This article covers Baseus HUB Metal Gleam Series 11-in-1 多機能 (Type-C to 3xUSB3.2.

Overview

The Baseus HUB Metal Gleam Series 11-in-1 Multi-Function Hub (model CAHUB-CT0G) transforms a single USB-C port into a full-fledged expansion station. It packs 11 ports including three USB-A 3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps), dual HDMI (up to 4K@30Hz each), VGA (full-HD@60Hz), PD 100W passthrough, Gigabit Ethernet, SD/microSD card readers, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The compact aluminum-alloy body dissipates heat efficiently and the space-gray finish complements both MacBooks and Windows ultrabooks.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The hub connects via a built-in USB-C cable (approx. 20cm) and works with any laptop or tablet that supports USB-C with Alt Mode and PD. Dual HDMI outputs each support up to 4K@30Hz, while the VGA port caps at 1080p@60Hz. When all three video ports are used simultaneously, total bandwidth sharing may limit each output to 1080p or lower—a common trade-off in this hub class. PD input accepts up to 100W (20V/5A), delivering approximately 85-90W to the host after internal overhead. The three USB-A ports run at USB 3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps), fast enough for external SSDs and flash drives. SD and microSD slots can read simultaneously (via one shared controller), so expect reduced speed when both are active.

Product Info

Released in late 2021, the Baseus Metal Gleam 11-in-1 sells for around 5,500-6,500 JPY on Japan. It sits in the mid-range segment, offering more ports than budget models while staying well below premium Thunderbolt docks. The warranty is 18 months (verify with seller). No power adapter is included—a USB-C PD charger must be purchased separately. The hub itself draws negligible power, but a 65W or higher PD adapter is recommended to cover both the hub and host charging.

Best Use Cases

Laptop users with limited USB-C ports — ideal for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, ThinkPad, Dell XPS, or any modern ultrabook. One cable connects dual monitors, wired LAN, peripherals, and charging. Remote workers and presenters — the VGA port is a lifesaver for older projectors and conference-room displays, while HDMI handles modern monitors. The hub effectively bridges legacy and current display standards. * Photographers and content creators — the dedicated SD and microSD slots simplify camera-to-laptop file transfers without an extra reader. Combined with fast USB ports for external drives, this hub builds a mobile editing station.
