks to the adapter’s support for 4K video up to 60Hz. This means that it supports the HDMI 2.0 standard (some adapters and cables do not support 4K video, but instead stand out at lower resolutions or lower refresh rates).

Like the Belkin USB-C hub, the USB-C to HDMI adapter will cost $50 when it ships this spring.
