Monoprice is adding to their affordable line of USB cables with their new colorful, high quality, low cost Palette Series of USB-C cables. The tangle-resistant USB-C Palette Series cables feature braided nylon jackets and support syncing and data transfer between USB-C devices including Mac and PC computers, as well as smartphones and other USB devices.
“We were the first company to introduce USB-C cables, and now we have the largest inventory available of cables, adapters and portable chargers,” said Bernard Luthi, president of Monoprice. “Last year at this time the market was dominated by two USB-C equipped devices, the Chromebook and MacBook, and there were only a select few companies offering USB-C cables at various price points. Fast forward to today, there are around 66 USB-C compatible devices and hundreds of cables. The price ceiling has gone down and to keep our competitive edge, we’ve developed the Palette Series to be the most diverse, highest quality and lowest cost line on the market.”
Ranging in price from $3.99 to $5.99 and lengths from 6-inches to 6-feet, the Palette Series 2.0 cables connect devices with 5 VDC, 2.4A of power, and 480Mbps data transfer speeds. Standouts from the 2.0 cable selection include:
