270W 4C+2A Port GaN USB-C Charger

A desktop power station for the whole retro shelf. Where most chargers offer a single high-current port, this charger puts four USB-C Power Delivery ports on one compact desktop unit — and every one of them supplies a true 12 V at 3 A, the profile that USB-C retro console adapters are built around.

Four USB-C Ports, All Capable Of 12V / 3A

This is what sets this charger apart for a console shelf. Many high-wattage chargers reserve their 12 V / 3 A profile for one “flagship” port, leaving the rest unable to run a console adapter at all. Here, all four USB-C ports deliver it — so you can power several USB-C console adapters at the same time from a single brick, rather than one and a pile of leftovers.

Key Features

• 270 W GaN charger in a compact desktop form factor
• Six ports — four USB-C PD plus two USB-A
• 12 V / 3 A available on every USB-C port, not just one
• Up to 100 W from USB-C1 (20 V / 5 A) for the highest-draw systems
• Broad protocol support — USB PD, Qualcomm Quick Charge, BC1.2 and Huawei Quick Charge
• Intelligent charging — detects each connected device and adjusts output automatically for safe, stable delivery
• GaN semiconductor technology — higher efficiency, less heat and a smaller body than a conventional charger of the same output
• Australian plug
• CE, FCC and RoHS certified

Output Specifications

• USB-C1: 5V/3A  ·  9V/3A  ·  12V/3A  ·  15V/3A  ·  20V/5A  —  100 W max
• USB-C2: 5V/3A  ·  9V/3A  ·  12V/3A  ·  15V/3A  ·  20V/3.25A  —  65 W max
• USB-C3: 5V/3A  ·  9V/3A  ·  12V/3A  ·  15V/3A  ·  20V/2.25A  —  45 W max
• USB-C4: 5V/3A  ·  9V/3A  ·  12V/3A  ·  15V/2A  ·  20V/1.5A  —  30 W max
• USB-A1 / USB-A2: 5V/3A

With everything connected at once, the ports share the load as 65 W + 45 W + 45 W + 30 W + 15 W.

Which Port For Which Console

Every USB-C port can supply 12 V / 3 A, so any of them will run a 12 V console adapter. What differs is the ceiling at higher voltages, so it pays to match the port to the system:

• USB-C1 (100 W) — the highest-draw systems: Wii, Wii U, GameCube, Dreamcast and Saturn.
• USB-C2 and USB-C3 (65 W / 45 W) — mid-range draw, and plenty of headroom for 12 V adapters.
• USB-C4 (30 W) — lower-draw systems: NES, SNES, Mega Drive and TG16 / PC Engine.
• USB-A1 and USB-A2 — 5 V only. Fine for accessories and lighting, but not for USB-C PD console adapters.

Why GaN?

Gallium nitride switches far more efficiently than the silicon used in older chargers, so it wastes less energy as heat. That efficiency is what allows this much output from a unit small enough to sit beside a console rather than behind it.

Good to Know

The headline 270 W is the peak capability; with all six ports in use the combined output is shared as listed above. Every console power adapter has its own voltage and current requirement — check that yours is met by the port you plug it into. Sold as a single charger; USB-C cables are not included.
