Overview

The Cable Matters Multi-Function USB-C Hub with Integrated Cable is a compact adapter that adds DisplayPort video output and two USB-A ports plus one USB-C data port to any USB-C device. It supports up to 8K 60Hz or 4K 144Hz via DisplayPort 1.4, making it suitable for high-resolution media creation and high-refresh-rate gaming. The built-in foldable USB-C cable keeps the hub tidy when traveling, and the pass-through USB-C port delivers up to 100W Power Delivery to keep your laptop charged.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This hub works with any device that has a USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode, including Thunderbolt 4/3, USB4, and standard USB-C (e.g., MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Dell XPS, Surface Pro, Steam Deck). The DisplayPort output supports HDR and is backward compatible with lower resolutions. The two USB-A ports and the one USB-C port operate at USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps), ideal for mice, keyboards, wireless adapters, and printers. The USB-C data port also supports up to 100W PD pass-through charging when used with a compatible USB-C charger.

Product Info

Priced around ¥1,900 on Japan, the Cable Matters USB-C Hub sits in the entry-level segment for multi-port adapters. It offers excellent value for a device that combines DisplayPort video output with USB expansion. No separate power adapter is required — the hub is bus-powered or can draw power through the PD pass-through. Warranty details are provided in the box. Accessories: hub only.

Best Use Cases

Mobile professionals needing a second display: Easily connect a DisplayPort monitor to a USB-C laptop while keeping a mouse and keyboard attached. Not suitable for high-speed external drives due to USB 2.0 limitations. Gamers using a laptop: Enjoy high-refresh-rate gaming on an external 4K 144Hz monitor via DisplayPort. The USB ports can handle gaming peripherals (mouse, headset dongle) without issue, but avoid using it for game storage drives. * Budget-conscious users seeking port expansion: Instead of buying a separate DisplayPort adapter and a USB hub, this single device covers both needs at a low price. However, if you need USB 3.0 speeds or multiple video outputs, consider a higher-tier hub.
