Sleek, Reliable, and Universally Compatible
Housed in durable aluminum for better heat dissipation, the hub maintains a cool and stable operation. Its plug-and-play design works instantly with Mac OS, Windows, and Chrome OS laptops that have a USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode. Whether you’re presenting in a boardroom or working from home, this hub delivers reliable performance in a pocket-sized form factor.

10 FAQs:

1. Can I use both the HDMI and VGA ports at the same time?
Yes, absolutely. You can connect two monitors simultaneously—one to HDMI and one to VGA—to extend or duplicate your desktop, significantly boosting your screen real estate.

2. What is MST and how do I use three screens?
MST (Multi-Stream Transport) allows you to connect multiple monitors in a daisy chain from a single video output. To use three screens, you would connect one monitor to the hub’s HDMI, and that monitor would need an output port (like DisplayPort) to connect to a second monitor. Note: MST is not supported on macOS.

3. Will the 100W PD port charge my MacBook Pro?
Yes, 100W PD is sufficient to charge and power most 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models at full speed while you use the hub. Ensure you use a compatible 100W USB-C charger.

4. Does it work with a laptop that has only one USB-C port?
Yes, that’s its primary design. It consolidates video, data, and charging into a single connection, making it perfect for modern laptops with limited ports. You’ll need a separate 100W UGREEN charger for the PD input.

5. Is the USB-A port fast enough for data transfer?
The USB-A port is USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), which is suitable for connecting peripherals like a keyboard, mouse, or webcam, and for occasional file transfers from flash drives. For high-speed external SSDs, a hub with USB 3.0 is recommended.

6. Does it support 4K@60Hz on Mac computers?
Yes, the HDMI port supports 4K@60Hz on compatible MacBooks (2018 and later with a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port). However, MacOS does not support the MST feature for dual independent displays from this hub.

7. Do I need to install any drivers?
No, it is plug-and-play for basic functions. For advanced display configurations like MST on Windows, your laptop’s graphics drivers should be up to date, but no specific hub drivers are required.

8. Can I use it with a gaming console or smartphone?
It is designed for computers with a USB-C port that supports video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode). It will not work with smartphones, gaming consoles, or standard USB-A ports.

9. Why is there no Ethernet port on this hub?
This is a lite version focused on display expansion and charging. For a hub that includes Ethernet, more USB ports, and card readers, you would need to look at a more comprehensive UNITEK docking station.

10. What is the warranty period for this product?
UNITEK provides a standard warranty. For exact terms and to register your product, please refer to the included documentation or visit the UNITEK Pakistan website.
