Belkin releases the thinnest and lightest Universal Power Adapter
Compton, CA – March 26, 2004 –/The Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- You can now power and charge your notebook on the plane, in your car, and in your hotel room using just one adapter. The Universal 120-Watt AC/DC Power Adapter from Belkin gives added flexibility to mobile professionals. The Adapter will begin shipping in North America on April 15, 2004...
Where competitors' adapters only support notebooks up to 70 watts, Belkin offers the only adapter that can support today's notebooks that require up to 120 watts. This is essential in that 77% of the notebooks sold today require more than 70 watts of power. The Belkin Adapter features Comarco's patented planar magnetic technology that allows for a smaller, lighter, and more powerful unit—making it up to 40% lighter and more compact than the standard power supply provided with your notebook.
Patented Intelli-Tip ™ connectors with integrated intelligence determine how much power to deliver to your notebook to prevent over-current and short-circuitry problems. Functioning in any standard AC wall outlet, car cigarette lighter, or airplane power port, the Adapter includes a five-piece set of Intelli-Tip connectors that work with most popular laptops. Additional connectors for other laptops, PDAs, digital cameras, cell phones, portable DVD players, MP3 players, and many more devices are available at
