Satechi ST-MC2TCAM

For conventional chargers, external variety is not held in high esteem, usually it is just a block with a plug into which charging cables are inserted. Probably, a tablespoon or fork is easier to play with the design. The more interesting is the Satechi ST-MC2TCAM charging hub, which looks more like a modem or a capacious power bank than a standard charger.

The mother of all charges

The idea here is not quite common. Many people are tired that each gadget has its own charger, and all this junk is scattered around the apartment and free plugs are stuck in everything. Satechi ST-MC2TCAM is trying to streamline this chaos according to a long-proven scheme: we put it on the table like a regular network router, plug it into a power outlet and distribute energy to dead gadgets through the four available USB ports (2 regular USB and two USB-C. The top USB-C stands apart so as it has an output power of 60W and supports Power Delivery.The total charging power is an impressive 75W.

Lightweight and strong anodized aluminium body

If the output current exceeds the maximum allowable value, the output will automatically turn off to protect both the device itself and the device that is being charged. Also note that the body of the device is made of anodized aluminium, which makes it lightweight, durable and protects against electromagnetic interference. What you need while traveling. And the kit comes with a rather long cable of 1.2 metres, which simplifies the placement of the hub near the outlet. Well, there is only one minus — the price is in the best traditions of Apple peripherals. If you don't need that much power or just a pair of USB-C, then you can find a similar hub for several times cheaper. For example, here is such an option from Xiaomi.
