j5create and Intel(r) are working together to develop one of the worlds' first USB4(tm) multi-port adapters.

USB4(tm) is the latest USB(tm) specification offering several improvements over legacy USB-C(r) adapters including higher transfer speeds, more efficient bandwidth allocation between data and display protocols, as well as backward compatibility with older USB(tm) and Thunderbolt(tm) specifications.

"We're thrilled to work with Intel(r) to bring the latest USB(tm) peripherals to market." said Steven Lyu, Chief Operating Officer at j5create. "We are always innovating to deliver high-performance solutions users have been anticipating through a variety of products, technologies, and design collaborations."

The USB4(tm) multi-port adapters will be one of the first to incorporate the latest Intel(r) USB4(tm) controller, offering Thunderbolt(tm) compatibility and USB(tm) legacy support. Set to release in Q1 2022, these USB4(tm) multi-port adapters provide efficient and dynamic bandwidth allocation up to 20Gbps and dual 4K video support in addition to high-speed peripheral ports.
