What the specs mean for you

Charger to use

20W

For full-speed charging, use a USB-C Power Delivery charger rated 20W or more and a cable rated for at least 60W. A bigger charger is safe: the device only draws what it needs.

USB ports

1

1x USB-C (USB 3, up to 10Gb/s)

Data speed

10 Gbps

About 900 MB/s in practice, full speed for most portable SSDs.

Display output

4K @ 60Hz

Smooth high-resolution output for a monitor or TV.

Two monitors on a Mac

Mirrored

macOS can’t extend two screens through this kind of hub (MST). Both monitors show the same image on a Mac; Windows can extend them.

Total ports

1

Compact: the essentials for travel or a light setup.

Why people pick it
