The hub offers an 18-month warranty, and it even ships with a carrying pouch.

Cord length is about 8.5 inches, above the standard 6-inch length.Īnker’s hub was among the fastest we tested to deliver data under load, including simultaneous data transfer between USB-A ports while the SD ports were active. Ethernet is excluded, however, so you’ll need to use Wi-Fi instead. (The charger allows up to 100W in, but supplies 85W.) An HDMI port allows for 4K/30Hz video or 1080p/60Hz video to a single external display, standard for the category. There’s also a 5Gbps USB-C connection for data, plus a second USB-C port for power input at up to 85W rated. Overall, Anker’s hub is well designed, with adequate spacing between the two 5Gbps USB-A ports.

Anker’s hub was among the coolest we’ve tested under load, at about 87 degrees. It’s also a bit more expensive than its rivals. Anker’s 7-in-1 USB-C hub feels surprisingly weighty (3.5 ounces), with a premium metallic (aluminum and polycarbonate) sheen. Can a USB-C hub feel elegant? This one does.
