I.Improvements to existing models

Type-C has a more powerful power output capability, faster-charging transmission speed and more convenient use on the basis of the USB-A interface, so the combined use of USB-A and Type-C will be the current trend, and keeping up with this trend is an important information point for gaining greater market share.

For several of our existing popular sockets, we have made improvements to the original USB ports. For the original two USB-A ports the design was changed to one USB-A port plus a Type-C port. This will expand the range of fast charging and better meet the actual needs of consumers. The current selections are the SU27 series, SU26 series, AU21 series and AU010 series.

Moreover, each socket is distributed at a slanted 45 degrees, which allows for maximum proper plug-to-plug use. The sturdy base and the one-touch control of the main switch at the top, together with the improved A+C ports, is a design that is both practical and unique.
