Monoprice
Introduces Lowest Priced Line of Colorful, Ultra-Premium USB-C Cables
The Palette Series Offers High Speeds, Versatility
and Value without Cutting Corners on Quality
Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. (April 12,
2016) — Monoprice, an online retailer
offering high-quality and affordably priced consumer electronics and
accessories, today announced the availability of a new line of USB-C cables—the
Palette Series.
Offering the industry’s largest assortment of USB-C cables and adapters,
Monoprice is further widening the gap between its competitors with this competitively-priced
collection that starts as low as $3.99 and includes cables in different sizes, colors
and USB connectivity varieties. The Palette Series follows strict USB standards
and is backed by the retailer’s lifetime warranty and tech support to ensure
customers can buy with confidence.
“We
were the first company to introduce USB-C cables, and now we have the largest
inventory available of cables, adapters and portable chargers,” said Bernard
Luthi, president of Monoprice. “Last year at this time the market was dominated
by two USB-C equipped devices, the Chromebook and MacBook, and there were only
a select few companies offering USB-C cables at various price points. Fast forward
to today, there are around 66 USB-C compatible devices and hundreds of cables.
The price ceiling has gone down and to keep our competitive edge, we’ve
developed the Palette Series to be the most diverse, highest quality and lowest
cost line on the market.”
The
Palette Series supports syncing and data transfer between USB-C devices,
allowing users to easily connect their USB-C equipped Mac, PC or phone to other
USB devices. With the reversible Type-C connector, users can connect their
cables in any orientation for ease of use. Additionally, the cables are
tangle-resistant and feature braided nylon jackets to protect against damage. The
cables are now available in 2.0 USB connectivity and 3.0 is available later
this month.
