Taipei, Taiwan (Jul. 20, 2026) - ATEN International, the leading provider of KVM and AV/IT connectivity and management solutions, today announced its strategic expansion into the Consumer Electronic market with the introduction of its next-generation GaN Charger Series under its essentials product line. Featuring the ultra-portable 65W 3-Port GaN Charger (UP365), alongside the premium 100W 4-Port Smart Display Charger (UP5100) and 165W 4-Port Smart Display Charger (UP5165), this launch is accompanied by high-velocity 240W USB-C® charging cables available in braided and magnetic options. Within this lineup, the smart display models (UP5100 and UP5165) stand as the world's only charger series allowing users to freely select their user interface (UI) style, perfectly bridging professional-grade power delivery with individual charging aesthetics.

To elevate traditional power brick designs, ATEN’s premium smart display chargers (UP5100 & UP5165) feature versatile 4-port charging (3x USB-C, 1x USB-A) alongside a built-in display with a Rotatable Screen, customizable Screen Timeout, and three market-first UI themes: Explorer, Lifestyle, and Dashboard.

The desktop-centric 100W UP5100 features PD 3.0 fast charging to effortlessly anchor professional multi-device workspaces, while the heavy-hitting 165W UP5165 delivers blazing-fast PD 3.1 speeds, engineered specifically to power high-performance laptops and demanding local AI computing or pro-creator workflows without power throttling.

For agile mobility, the ultra-compact 65W UP365 GaN Charger streamlines travel, effortlessly powering everyday multi-device setups on the go. This highly portable, 3-port charger delivers high power efficiency and low operating temperatures in a travel-friendly, foldable-plug form factor. Supporting high-speed PD 3.0 fast charging, it features built-in multi-layered protection to actively safeguard connected electronics against overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating, short-circuiting, and overcharging.

To round out this ecosystem, ATEN’s new essentials USB-C® charging cables ensure maximum power distribution. ATEN 2L-3101P240 (1m) and 2L-3102P240 (2m) feature a rugged, wear-resistant braided design, while the 2L-3101P240M (1m) incorporates a magnetic design for effortless desktop cable management.
