With mobility as the primary driving force in technology today, manufacturers often find themselves doing away with valuable ports and connectivity options just to shave off a few extra millimeters from their devices.

Usually this isn’t a problem, but when you need to connect multiple USB devices, you can find the availability of ports extremely wanting. This is where FSP’s new NB H series adapters come in – by combining a USB 3.0 hub with a near-universal power adapter, FSP gives you more USB ports without the extra bulk of an additional hub.

Both adapters are also around the size of an eyeglass case, so they are really quite compact.

The smaller NB H 65 comes with two USB 3.0 ports and a total output of 65 watts (10 watts for the USB 3.0 ports and 55 watts for the adapter itself). The slightly larger NB H 110 features three USB 3.0 ports and a total output of 110 watts (15 watts for the USB ports and 95 watts for the adapter). The USB 3.0 ports on both adapters are capable of outputting up to 1A for each port.

The USB 3.0 ports are also backward compatible with older USB 2.0 and even USB 1.1 ports, so owners of older devices will still be able to get some use out of the NB H series.

The NB H series adapters will ship with seven power adapter tips that are compatible with notebooks and ultrabooks from major brands like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung and others. But if you can’t find a tip for your notebook, FSP has included a form you can fill up to get assistance.

FSP will showcase the NB H series adapters at Computex 2015 in Taipei. The devices are also already available on Newegg, Amazon and a few other retailers – the NB H 65 and NB H 110 are priced at US$54.99 and US$69.99 respectively.
