Accessory maker Belkin has recently introduced its Connect 4-Port USB-C, which functions as the company’s first U.S. product made from post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR). As of January, Belkin announced plans to transition to more environmentally-friendly materials for its products, and the launch of the hub is part of that effort.
The Connect 4-Port USB-C Hub is derived from 72 percent PCR for its product housing, which the company says was made without affecting the quality or safety of the unit. The hub offers four USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports and offers pass-through charging up to 100W. USB-C headphones and speakers are supported, and it works with Apple’s Macs and iPads.
Belkin has stated that the device is the only hub on the market that offers a maximum 10 Gb/s data throughput, which is approximately twice the speed of other available hubs. It’s also using Fast Role Swap (FRS) in an effort to prevent data loss and interruption of device connections when adding or removing a power source from the hub.
The Connect 4-Port USB-C Hub retails for $52 and it can be purchased from Amazon. Belkin also sells it directly for $45, but it is out of stock at the current time.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
