A recent leak on the r/Anker subreddit has shared information about a new 5-in-1 USB-C Hub (Model A8357) that Anker is set to release. This updated hub features a USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-A port, offering transfer speeds of up to 5Gb/s. In addition, it has two USB 2.0 USB-A ports that can handle speeds of 480Mb/s. For those looking to connect to a display, the hub comes with an HDMI 1.4 port capable of supporting 4K resolution at 30Hz. There’s also a 100W USB-C input that provides 90W of power to connected devices.
Enhanced Connectivity Options
This new hub expands on Anker's previous 321 PowerExpand 3-in-1 USB-C PD Hub, which is priced at $21.99 on Amazon, by adding two extra USB 2.0 ports. This enhancement makes it a great option for users who require a variety of connections for peripherals, charging devices, or linking to an external monitor. Recently, Xiaomi also launched a 4-in-1 USB-C and USB-A splitter, which is worth checking out as well.
Availability and Pricing
As for pricing and when the 5-in-1 USB-C Hub will hit the market, those details are still not confirmed, but it’s anticipated to be released in the near future.
