Features and Construction

This 5-in-1 USB-C hub integrates essential ports into a single device, reducing the need for multiple adapters. The aluminium alloy housing provides strength and a professional appearance.

Material and Build

The hub is constructed from aluminium alloy with a sandblasted and oxidised surface finish. This process gives the Space Gray colour a smooth, matte texture that resists fingerprints and scratches during daily use.

Port Layout and Functionality

The docking station includes one HDMI output, three USB 3.0 ports, and a Type-C PD input. The PD port supports up to 20V at 5A (100W max), allowing you to charge your laptop while using the other ports simultaneously. Standby current is under 400mA for low power consumption when idle.

Uses and Placement

This hub is designed for laptops, tablets, or any device with a USB-C port that supports video output and data transfer. It is especially useful for MacBook Pro and Air users who need to connect external monitors and USB peripherals.

Office and Professional Use

Connect an HDMI monitor to extend your display for presentations or multitasking. Use the USB 3.0 ports to attach a mouse, keyboard, or external storage drive without losing speed.

Home and Entertainment Use

Plug in a USB-C power source to charge your laptop while streaming video to a TV or projector via HDMI. The compact size fits easily on a bedside table or entertainment unit.

Benefits and Buying Value

This hub replaces the need for multiple separate adapters, saving desk space and simplifying your setup. Its aluminium alloy construction offers a balance of weight, strength, and heat dissipation.

Compatibility and Convenience

The 5-in-1 design covers the most common port needs for USB-C laptops: video output, data transfer, and power delivery. All ports are accessible from one compact unit.

Durable and Professional Appearance

The sandblasted aluminium alloy in Space Gray matches many laptop finishes and withstands regular handling. Without the bulk of a full-size dock, this hub is easy to slip into a laptop case.
