Satechi has announced a new multiport hub that looks like a hockey puck and is designed to attach to smartphones and laptops using a ring of magnets, but it’s not a wireless charger. The OntheGo 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter features seven ports in total and connects to devices using a short integrated USB-C cable that wraps around the hub when not in use. It’s available starting today from Satechi’s online store for $59.99 in a space black finish.

The adapter includes a 4K/60Hz HDMI port, SD and microSD card readers supporting cards with up to 2TB capacities, a gigabit ethernet port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a USB-C port with up to 100W of passthrough power delivery so you can still charge and power devices the adapter’s connected to.

The magnets allow the adapter to stick to the back of smartphones that support the Qi2 wireless charging standard including MagSafe-compatible iPhones and Google’s Pixel 10 Series with Pixelsnap. If you want to mount it to devices that don’t support wireless charging or aren’t Qi2-compatible, like your laptop or older smartphones, Satechi includes an adhesive ring of magnets you can stick to any surface.
