MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Paul Seed

Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

StarTech.com

Thirty & ThrivingOver the course of 30 years of operation, StarTech.com has witnessed dramatic evolution in the technology sector. I’d consider 2015 a tipping point year in terms of technological disruption. A driving trend behind this disruption was the continued miniaturization of devices. The release of the game-changing USB-C™ or USB Type-C™ connector certainly accelerated this movement.

In 2016, I expect the rapid adoption of new technology protocols, like USB-C and Thunderbolt™ 3, will continue - creating an ecosystem of unrestricted possibility, but, as a result, some connectivity confusion is inevitable.

StarTech.com’s hard-to-find made easy mission and expertise in this space makes us uniquely positioned to create connections between devices, whether legacy or the latest, enabling best-in-class performance, in any situation.

USB-C The Next Generation of Connectivity is Here!

A new connector has arrived for computers, peripherals, and mobile devices: the USB-C™ connector. Also known as USB Type-C™, it’s much more than just USB. Unlike its predecessors, the USB-C connector offers an array of benefits.

This new technology provides four times the data, twice the video bandwidth and potentially enough power to charge your laptop.

The USB Type-C connector is small and compact, making it ideal for the latest laptop and mobile devices. It can carry other interface types, such DisplayPort 1.2 and Thunderbolt™ 3. This means that it can carry up to 10Gbps of data with USB 3.1, or up to 40Gbps with Thunderbolt 3.

For early access to announcements and new products for USB-C and Thunderbolt 3, register at: www.startech.com/au/Thunderbolt-3

Thunderbolt 3 is proving to be a game changer in how we think about connectivity and performance.

Thunderbolt 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps, creating one compact port that does it all - delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device. It delivers four times the bandwidth enabling more speed and video bandwidth than any other current standard.

Thunderbolt 3 also includes built-in support for 10 GbE peer-to-peer connections enabling the fastest file transfers and PC migrations, as well as blazing fast access to data storage.

It can also carry enough power (up to100W) to charge full-size electronics. An important benefit of USB-C is its backwards compatibility with USB 3.0 and 2.0. It is also the only connector that carries Thunderbolt 3.
