Description
The PX UCP-100CB 100W GaN Fast Charging Set represents a significant leap in power density and efficiency. By utilizing Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, this charger delivers 100W of total output in a frame that is roughly 30% smaller than traditional silicon-based power bricks. It features four versatile ports—three USB-C and one USB-A—allowing users to charge a MacBook Pro, an iPad, and an iPhone at the same time without sacrificing speed. The inclusion of a high-spec 40Gbps cable ensures that data transfer and power delivery are never bottlenecked.
This product is for:
- Digital Nomads: Those who need a single, compact hub to power their entire mobile office from a single wall outlet.
- Creative Professionals: Photographers and videographers requiring fast 100W delivery for high-end laptops and rapid data transfer via the included 40Gbps cable.
- International Travelers: Users who benefit from the 100-240V universal voltage support and the space-saving foldable plug design.
- Tech Enthusiasts: Early adopters looking for the latest GaN efficiency and future-proof 240W/8K video-capable cabling.
- Multi-Device Users: Families or individuals who need to consolidate multiple chargers into one organized 4-port station.

Using the PX UCP-100CB transforms the daily charging routine from a cluttered mess of cables into a streamlined experience. The foldable prongs click satisfyingly into place, making it snag-free when tossed into a laptop bag. In real-world testing, the C1 port consistently maintains high wattage for power-hungry laptops, while the intelligent power distribution manages the load across secondary devices effectively. The included cable is a standout addition; its heavy-duty build quality and 40Gbps rating make it suitable for high-speed external SSDs and 8K displays, adding immense value to the bundle.
Compared to standard 61W or 96W single-port laptop chargers, the PX UCP-100CB offers significantly more versatility without increasing physical volume. While many competitors sell the 100W brick alone, PX includes a high-tier 240W/40Gbps cable that typically costs a premium when purchased separately. Its 4-port configuration provides a better balance for multi-device users than the dual-port GaN chargers often found in this price bracket, ensuring that legacy USB-A devices are not left behind.
Q&A:
- Can this charger power a MacBook Pro 16-inch? Yes, the C1 and C2 ports support up to 100W output, which is sufficient for fast-charging a MacBook Pro 16-inch and other high-performance laptops.
- Does it support international voltages? Yes, it features a universal 100-240V input, making it compatible with power grids worldwide when used with the appropriate plug adapter.
