This article covers SABRENT USB Cハブ 8-in-1 HDMI(4K)出力付き.

Overview

The SABRENT USB-C Hub 8-in-1 DS-UHCR is a versatile multi-port hub designed for laptops, tablets, and other USB-C devices. It expands a single USB-C port into eight useful connections, including HDMI 4K output at 30Hz, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 port, and dedicated SD/MicroSD card readers. The hub also supports Power Delivery (PD) pass-through, allowing you to charge the host device while using all other ports simultaneously. Built with a compact aluminum housing, this hub is both durable and portable. It works with a wide range of devices such as MacBook Air/Pro, iMac, Windows PCs, Chromebooks, tablets, and even PlayStation 5/4. Plug-and-play installation means no driver setup is required, making it accessible for all skill levels.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The DS-UHCR connects via a built-in USB-C cable to any device with a USB-C port. It is compatible with most USB-C laptops, tablets, and game consoles that support external displays and data transfer. The hub does not require external power for basic operation, but PD input can deliver up to 60W to the host if the host supports USB-C PD. Port breakdown: HDMI output: up to 3840×2160@30Hz (backward compatible with 1080p) 3× USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports (5 Gbps each) 1× USB 2.0 Type-A port (for low-speed peripherals) SD card slot + MicroSD card slot (supports simultaneous reading? Actually the hub reads one at a time typically, but both slots are available) * USB-C PD input (supports up to 60W charging) Note: The HDMI port only supports 30Hz refresh rate at 4K, so it is not suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors or fast-paced gaming. PD charging may not be sufficient for power-hungry laptops (e.g., some gaming laptops).

Product Info

The SABRENT DS-UHCR has been available since around 2018 and remains a popular choice due to its balance of features and price. Currently, it retails for approximately ¥3,999 on Japan. The product includes the hub with integrated USB-C cable and a user manual. The warranty is standard one-year coverage from the manufacturer. In the USB-C hub market, this model sits at the mid-range level, offering 8-in-1 functionality at an affordable price. It is not the fastest (USB 3.1 Gen 1, HDMI 4K@30Hz), but for most office, creative, and everyday tasks, it provides ample connectivity without breaking the bank.

Best Use Cases

This hub is ideal for: Office workers and students who need to connect an external monitor (HDMI) and peripherals (mouse, keyboard, USB drives) to a thin laptop. The PD pass-through keeps the laptop charged. Photographers and videographers who frequently transfer files from SD/MicroSD cards. The USB 3.0 ports ensure fast file transfers. * Travelers who want a single compact hub to replace multiple dongles. The aluminum build is durable for carry-on. However, if you need 4K@60Hz output, Thunderbolt 4 speeds, or high-wattage charging (100W+), consider a more advanced Thunderbolt dock. For typical productivity and media consumption, the DS-UHCR offers excellent value.
