Anker USB C Hub, 11-in-1 Docking Station Dual Monitor, 10 Gbps USB-C and USB-A Data Ports, 4K HDMI and DisplayPort, 85W Power Delivery, 2 Data Ports, Ethernet, for XPS

Works as intended, good value for the money and reasonably sized. I am currently running two 4K HDMI monitors on it without an issue. Ready to go out of the box and has a sturdy design, would recommend.

The device has worked well for me. However potential buyers should note that the 2nd USB C port is reserved for power input from a separately purchased power supply. So the device provides only a single USB C port for attaching devices. I use the device on power from my own computer. So undocking my computer requires some careful steps in the correct sequence: (1) eject all external drives; (2) power down the external display; (3) unplug Anker from computer; (4) remove power from the computer. The device comes at a great price, though, so excellent value. *REVISION* After four months of use, the HDMI port seemed to fail--the monitor was indicating that it was not connected. I wrote to Anker support and received a reply within two hours. The reply told me how to reset the docking station. It worked. Kudoes to Anker Support!

Compact and really expands your options. I was using one of the ports on the MacBook Pro M1 for a second display and the other for an external drive and then switching back and forth with the charger. This device does all that and only uses one of the ports. Plus there are multiple USB OLD STYLE still available. No external power appears to be necessary, although since I use the Mac power supply in the dedicated power in port I’d think there’d be no issue.

Update: Anker support contacted me and provided a new unit. On this one, the video works fine, both via HDMI and DisplayPort. I'm much happier now that the unit, which I do like, works properly. There is still one video-related quirk that can be annoying, though, if you often unplug the external monitor from the hub but leave the hub connected to the computer. When I unplug the external monitor from the hub, the hub doesn't tell the computer that the monitor is no longer connected (the same thing happened with the original faulty unit). Since the external monitor is my primary monitor when connected, this leads to an irritating set of steps ending up with disconnecting the hub. I reported this issue to Anker support and they forwarded it to their engineering group. Initial review: I like the form factor and the many connection options. They all work fine EXCEPT that the video (whether DisplayPort or HDMI) keeps dropping out. The computer (MacBook Pro M1 14" running MacOS 13.0.1) thinks the external monitor is there, but nothing shows on the screen for a few seconds, then it comes back on, then off again. Anker support says to try updating the firmware, but to do that requires a Windows computer with a USB-C port. I do not have access to such a machine, so I'm stuck. Since one of the primary reasons I want a hub is to handle the video, I have to return the unit. This is a real disappointment since I otherwise have been very happy with Anker products.

AMAZING!! I use my Samsung Z Fold with a Maono Podcast Soundboard for podcasting. Having the phone charge from the soundboard power passthrough was inadequate to keep the phone charged, and generated "noise" in the path. I got the Anker 565 USB-C hub, and routed the power and signal through the Anker hub. WOW!! My phone remains fully charged throughout the podcast, there is ZERO "noise" in the signal, and I can actually do more than ever expected! The quality of Anker products has been proven with me Over and Over with every single product I have purchased. From high-end 240w USB-C cords, to Power Banks, Power Blocks, Bluetooth Earbuds & Headphones, across the board; I have never been disappointed! I highly recommend Anker, and specifically the Anker 565 USB-C hub!!

UPDATE: Nope, it's just the hub. :( It's either defective or not a good product, which is unfortunate. The stutter issue has been resolved, but I can still not use the dock to push an image to my secondary monitor (1080p). I spent several hours this evening updating drivers for my Lenovo Thinkpad E15 Gen2 (AMD) without success. FYI: This laptop DOES support PD+DP through USB-C, something I confirmed before trying to go down the USB-C route in an attempt to replace my ancient Diamond USB-A dock. An image was never sent to my second monitor, whether connected via HDMI or DP through the hub. In all cases, the monitor IS recognized by Windows, so some information is being communicated, just not an image to the monitor. During every attempt, when the monitor was first plugged in, responsiveness in Windows would stutter, lag, and generally respond slowly to my KB+M inputs until, eventually, the laptop caught up and was OK. I am highly disappointed and am considering returning both products, but the USB-C dock is definitely returning. It would be nice, but I don't need a 100W charger. My hope of replacing my current USB-A dock is diminishing at the price point I was hoping for, so we shall see if it's up to the task of the new 2K monitor I have on the way and go from there. Original: Buyer be cautioned: The Anker 565 USB-C also needs power for itself, which is evident if you think about it, but it's not stated anywhere that I could find, and it may not dawn on you until things aren't working quite right. Lack of power could cause many issues I've read about in reviews. The issue: Mouse movement would stutter every 5-10 seconds. Though Windows recognized my HDMI monitor in Device Manager/Display settings, no image was sent to it through the Anker hub. Current theory: So, the manufacturer's 65W USB-C charger for my laptop cannot FULLY power the hub with one connected HDMI monitor, two USBs, and Ethernet through the USB-C hub. I did not test the two USB devices (Keyboard and headset) as there was little need once the stuttering began, which was immediate. I have an Anker Nano 100W arriving tomorrow, and I will update the review once I've re-tested. Suggestion: My ask to Anker would be to *estimate* the power draw of their dock and list it somewhere with many warnings, etc. If they wanted to go above and beyond and add averages for peripherals and the like, that would be amazing, but if not, I would understand, as I'm sure that information could become dated fast. A power warning would have prompted me to consider the power charging situation, and I may gone with one of their docks (About a $100 increase) instead. But now that I'm annoyed, I'll purchase a 100W charger that I can use for my work laptop and elsewhere as needed. :) They are still getting my money, but not as much. They make amazing products, but small details like this matter to me as a consumer.

I work from home and occasionally like to office out of a different area of the house, but I didn't want to tear down my entire main rig just to move to another room. I picked this up as a secondary docking station for a more casual monitor setup, and it works perfectly for my needs. Setup & Performance: I have this hooked up to my work laptop and two monitors via HDMI. One thing to keep in mind: you’ll need to provide your own USB-C cable and power brick to juice it up. Just make sure you’re using a high-quality charging block to ensure the dock gets consistent power for all your peripherals. The Value: Compared to the price of a name-brand Dell docking station, the value here is incredible. While the more expensive docks might offer a few extra bells and whistles, this is exactly what I needed without the hefty price tag. Pros: Simple Setup: Very straightforward to get running. Dual Monitor Support: Handles two HDMI monitors with no issues. Compact: Great for a secondary or portable "mini" workstation. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for an easy, inexpensive way to run dual monitors from your laptop in another part of the house, this is the way to go. Great performance for the price!

Excelente, el producto cumple con las expectativas lo aprobado con el celular con iPhone 15 y funciona espectacularmente bien, y también lo probé con un Samsung Galaxy S24 y la verdad es que ha funcionado de maravilla, siento que lo quiso en añadir esa parte de que el aparato funciona bastante bien con dispositivos. Obviamente si vas a conectar por ejemplo una interfaz de audio como la Focusrite debes tener en cuenta que es importante conectarle un cargador de al menos 30 a 60 W para que te funcione perfectamente y no se interrumpa, no se apague y se encienda la interfaz de audio y por lo demás los puertos excelente, el HDMI funciona bastante bien y lo demás puerto, excelente nada negativo que menciona de verdad que es un producto muy eficiente y muy útil.

Ik had één probleem: mijn laptop had te weinig poorten. Een bescheiden probleem. Een klein ongemak. Deze hub zei: "Zullen we meteen álles oplossen?" 🔌 Van laptop naar NASA-console Je plugt hem in… en ineens heb je 11 poorten. Elf. Dat is geen uitbreiding meer, dat is een machtsgreep. HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, USB’s, SD-kaarten… Ik mis alleen nog een knop om een raket te lanceren, maar eerlijk: die zit waarschijnlijk in een firmware-update. Volgens de specs krijg je: 10 Gbps data-poorten 4K beeld via HDMI/DisplayPort Ethernet kaartlezers en stroomdoorvoer tot ~100W () Met andere woorden: dit ding zegt tegen je laptop "Je bent meer dan je dacht." 🧠 Gebruikservaring: ik ben nu “die collega” Sinds ik deze hub heb: sluit ik dingen aan die ik niet eens nodig heb zeg ik zinnen als: “even via de hub” kijk ik licht bezorgd naar mensen die nog maar 2 poorten hebben Collega’s denken dat ik IT begrijp. Ik laat ze in die illusie. ⚙️ Bouwkwaliteit: solide als een baksteen (maar dan nuttig) Stevig aluminium, geen gekraak, geen drama. Dit voelt niet als een gadget — dit voelt als gereedschap. En belangrijk: alles werkt gewoon. Geen rare kuren, geen “probeer opnieuw”, geen existential crisis van je laptop. ⚖️ Kleine realiteit-check Het is geen Thunderbolt-dock van €300+, dus: sommige poorten delen bandbreedte niet alles kan tegelijk op maximale snelheid Maar eerlijk: als je dát niveau nodig hebt, zit je al in een andere prijsklasse en waarschijnlijk ook in een andere levensfase. Pluspunten: 11 poorten = absurd veel mogelijkheden 10 Gbps data en 4K display support Ethernet (voor mensen die wifi niet vertrouwen, zoals het hoort) Stevig en professioneel gebouwd Minpunten: – Je gaat dingen aansluiten “omdat het kan” – Je laptop voelt ineens tekortschieten zonder dit ding Conclusie: Dit is geen hub. Dit is een persoonlijke infrastructuur-upgrade. Je koopt hem voor meer poorten… maar je houdt hem omdat je ineens het gevoel hebt dat je je leven technisch onder controle hebt. En dat gevoel… is onbetaalbaar.

Fidèle au produits Anker ce hub usb-c fonctionne à merveille avec un MacBook Pro M1. Bonne qualité de fabrication en alu gris et câble de bonne section tressé. Il est assez gros par rapport à certains mais il y a tous les ports disponibles en 1 seul appareil Je recommande pour ceux qui utilise leur pc portable en mode bureau avec un écran externe

Fungerar bra

Ottimo per i vari collegamenti e trasmisdiibe dati.

On a MacBook Pro M4, not all devices connected via USB 3.2 port were discovered by the OS. (They are discovered with an older hub, and with direct dongle connection).
