Cable Matters unveiled a foldable 4K USB-C hub Tuesday for hybrid workers to use on the road or in a home office.
“The Cable Matters Foldable USB-C Multiport Adapter with HDMI & USB Power Delivery (PD) converts a single USB-C port into a multimedia powerhouse, all in a small and ultra-portable form factor,” the company said.

The compact new hub features an HDMI port that supports up to a 4K 60Hz resolution and refresh rate. It also sports a 10Gbps USB-C port with 100W pass-through charging, a 10Gbps USB-A port and a USB 2.0 port for peripherals.
One aspect that adds to the Foldable USB-C Multiport Adapter’s portability and keeps its form factor minimal is its slim and foldable pigtail adapter that connects to a host computer. It lets the hub’s pigtail cable fold up into the hub, reducing cable clutter.
“The Foldable USB-C Multiport Adapter is the perfect solution for the remote worker,” said Cable Matters President and CEO Jeff Jiang. “Turn your work laptop into a full-featured desktop, then neatly pack the adapter away in your laptop bag after work. That is the benefit of the Foldable, Portable, Affordable design.”

The hub uses Parade Technologies’ latest single-chip PS188 USB-C with PD, HDMI2.0 and USB3.2 10G Hub integration.
“Parade Technologies’ highly integrated single-chip USB-C solution lets companies like Cable Matters offer small, compact and feature-filled USB-C connectivity products,” said Jimmy Chiu, Parade Technologies executive VP of Marketing. “We are proud to work with Cable Matters to bring this innovative USB-C solution to market.”
While many Cable Matters products sell on Amazon, this one doesn’t appear to be there yet.
