Overview
The Belkin Connect USB-C 7-in-1 Hub adds seven essential expansion ports to any USB-C laptop or tablet. It connects via a single USB-C cable and provides HDMI output, USB-A and USB-C data ports, SD/microSD card slots, and Gigabit Ethernet — all in a compact, travel-friendly design.
Key Features
- Single USB-C host connection — connects to your laptop and handles data, video, and power delivery.
- HDMI 4K@30Hz output — connect an external monitor up to 4K resolution (30Hz) for presentations or extended desktops.
- Two USB-A 5Gbps ports — fast data transfers for drives, mice, or keyboards.
- One USB-C data port (5Gbps) — for additional USB-C devices.
- SD and microSD card slots (UHS-I) — read camera memory cards directly.
- Gigabit Ethernet port — stable wired network connection.
- Compact and portable — easily slips into a laptop bag.
Compatibility
Works with any USB-C laptop (Windows, Mac, Chromebook) that supports USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output. Thunderbolt 3/4 ports are also fully compatible. The hub is bus-powered, so no external power adapter is needed. However, ensure your host device can supply enough power for connected peripherals.
Ideal Use Cases
- Traveling professionals who need to connect to hotel TVs via HDMI for presentations.
- Desk workers wanting to attach Ethernet, an external SSD, and an SD card simultaneously.
- Tablet users who want to connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor for a desktop-like experience.
Important Notes
If you connect high-power devices (like a 2.5-inch external hard drive), the hub may not deliver enough power over the bus. For 4K at 60Hz output, look for a hub or dock with HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort support. This hub supports only 4K@30Hz via HDMI.
