"As today's laptops continue to evolve, growing thinner and lighter with every new model, many are only offering USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) ports for connectivity - relying on Wi-Fi to carry the bulk of their data transfer tasks," said John Blair, General Manager of Branded Products for SMK-Link Electronics. "Our two new products, the USB-C HDMI Hub (VP6930) and the USB-C 4-Port Hub (VP6940), join our USB-C Multi-Port Hub (VP6920) to offer a complete family of connectivity solutions for today's thinner laptops.

"Where our Multi-Port Hub offers everything from an HDMI port to SD card readers, these new additions are focused on improving daily tasks," continued Mr. Blair. "The vertically oriented USB ports in combination with a non-slip base make plugging and unplugging flash drives and USB dongles easy. The USB-C HDMI Hub offers three USB ports and HDMI port (HD to 4K); while the USB-C 4-Port Hub offers four high-speed USB 3.1 ports. Regardless of your needs, SMK-Link offers a USB-C connectivity solution tailored for you."
