BTC Group presents to you our brand new Octopus 2 smart device charger, providing you with the ability to charge 99% of smart devices with just one item! The new and exciting addition to the already innovative design of the original octopus is the introduction of the USB Type C charging connector.
If you haven’t seen what USB type C is yet we have a great article regarding the how we think this is going to be a trend in technology this year you can see this here. Just to give you a brief idea USB Type C is a new connection standard introduced to theoretically replace all over connections. It’s new reversible design (can be inserted front to back and back to front) can be used in the traditional way USB was used before as a communication cable between devices, or as a charging cable for smart devices. This cable does all this plus more, it is also able to transmit visual information, thus replacing HDMI cables, audio information, replacing AUX cables and its power carrying ability is scalable up to 100 watts so will be able to power items like laptops, computers, televisions etc.
This all seems great, but why include it on our new and updated octopus charger, USB Type C seems to be past early adoption phase, and a great percentage of flagship phones will come with this port as standard this coming year, with some early adopters releasing it last year. The USB type C is also the new charging port on the latest Apple Mac books, so at the moment or at least in the very near future, there will be a gradual uplift in the want and need for USB type C chargers!
