My new must-have USB-C accessories for Mac and Windows users can support 8K monitors

ZDNET’s key takeaways

Satechi, a company renowned for its high-quality docks, dongles, chargers, and other desktop accessories has released three USB-C accessories aimed at enhancing connectivity for Mac and Windows users.

Also: This 200W charging beast can power six devices at once (and it’s smaller than you’d think)

And as I’ve come to expect from Satechi, all three accessories ooze a high-end premium feel, featuring a sleek aluminum enclosure, tangle-free braided cable, and reinforced neck for optimum durability, and offer exactly what they claim to offer on the box.

The Satechi USB-C to HDMI 2.1 8K cable features a robust yet sleek and stylish aluminum enclosure, and the two-meter braided cable gives the user a much-appreciated tangle-free way to connect their device to a display, while the reinforced neck on the connectors offers the best possible durability. 

The Satechi USB-C to HDMI 2.1 8K adapter has been designed and built to support high-resolution 8K/60Hz outputs on compatible devices, while also being able to offer 4K/120Hz output options for those that value refresh speed over 8K resolution.
