About this deal

There's another piece of jargon for your lexicon, Thunderbolt 3. This is essentially a series of capabilities and features such as guaranteed fast speeds, that work with Thunderbolt 3-enabled USB-C ports. So, as well as some decent cables with various connection options, this roundup includes adaptors to make your cables more versatile. A USB-C hub adapter connects to a USB-C port, allowing multiple devices to connect for the purposes of data transfer, charging, and audio/video output. USB-C ports are faster and more powerful than traditional USB-A ports, though they are not quite as fast as Thunderbolt 3.0 ports. Due to the power input limitations of mobile devices, this hub can not provide pass-through charging to tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones when using the original wall charger that came with your mobile device. To support full-speed charging for iPad Pro, use an adapter that supports at least 15V (45W). Supports up to 100W (minus 15W for operation) pass-through charging so you can power up a 15” MacBook Pro at full speed—all while accessing the hub’s other functions. (Charger not included).

Transfer movies, photos, and music at speeds up to 10 Gbps via the USB-C data port and dual USB-A ports.For a stable connection, avoid connecting devices that exceed a total of 900 mA. Devices are usually rated as follows: Turn your device’s USB-C port into 8 ports, allowing you to transfer data in seconds, stream media in unrivaled clarity, and provide high-speed pass-through charging. With this USB-C hub, you can connect to the internet instantly and enjoy stable connection speeds of up to 1 Gbps.

The first thing to consider when getting a USB-C hub is the port selection. While outlets for USB-A, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet cables are fairly common, they may be absent from some options. Even when present, they vary in number. If you use USB-C more, you might want to prioritize an adapter with multiple ports. The same applies if you wish to connect more USB-A or HDMI-supported devices.The USB-C connector is now becoming widespread, which makes the cables you need to take with you that bit simpler. Please note though, that Apple iPhone and iPad devices still use the company's dedicated Lightning connector even though its laptops are moving to USB-C.

Most USB-C hubs connect to your laptop or computer via cable. Some, however, are designed to plug directly into your USB-C port so that the adapter sits flush against your laptop. This can be a space-saving convenience, but it may also make the adapter more likely to heat up. Power delivery Most options support up to 100W of power, which should be more than enough for most laptops, including MacBooks and Chromebooks. However, if you own a 2021 MacBook Pro or 2022 MacBook Air, you won't be able to take advantage of the 140W fast charging support. It's also worth noting that some hubs max out at lower values---87W, for example.

SD card readers let you transfer data to and from SD memory cards. These can be found in standard and micro sizes in USB-C hubs. Once you've decided on the types and numbers of ports you'd like on your hub, you need to look at the capabilities of each port. Starting with USB ports, you need to confirm the speed you're getting, usually measured in gigabits per second (Gbps) or megabytes/gigabytes per second (MBps/GBps). If your computer has Thunderbolt 3.0 ports (as most Macbooks do), you should consider a Thunderbolt hub to get the most out of your machine. ​​​​​​​ USB-C hub adapter features Portability Thunderbolt 3.0 ports are a type of USB-C port that offer speeds of up to 40Gbs. These ports are compatible with USB-C cables and devices but reach their top speeds when connected to Thunderbolt 3.0 cables and devices. VGA ports allow you to connect to an older monitor. These are rarely included in hubs with multiple ports and are typically sold as adapter dongles.
