CES 2017: Griffin Launches New BreakSafe Products and Innovations for Those Who Want a Smart Home

THE Griffin has just taken advantage of the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to launch new line cables Breaksafe, including those announced at last year's event.

What's new this time is: a BreakSafe cable with 100W USB-C connection, a BreakSafe USB adapter, a BreakSafe wall and car charger. All of these products have the MagSafe style, which allows them to be magnetically connected.

Last year, at CES 2016, we believe the BreakSafe USB-C Magnetic Power Cable stood out with its innovation and Type-C support. We are proud to continue this legacy by extending the BreakSafe experience to more audiences than USB-C. Now if users are on their laptops or on the go, they are assured of a magnetic cable breakaway on any device.

O BreakSafe Hi-Power Breakaway cable, ready to be used on new MacBooks Pro, is expected to arrive in the second quarter of the year, costing $ 40.

Griffin has all the ropes at CES and, in addition to the latest cable and adapter news, has announced a number of great products for those who want to build a smart home. Some examples of this are the Connected Coffeemaker ($ 100), a coffee maker that connects via Bluetooth to an application, and the Connected Toaster ($ 100), which has the same principle but, as the name implies, a toaster.

Ah! Do you remember a designer who came up with a “smart mirror” concept and we think it's all crazy? So Griffin doesn't know if I was already working on it or if it got into the wave also announced its own mirror, the Connected Mirror. Scheduled for release in late 2017, the mirror looks very beautiful and cost $ 1,000.
