Multitasking devices for multitasking users

Updated July 24, 2019: Do you have customers who fight with their partner, parent, or roommate over who gets to charge their mobile device next? Then it’s time you offered them a solution: a multitasking, multiport USB charging station.

The number of Americans who own mobile electronic devices is constantly growing. Let’s look at the numbers. According to the Pew Research Center, 96% of Americans own a cellphone of some kind, with 81% owning smartphones. That’s up from 35% in 2011. Nearly three-quarters of US adults own desktop or laptop computers. And roughly half now own tablet computers and roughly half own eReader devices.

Finding the right multi-port USB charging station for your customers’ favorite electronic devices will depend upon their needs. So, Petra’s here to help. Check out some of our options for multiport chargers from Manhattan Products.

USB charging station charges up to 10 devices—all at the same time!

Yes, you read that right. Your customers can keep all their personal devices organized, charged and ready to go with the multitasking Manhattan 10-Port USB Charging Station. With 10 extra high-speed, backward-compatible ports, this USB charging station is ideal for charging cell phones, tablets and other mobile accessories.

The compact yet heavy-duty charging hub features power and hub-to-PC ports on the sides to organize connections and minimize cable clutter. This hub even offers data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. As a result, with this hub, users can consolidate numerous less-capable hubs into a single USB solution.

Other Manhattan USB 2.0 hubs come in all shapes, sizes, and total ports, providing versatile options for almost any scenario.

Manhattan also offers small SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and 3.1 hubs for less robust applications. Some add a Gigabit Ethernet adapter. Others include an SD Card slot and convert a USB-C port to an HDMI or VGA display.

Pocket-sized power for home or travel

If your customers are looking for something for their home or office that’s smaller in size, check out the Manhattan Power Delivery Wall Chargers. Available with or without a built-in USB-C cable, they plug into any standard 2-prong or 3-prong wall outlet. Plus they offer rapid charging for up to 2 smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, or other devices. One port is USB-A, the other is USB-C Power Delivery optimized for fast, intelligent charging.

Manhattan also offers a 10,000 mAh power bank. It can charge up to 2 USB-A devices at the same time. Bright LED indicators conveniently display available power levels. And the LED flashlight helps in low-light conditions. The small and slender housing is rubber coated for durability. It easily fits into pockets, laptop computer cases, backpacks, or an airplane carry-on. As a result, your customers will always have a fresh supply of power ready for an emergency or daily use when on the go.

Taking charge of the situation

An effective USB charging station will plug into a single power outlet and give your customers multiple USB ports to settle those “I get to use the charger next!” arguments before they start.
