UGREEN adds first 500W GaN charger to Nexode series
Hong Kong-based UGREEN (which provides charging accessories) has unveiled the Nexode 500W 6-Port GaN Desktop Fast Charger, which is claimed to be the first 500W gallium nitride (GaN) charger engineered to simultaneously charge six devices with unprecedented power. Combining groundbreaking charging power, intelligent safety systems, and near-universal compatibility, it is built to handle the high-performance demands of professionals, gaming setups, and tech-heavy households.
The Nexode 500W 6-Port GaN Desktop Fast Charger eliminates the need for multiple adapters due to its five USB-C ports and one USB-A port, enabling concurrent fast charging for six devices. Professionals can power five high-end laptops and a smartphone from a single compact unit. One of the five USB-C ports can deliver up to 240W output to a single device, which is enough to charge a MacBook Pro 16” at maximum speed (from 0 to 60% in about 30 minutes). Although there are very few devices currently on the market that can fully utilize 240W USB-C input charging, UGREEN says that it anticipated future needs.
At its core, six integrated GaN chips achieve a 95% energy conversion rate, minimizing heat and reducing energy loss. Equipped with multi-channel NTC sensors, the Nexode 500W charger monitors temperature in real time, ensuring stable and safe charging even under continuous 500W loads, preventing overheating and damage during prolonged high-intensity use. It is suitable for demanding environments such as offices, studios and high-performance gaming setups.
Designed for versatility, the Nexode 500W supports PD 3.1/3.0/2.0, QC 3.0, PPS, AFC, FCP, Apple 5V/2.4A and BC 1.2 protocols, ensuring compatibility with nearly all laptops, smartphones, tablets and accessories. Its adaptive power distribution dynamically allocates wattage based on device requirements – prioritizing high-power needs like a gaming laptop while maintaining optimal speeds for lower-wattage devices such as smartphones, all without manual intervention.
