Plugable, experts in advanced connectivity, is proud to introduce the world’s first 10-port USB-C charger with intelligent power allocation and priority-based charging – the PS-10CC. This cutting-edge charger is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of users, from tech enthusiasts and families to small businesses, educational institutions, and travelers.
Offering an unparalleled blend of efficiency, convenience, and sustainability, the PS-10CC is set to transform how people manage and charge their devices, addressing common frustrations like cable clutter, limited power outlets, and slow charging speeds.
“We’re incredibly proud of the PS-10CC Charger because it addresses a real need for simplicity and efficiency in a tech-driven world,” said Bernie Thompson, CTO of Plugable. “We’ve built a solution that helps people manage their devices without the hassle of multiple chargers. This charger isn’t just about convenience—it’s about creating a sustainable, high-quality product that will last for years to come, helping reduce electronic waste in the process.”
Providing Power
In addition to prioritizing charging, the PS-10CC also prioritizes its environmental impact. This 10-port charging device does not include a typical DC barrel power supply. Instead, by allowing customers to use a USB-C charger from a laptop or similar device that they already own (18W minimum required), Plugable is able to reduce the overall shipping size and weight of the unit, reducing fuel and emissions associated with shipping. More importantly, it reduces e-waste, a growing concern associated with the often redundant USB-C chargers included with many devices.
Intelligent Power Allocation
The PS-10CC employs real-time current sensing technology, allowing it to intelligently distribute power across all connected devices in priority order from left to right. Whether a power-hungry laptop or a smaller gadget like a smartwatch, the charger dynamically adjusts its power output to deliver the most efficient charge possible. This real-time adjustment ensures that devices receive optimal power based on their individual needs, preventing overheating or energy waste while maintaining high charging speeds across all 10 ports in priority order.
By taking advantage of priority charging features, users can keep their daily drivers like laptops and tablets in the leftmost ports to keep them topped up and ready to go, while adding lower priority devices further down the line to charge overnight—without overburdening the power source.
Priority-Based Charging
A standout feature of the PS-10CC is its priority-based charging capability. The charger is programmed to prioritize devices connected to the leftmost ports, ensuring that the most important devices—like smartphones or laptops—are charged first. As those devices reach full battery, the charger automatically shifts the excess power to the next set of connected gadgets, ensuring the fastest overall charge time for everything plugged in. This is a game-changer for users who rely on critical devices throughout their day and need them ready to go at all times.
For families, the PS-10CC serves as a central charging hub, helping to keep devices organized in busy households. Parents can charge their smartphones, laptops, and tablets alongside their children’s devices without worrying about cluttered charging stations or limited outlets.
Charge indicator LEDs are especially useful in small offices for streamlining charging efforts. Each port on the PS-10CC is equipped with a status light: solid blue means the device on that port is fully charged, blinking blue shows the device is currently charging, and purple indicates the port is available. The device’s safety features protect valuable company assets.
Sustainability at Its Core
Plugable has built the PS-10CC with sustainability in mind. The multi-port charger reduces the need for multiple individual chargers, in turn helping reduce electronic waste. With fewer devices to manage and replace, users are making a more eco-conscious choice while simplifying their daily tech routines. The charger itself is made from 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum and 75% PCR PC+ABS.
This aligns with Plugable’s long-term vision for environmental responsibility, offering a product that is not only designed for today’s needs but is also built to support a more sustainable future. In both family households and business environments, this sustainability-first approach offers peace of mind and practical benefits.
