Ports & connections

Tap a port to see what it’s for.

What the specs mean for you

Laptop charging through the hub

85W

Keeps MacBook Airs, 13-14" ultrabooks and most Windows laptops charged under normal use. A 16-inch MacBook Pro will charge slowly under heavy load.

Data speed

5 Gbps

About 400 MB/s: fine for flash drives, hard drives, keyboards and webcams, and a bottleneck for fast SSDs.

Display output

4K @ 60Hz

Smooth high-resolution output for a monitor or TV.

Total ports

Covers a typical desk setup: display, a few USB devices, cards or Ethernet.

Why people pick it

Two HDMI outputs from one USB-C port on Windows laptops that support MST
Gigabit Ethernet and card readers included
No driver needed (uses DP Alt Mode, not DisplayLink)

Know before you buy

Macs mirror the same image on both HDMI displays because macOS does not support MST

Anker notes no 4K@60Hz on hosts without DSC, such as Surface Pro 7 and HP Spectre x360
USB data limited to 5Gbps

Will it work with my device?

Works

Works with MacBook Air per the manufacturer, though it isn’t our top pick for it.

Base-chip MacBook Airs support one external display (two on newer models with the lid closed).
Macs mirror the same image on both HDMI displays because macOS does not support MST

Downloads & support

Drivers: No driver needed on Windows, macOS or ChromeOS; Anker lists no driver download. On macOS both HDMI ports show the same (mirrored) image because Macs don't support MST, so extended dual displays need Windows.
