Computer accessory brand Plugable has announced the launch of the Plugable USB-C 6-Port Priority Charger. The company claims it’s the world’s first USB-C-only six-port charger designed to work with the USB-C power supply that you already own. In essence, it’s a series of intelligent charging ports that you use with your own power supply.
Following on from the success of Plugable’s PS-10CC 10-port USB-C charger, the company decided to make something a little smaller for those of us who don’t need quite so many ports but who would still like the intelligence and sustainability that made the original device a CES favorite.
At the heart of the PS-6CC is something called PriorityShare, a patented smart-charging system that senses real-time current needs and then prioritizes power distribution across the ports, from left to right. Devices plugged into the leftmost ports get the lion’s share of the power first, ensuring laptops, tablets or other high-priority gear are charged immediately.
When the left-hand devices reach full charge, the power is automatically reallocated to the next devices in line, optimizing charging efficiency across the board but without throttling of charging performance.
“When we launched the PS-10CC, our customers were clear. They loved the concept, but many wanted something more compact and portable,” says Bernie Thompson, CTO of Plugable. “The PS-6CC is a direct response to that feedback: the same smarter power management, but in a smaller footprint with fewer ports. It’s about cleaner desks, less e-waste, and giving people exactly what they need.”
Whether you’re powering lots of devices at home, managing tablets in a classroom or streamlining an office setup, the PS-6CC aims to deliver maximum flexibility. Its six USB-C ports can support charging up to 100W in total. There are clear LED indicators for showing power status and port activity, giving users visibility of their charging ecosystem.
The device also has several safety features, including over-voltage and overcurrent protection. It can detect and flag underpowered adapters and is third-party tested and certified to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Where traditional multi-port chargers often use a bulky and proprietary power brick, the P6CC has a leaner solution because it can be used with almost any USB-C power supply rated from 18W to 100W. Users can help reduce packaging and the e-waste associated with unnecessary duplication of power adapters.
Why buy another adapter if you already have plenty at home? This sustainability-first design makes the PS-6CC a sensible choice for eco-conscious consumers and organizations. However, if you don’t have a charger that’s powerful enough, then Plugable’s 140W GaN charger would be a suitable choice.
