USB C Hub, 8-in-1 USB C Docking Station with 90cm detachable Cable, 4K@60Hz HDMI, 1Gbps LAN, 100W PD, 2 USB 3.0 Data Ports, SD and microSD Card Reader, for MacBook Pro, XPS, Pixelbook and More

This is so great for all USBC laptops as it adds extra ports (enough for a keyboard and mouse as well). The HDMI connection is great!

I’ve been using this for over three months with iPad pro. Good build quality, does everything I need. Like most watched many reviews before purchase and I am pleased I bought it.

Great hub to allow me to connect my monitor, keyboard, mouse, network cable, etc to my work laptop with just a single usb-c cable. I do find sometimes that it can "crash" and laptop will lose connectivity with it. The solution is to remove the usb-c cable from laptop and the power cable to the hub to allow it to reset. Only happens from time to time, but would be better if it didn't occur in the first place.

This makes my iPad Pro more pro

Works a treat on my iPad Pro and iPhone 15PM

This is by far one of the best USB-C hubs I have used. All the ports works and the best thing is the detachable cable from the hub allowing flexibility with multiple devices. Totally recommended!

I have had this dock mounted on the side of my bed side unit, away from any physical damage or falls attached via velcro. I have only ever used the included cable and kept the rubber casing on it and yesterday I noticed the USB-C port has all its teeth mashed. It seems the included cable is too tight and has been bending all the pins and now I have an expensive brick. Would not recommend.

PROSTook a punt on this after trying the excellent UGREEN 9-in-1 which has better spec USB-A but went with is one for a few reasons* Detachable cable - can be used with a variety of cable lengths, don’t know why more hubs aren’t designed like this instead of the annoying short built in cable?! Would have been nice if they also included a shorter cable too.* Rubber cover - stops it sliding/scraping around on my desk (unlike the all metal UGREEN 9-in-1). Although rubber seems a bit excessively thicker on ends, but I’m splitting mm.* Portable - this hub does have only have 3 USB ports (compared to 4 higher spec on the UGREEN) but this is much smaller and would take this one the go.CONSThe only difference between the standard and pro version is the pro supports HDMI 4k @60Hz instead of 30Hz.* Slow USB-A - Unfortunately the ‘pro’ model still has one 480Mbps USB 2.0 port (USB 2.0 was launched over 20 years ago in 2000!), and the other two are 5Gbps 3.0 rather than 20Gbps 3.2. Annoyingly, the USB 2.0 is on the ‘back’ of the hub and would have preferred if there was a 3.0 front and back option or all the USB ports were at least 3.0 or even USBC. If you only use USB-A for low power devices like me then this might not be so much of a deal breaker.* Don’t confuse power supply with power delivery. There is a step down of around 10W or more in these type of hubs. On this one 100W in equals 90W out and 96W in with Apple charger equals around 87W out. Not really a con, just something to be aware of.CONCLUSIONNice design, detachable cable is a stand out feature but slow USB-A ports and no extra USB-C.

I purchased this hub after owning a very compact, on-body designed hub for my 2020 M1 13” MacBook Pro. It served me well for two years, but the main drawback was its inability to support 4K 60Hz on my display, offering only 1080p 120Hz. Despite multiple online searches, I couldn't find an affordable hub that met this requirement without risking breakage. I experimented with two different hubs, one falsely claiming 4K 60Hz support and another priced around $90 that still capped at 4K 30Hz, both of which I returned.Recently, I searched for the best USB-C hubs, specifically with a cable design instead of an on-body one. I stumbled upon a video by Jakob Haq on YouTube, where he reviewed the updated Uni Hub. His compelling reasons for why this hub was the best - featuring a replaceable high-data cable and 4K 60Hz support - convinced me to give it a try. I'd recommend watching his video, especially if you're a music producer with a portable setup like his.Upon ordering from Amazon, the Uni Hub arrived promptly, even without Prime. During the first day of use, all ports functioned flawlessly, including the USB 2.0 port at the back where I had my mouse's 2.4GHz USB receiver connected. However, after over a day of use, this specific port ceased to function or recognize any other accessories I connected to it. Fortunately, the 3.0 ports continued to work, though I was uncertain if they might eventually encounter issues.I contacted Uni support at this point, and they promptly acknowledged it as a unit defect. To my surprise, they sent me a replacement unit with exceptional customer service that was quick, friendly, and overall a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this hub, not only for its features but also for the outstanding customer service that goes along with it.The Uni Hub boasts a range of ports, including micro and standard SD card slots, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 gigabyte Ethernet port, and a USB-C (as far as I'm aware) power-only port. Its versatility and portability are commendable, and the removable cable addresses the concern of the hub becoming obsolete due to cable damage. Overall 10/10

Pros: This portable multi purpose usb-c hub (model Uni Pro Plus) connects external 4k screen, Gigabit ethernet, USB-A 3.0 (5gbps) and 2.0 ports, and sd card reader in a compact well built case. It has usb-c PD input at 100W, feeding power to every attached device, including Ipad Pro. Ipad connects via 10Gbit usb-c port. With a 65W power supply I haven’t run out of juice yet with every port connected. I’ve had zero issues with connecting class compliant usb audio and MIDI equipment. Hub is USB OTG ready. More than I can say of the many usb OTG adapters I’ve tried. It just works. If for some reason my audio interface isn’t recognized, (once a month), I just pull and reinsert the cable, and good to go. USB-A 3.0 ports at 5Gbit streams several hundreds of MB/s depending on ssd construction. (EDIT. OBS This is with self powered ssd. Bus powered ssd enclosure has problems with getting enough juice and behaves erratically. Beware of this shortcoming. Look below). Haven’t tested the HDMI at 4k/60Hz maximum, but my 2k screen automatically extends the iPads built in. It just works. (iPadOS 16/17). If Uni says 4k/60 is fine, I belive them. Support is fast and very helpful, and genuinely seems interested in helping the customer. Seems they are proud of their products. One of the best support I’ve come across. (Thanks Amrich). I also think the 65$ I paid is money well spent.Cons: No usb-c device port. Only usb-a. For those occasions I use a proven (otg) Graugear A to C adapter. The power fed through the 5gbps USB3 ports is only 5V 0.9A 4.5W. This is NOT enough for powering externel ssd or other storage enclosures. Enclosures has to be self powered to work as expected. This should have been pointed out in the overview of the hub. The very efficient bus powered nvme ssd and enclosure I bought (around 5W total) didn’t work. This seems to be the case with all budget usb-c hubs. Way to weak power feed out of bus powered usbA ports. Not just this Uni Pro Plus. So expanding iPad with external usb storage is definitely not easy even in iPadOS 17. I had to complement a OWC Thunderbolt hub to get my setup running fine. (Look for my coming review on the owc, when testing is done).The only other flaw I know of is the usb-c dataport going to iPad is a bit flaky. It’s a shame the fit is not completely tight with certain usb-c cable connectors. The high quality, thick 90cm cable that’s in the box fits fine. If you buy one, Uni is a bit discerning about wich cables to use. As long as the usb-c connector entering the hub is the same size as Unis provided, all is fine if you ask me. At least 20gbps transfer rate. The plug shall fit tightly the hole in the rubber case that’s around the hub case. Then it doesn’t wiggle so easily. During a performance this could be a problem. A pity uni usb-c port isn’t as tight as the iPads. If it had been, I would have given it 5 stars. Now 4.5 is more to the point.Edit NOTE: You can’t daisy chain devices to Uni 8-1 that has to communicate directly with the host. For instance another Uni 8-1 or other hub that has connected devices to it. It can’t pass through buspower or talk to “host like” devices. Traffic gets intermittent or just stops working. I had to solve my setup issues with a proven daisy chain Thunderbolt4 hub from OWC. That solved all issues I had with other hubs. See my other review on the OWC TB4.

The build quality, number of ports and speeds are excellent but what really sets this one apart froM the competition is the completely detachable cable. This way you can replace it by a better one and have different lengths for different situation. On the road I have a very short cable, in the office a long one that I simply leave there. I cannot recommend this hub enough! PLEASE NOTE: make sure to get the newer Pro version, especially if you have a hi res monitor attached.

Très bon produit, efficace fiable et robuste.Je l’ai utilisé sur un MacBook Pro puissant, avec presque la totalité des pots utilisés en simultané, et ça fonctionne parfaitement !Attention à bien mettre votre chargeur de MacBook en usb C directement via le Hub afin qu’il ait tout la puissance nécessaire pour fonctionner.

miglior hub mai utilizzato. Solido e funzionale
