The Anker USB-C Hub (5-in-1, 4K HDMI) has been released in the US market. This model was first mentioned by the trusted source u/joshuadwx on Reddit back in October, who shared various information about the product and labeled it as "not impressive."
Ports and Performance
This USB-C Hub features five different ports: HDMI, two USB-A 2.0 ports, one USB-A 3.0 port, and a PD-IN. It can handle a display resolution of 4K at 30Hz through its HDMI port. The USB-A 2.0 ports provide a data transfer speed of 480 Mbps, ideal for devices like mice or keyboards, while the USB-A 3.0 port offers a faster 5 Gbps rate, suitable for connecting SSDs or hard drives. Anker specifies that the 100W USB-C PD input is strictly for charging purposes and does not allow for data transfer or video output. Additionally, the hub includes a 9.8-inch (~25.0 cm) USB-C cable for connecting to laptops, which also supports a 90W pass-through charging output.
Compact Design and Warranty
This device is quite portable, with dimensions of 4.72 x 1.18 x 0.46 inches (~120 x 30 x 11.6 mm), and it comes with an 18-month warranty for peace of mind. You can purchase the Anker USB-C Hub (5-in-1, 4K HDMI) from Amazon US for a price of $17.99. It remains uncertain if or when this accessory will be available in other regions such as Europe.
