Anker USB‑C Hub 5‑in‑1 — 4K HDMI, 100W PD‑IN with 85W Passthrough, USB‑A & USB‑C Data

The Anker 5-in-1 USB-C Hub expands a single USB‑C port into HDMI (4K), high-speed USB‑C and USB‑A data ports, plus a 100W PD-IN port while supporting up to 85W pass-through charging.

Compact and robust, this Anker USB‑C hub is designed to turn one laptop or tablet USB‑C connection into a practical workstation: drive an external 4K monitor, attach high-speed storage, plug in legacy USB accessories, and supply power to your device simultaneously. It supports USB‑C, USB4, and Thunderbolt host connections and provides fast data transfer alongside a dedicated charging input. Note that the PD-IN port is for power only and the USB‑C data port does not carry video.

How does the hub handle external displays and video?

You can mirror or extend your screen to an external monitor using the HDMI port at resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz. The hub leverages the host device's DP Alt Mode for video output, so video capability depends on your laptop or tablet supporting that feature.

• Single HDMI output supporting up to 4K@30Hz
• Works as mirror or extended display when host supports DP Alt Mode
• USB‑C data port does not carry video—use HDMI for external monitors
• Compatible with macOS, Windows, and ChromeOS devices with video support

What are the charging and power limits I should expect?

The hub includes a USB‑C 100W PD-IN port that accepts a power adapter to charge your laptop through the hub, with pass-through capable of delivering up to 85W to the connected host. To reach top charging speeds for power-hungry devices, pair the hub with an appropriately rated external charger (not included).

• PD‑IN port accepts up to 100W input for charging the hub
• Up to 85W pass-through power to your laptop (requires separate charger)
• For full iPad charging performance, a 45W wall adapter is recommended
• Charger and cable quality affect achievable power delivery

How fast are data transfers and what ports are available?

Both the USB‑C 5 Gbps data port and the two USB‑A 5 Gbps ports support quick file transfers to and from external drives and accessories. These ports are ideal for fast external SSDs, flash drives, keyboards, mice, or other USB peripherals while staying within the hub's bandwidth limits.

• One USB‑C data port at 5 Gbps (no video output)
• Two USB‑A ports at 5 Gbps each for accessories and storage
• Perfect for transferring large files, backing up media, or connecting peripherals
• Bandwidth shared among ports—performance varies with simultaneous use

Which devices and operating systems is the hub compatible with?

The Anker 5‑in‑1 hub supports a wide range of modern USB‑C, USB4, and Thunderbolt hosts running macOS (12+), Windows 10/11, and ChromeOS. It requires a host that supports DP Alt Mode for HDMI output and is not compatible with Linux.

• Compatible with MacBook (macOS 12 and newer), Windows 10/11, ChromeOS
• Works with laptops that support DP Alt Mode and Power Delivery
• Supports USB‑C, USB4, and Thunderbolt host ports
• Not supported on Linux-based systems

Who this is for: If you need a small, dependable hub to add an external 4K display, high-speed data ports, and reliable passthrough charging to a modern laptop or tablet, the Anker 5‑in‑1 USB‑C Hub is built for students, remote workers, content creators, and travelers who want a minimal, multiport solution. It’s particularly useful when you want a single compact accessory to replace multiple adapters while keeping a neat workspace. Remember to bring a compatible power adapter if you plan to use pass-through charging at higher wattages.
