160W across 4 ports. One charger. Every device. Full speed.
⚡ Charge All My Devices — Buy NowWhat Is the UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W GaN Charger?
UGREEN Nexode Pro — 4-port GaN fast charger, Model CD373, available in KR Plug (shown) and EU Plug configurations
The UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W (Model: CD373) is a 4-port GaN wall charger from UGREEN — a brand established in 2012 and now trusted by over 100 million users globally across 100+ countries. The Nexode Pro is their flagship fast-charging lineup, designed to replace professional-grade multi-charger setups.
At its core, the charger uses GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology instead of traditional silicon components. GaN allows more power to be processed through a physically smaller component, meaning the Nexode Pro delivers 160W of total charging power in a package roughly the size of an Apple 96W charger — but with 4 ports instead of one.
The result is a charger that simultaneously powers a MacBook Pro 16" at up to 140W, a second laptop at up to 100W, a smartphone, and a tablet — all from a single wall outlet. No power strip needed. No compromise on charging speed.
GaNInfinity™ Technology — Why It Matters
GaNInfinity™ — UGREEN's proprietary GaN chip delivering reduced size, higher efficiency, and upgraded heat management
Standard silicon-based chargers waste energy as heat and require more physical space to manage it. GaN changes this equation fundamentally. Gallium Nitride is a semiconductor material that can switch electrical current at much higher frequencies than silicon, which means:
- Less heat generated — more of the input power becomes charging power, not waste heat
- Smaller physical size — same or higher wattage in a significantly smaller casing
- More efficient at high wattage — especially critical at 100W+ output levels where silicon chargers struggle
- Longer device longevity — cooler, more stable power delivery is gentler on battery chemistry over time
UGREEN's proprietary GaNInfinity™ chip takes standard GaN further, pairing it with SiC (Silicon Carbide) chips for enhanced safety and efficiency — this is what allows the Nexode Pro to safely run 160W total output without overheating under sustained load.
Key Features & Benefits
4 ports, all fast charging: 140W super power on USB-C1, PD3.1 higher charging speed, and enhanced safety from GaNInfinity™ and SiC chips
140W PD3.1 on USB-C1
The latest Power Delivery standard. Charges MacBook Pro 16" from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes — faster than Apple's own included charger.
4-Port All Fast Charge
USB-C1 (140W) + USB-C2 (100W) + USB-C3 (30W) + USB-A (22.5W). Every port is a fast-charging port — no slow ports hidden in the lineup.
Auto Power Distribution
Intelligent power allocation detects each connected device and distributes wattage optimally across all active ports simultaneously.
45W Samsung Super Fast 2.0
Charges Samsung S24 Ultra from 0-50% in just 19 minutes — 48% faster than the stock 15W charger Samsung ships in the box.
Universal Compatibility
PD3.1/3.0, PPS, QC4+(QC4.0/3.0), FCP, AFC, SCP — covers virtually every fast charging standard used by every major brand.
Thermal Guard™ Protection
UGREEN's proprietary safety system monitors temperature, voltage, and current 24/7. Auto shut-off if any parameter exceeds safe limits.
Travel Ready
Universal input 100–240V works in every country. Compact enough for a carry-on. One charger replaces 4 separate travel adapters.
Business Trip Partner
Charge two laptops simultaneously at a co-working space or hotel. Compact enough to sit in your laptop bag without adding bulk.
How Power Distribution Works
Auto Matching Power — intelligent wattage allocation across 1, 2, 3, or 4 active ports
Understanding how the 160W is distributed is important for getting maximum speed from every port. The Nexode Pro uses dynamic power allocation — meaning the wattage each port receives changes based on how many ports are active simultaneously.
Single Port Use (Maximum Speed)
USB-C1 only → 140W | USB-C2 only → 100W | USB-C3 only → 30W | USB-A only → 22.5W
When only one device is connected, that port receives its maximum possible output. For MacBook Pro 16" users, always use USB-C1 alone for the fastest 140W charge.
Two Ports Active
C1+C2 → 100W + 60W | C1+C3 → 100W + 30W | C1+A → 100W + 22.5W
Two laptops can charge simultaneously at 100W + 60W — still faster than most dedicated laptop chargers. MacBook Pro + another laptop, or MacBook + iPad Pro at full speed.
Three & Four Ports Active
C1+C2+C3 → 65W + 65W + 30W | All 4 → 65W + 65W + 15W + 15W
Even with all 4 ports active, every device still receives genuine fast charging. 65W on two USB-C ports simultaneously means both MacBooks still charge at respectable speeds.

Two laptops fast-charging simultaneously — perfect for co-working spaces, shared desks, and productivity setups
Up to 140W for MacBook Pro 16" — Faster Than Apple's Own Charger
USB-C1 delivers up to 140W via PD3.1 — full-speed charging for MacBook Pro 16" using a USB-C to MagSafe cable
PD3.1 (Power Delivery 3.1) is the latest USB charging standard, supporting up to 240W via USB-C. The Nexode Pro's USB-C1 port supports PD3.1 at up to 140W — which matches the maximum charging speed of the MacBook Pro 16" (M3/M4 series). To achieve 140W, you need a 240W-rated USB-C cable (not included but sold separately by UGREEN).
When using the standard Apple USB-C to MagSafe cable, USB-C1 still delivers the full 140W to MagSafe. The PD3.1 protocol negotiates the correct voltage and current automatically.

How to Use — Getting Maximum Speed
Select the Correct Plug Version
The KR plug version shown in this listing is for Korean outlets. If you're in Europe or Bangladesh, select the EU plug version at checkout. The EU plug is compatible with Type C sockets (220–240V) which covers most of Asia.
Use USB-C1 for Your Highest-Power Device
Always connect your laptop (MacBook Pro, Windows ultrabook) to USB-C1 for maximum 140W speed. This port has priority allocation in power distribution.
Use a 240W-Rated USB-C Cable for Full Speed
Standard USB-C cables are rated for 60W or 100W. To achieve 140W on USB-C1 or 100W on USB-C2, you need a 240W-rated USB-C cable (UGREEN sells these separately). Using the wrong cable caps your speed.
Connect Phones and Tablets to C2, C3, or USB-A
Phones typically need 27–45W maximum. Use C2 or C3 for phones and tablets to keep C1 reserved for laptop full-speed charging.
Keep the Charger Ventilated
Don't cover or pocket the charger during use. GaN chargers run warm under high load — ventilation keeps temperatures in the optimal range and maintains charging efficiency.
Use a Grounded Outlet
For maximum safety with high-power charging (100W+), use a properly grounded outlet. This is especially important when charging laptops at full 140W.
Tips for Best Charging Performance
- ⚡ Upgrade to a 240W USB-C cable — this single accessory unlocks full 140W on C1. Without it, you're capped at 100W regardless of the charger's capability.
- 💻 Charge your laptop first, then add devices — the charger negotiates maximum power for the first connected device, so laptop-first ensures best allocation.
- 🌡️ Don't pile things on top of the charger — GaN runs warm under 160W load. Airflow around the unit maintains efficiency and extends lifespan.
- 📱 Use USB-A for older QC3.0 devices — the USB-A port at 22.5W SCP is often the fastest charging available for older Huawei and budget Android phones.
- 🔌 Avoid extension cords for high-power charging — plug directly into a wall socket rated for the appropriate amperage to avoid voltage drops.
- 🧳 Check plug compatibility before traveling — the KR plug needs an adapter in most countries. EU plug users in South/Southeast Asia: carry a Type G adapter for UK-socket countries.
