December 11th, 2019 - Chula Vista, California, U.S.A. -  SMK Electronics Corporation, U.S.A., a division of SMK Corporation, today announced introduction of the SMK-Link-branded USB-C MagTech™ Charging Cable–a 6.5’ woven charging cable with magnetic quick-disconnect tip. Providing fast 87w charging for USB-C and Thunderbolt™ 3-equipped laptops and supported devices, the MagTech Charging Cable (offered in both Space Gray and Black) will be available through computer resellers and online retailers starting in January, 2020. See a live demonstration at CES 2020 (Sands Expo Hall, Booth #41118).

“We are excited to be introducing such a deceptively simple, yet surprisingly effective product,” said Mr. Paul Evans, President, SMK Electronics Corporation, U.S.A. “Today’s ultra-thin laptops are typically provisioned with either USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 ports–ports used both for charging and to charge supported devices. Our new MagTech Charging Cable, with its break-away magnetic tip, eliminates laptop damage due to cording accidents, while making device charging fast, easy and secure.”
