Dual 4K Display Expansion for Maximum Productivity

Stretch your workspace across two ultra-high-definition screens with resolutions up to 4K 60Hz when connected to Windows or Chrome computers. The dual HDMI 2.0 ports eliminate the frustration of single-screen limitations, letting you arrange multiple applications side-by-side for enhanced multitasking. Mac users can extend to one 4K 60Hz display, with the second HDMI port providing mirrored output. Your host computer must support DisplayPort 1.4 and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) to achieve the full dual 4K 60Hz experience.

100W Pass-Through Charging with Intelligent Power Management

Keep your laptop powered while simultaneously charging your peripherals through the hub’s 100W USB-C Power Delivery pass-through. The system intelligently reserves 8-15W for the hub and connected devices, ensuring stable operation without compromising your laptop’s charging speed. Use your existing laptop USB-C charger—no additional power adapter needed—reducing cable clutter on your desk. The hub also functions in bus-powered mode when no power adapter is connected, offering flexibility for different usage scenarios.

Comprehensive Connectivity in a Travel-Ready Design

Despite packing eleven ports into a compact aluminum chassis, this hub maintains excellent portability. The rigid construction withstands daily commuting while keeping all ports easily accessible. Gigabit Ethernet provides reliable wired connectivity when Wi-Fi proves unreliable, while the 3.5mm audio jack handles both headphones and microphones. Three USB 3.0 Type-A ports plus two USB 3.0 Type-C ports accommodate everything from external drives to smartphones, with data transfer rates up to 5Gbps. The integrated SD and microSD card reader supports MMC, SDHC, SDXC, and their micro variants, perfect for photographers and content creators.
