This article covers Satechi イーサネット USB-C Proハブ (スペースグレイ) 4K HDMI.
Overview
The Satechi Ethernet USB-C Pro Hub is a purpose-built USB-C hub designed exclusively for MacBook Pro (2016 and later) and MacBook Air (2018 and later). Its space gray aluminum finish matches the MacBook aesthetic perfectly, making it a seamless addition to your setup. With this single hub, you gain 4K HDMI output (30Hz), gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports, a microSD/SD card slot, and pass-through Power Delivery charging up to 87W. Whether you're at a desk or on the go, it solves the port limitation of modern MacBooks in one compact package.
Connectivity & Compatibility
Host connection: USB-C (USB 3.0 compliant). Compatible with MacBook Pro 2016+ and MacBook Air 2018+. HDMI port supports 4K at 30Hz. Note: dual-display output is not supported on Apple M1/M2 Macs. Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Mbps) provides stable wired networking when Wi-Fi is unreliable. Two USB 3.0 ports for external drives, mice, or other peripherals. * microSD/SD card slot for quick camera media transfers.
Product Info
Release: ~2018 (long-selling model) Price: Approximately ¥14,646 on Warranty: 18 months by Satechi Japan Accessories: Hub unit only (online manual) * Colors: Space Gray (reviewed), Silver, Gold Market positioning: This is a mid-range, MacBook-dedicated USB-C hub. It stands out from generic hubs with its design cohesion and reliable pass-through charging, earning a loyal following among Mac users.
Best Use Cases
MacBook users suffering from port shortage: With only one or two USB-C ports on modern MacBooks, connecting an external monitor and charging simultaneously leaves no room for other devices. This hub lets you use HDMI output, PD charging, USB peripherals, and a memory card all at once. Workers in unstable Wi-Fi environments: The built-in gigabit Ethernet port ensures a stable connection in hotels, cafes, or conference rooms where Wi-Fi is weak. * Minimalist desk setups: A single USB-C cable handles charging, video output, and data transfer, reducing cable clutter.
Things to Consider
M1/M2 Macs do not support dual-display output via this hub. If you need multiple external monitors, consider a Thunderbolt 4 dock instead. HDMI output is limited to 4K at 30Hz. Not ideal for gaming or video editing requiring 60Hz. Pass-through PD charging maxes out at 87W. The MacBook Pro 16-inch (140W model) may charge slower. The hub attaches directly to the MacBook with a short cable, so it must sit close to the laptop on your desk. * Some units ship with black USB ports instead of blue, but the specification remains USB 3.0.
