Overview
The Plugable USB-C Hub 7-in-1 is a compact hub that expands a single USB-C port into seven different ports. It is ideal for those who want to declutter their desk or supplement the limited ports on their laptop. It combines USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, SD card reader, and more into one device.
Key Features
- One USB-C input expands to three USB-A 3.0 ports, one USB-C PD port, one HDMI port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, and one SD/microSD card reader.
- Supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, allowing fast file transfers with external SSDs or large files.
- HDMI output supports 4K at 30Hz, perfect for connecting an external monitor or projector.
- USB-C PD port supports pass-through charging up to 100W, keeping your laptop powered while using the hub.
- Gigabit Ethernet port provides a stable wired network connection.
Connectivity & Compatibility Guide
- Compatible operating systems: Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, Linux (many features work without drivers).
- HDMI output requires a host device that supports USB-C Alternate Mode. Check your laptop's specifications.
- USB-C PD charging requires the host device to support USB Power Delivery. While the hub supports up to 100W, actual charging speed depends on the host.
- SD/microSD card reader is UHS-I compatible, with transfer speeds up to 104 MB/s.
Ideal Usage
- For laptop users who need to connect an external monitor, mouse, keyboard, and external storage simultaneously.
- For those who want a clean desk setup with a single USB-C cable connecting all peripherals.
- For travelers or remote workers who need a compact, portable hub.
Notes
- HDMI output is limited to 4K at 30Hz. If you need 60Hz output, consider a hub with HDMI 2.0 support.
- The hub is bus-powered, but if you connect multiple power-hungry devices, we recommend using a USB-C PD power adapter.
