• Comprehensive display options for flexible workstyles
  Dual video outputs let you extend or mirror your screen to an external monitor or projector. The HDMI port supports high-resolution output (up to 4K when supported by your host and display), while the VGA port offers reliable legacy display connectivity. Whether you’re delivering a polished presentation, coding with a larger canvas, or syncing a second screen for reference materials, this adapter keeps your workflow seamless without carrying multiple adapters.
• Powerful USB-C PD charging for uninterrupted productivity
  USB-C Power Delivery charging ensures your host device stays powered even while you run demanding applications. This feature is especially valuable during long meetings, while compiling code, or when streaming content—you can charge your laptop or USB-C device while using the multiport hub, reducing the need for a separate charger and keeping your desk tidy. The PD charging capability supports safe, efficient power delivery to your connected devices, helping you stay productive on the road or at the office.
• Fast, convenient USB-A data ports for peripherals
  Two USB-A ports provide reliable, high-speed data transfer for your mice, keyboards, flash drives, external SSDs, and other USB peripherals. With USB 3.0 performance, you’ll experience smooth data transfers, quick backups, and hassle-free file management—perfect for photographers moving RAW files, developers uploading code, or students transferring large datasets between devices.
• SD and microSD card slots for instant media transfers
  Integrated SD and microSD card readers make it effortless to import photos, scanned documents, or video assets directly into your device. This is ideal for photographers, videographers, and creators who need to offload media from cameras and memory cards fast, without needing a separate card reader. The two-card slot design helps you manage multiple media sources with ease during shoots or on location shoots.
• Reliable wired networking and a compact travel-ready footprint
  Gigabit Ethernet provides a stable, high-speed internet connection when Wi-Fi is spotty or unavailable—critical for video conferences, large file transfers, and online collaboration. The compact, all-metal enclosure reduces bulk in your bag while offering durable performance, making it a dependable travel companion for business trips, campus life, or remote work setups. The two detachable USB-C cables offer flexible mounting options—short cables for a clean desk setup or longer cables when you need to position the hub farther from your laptop for cooling and accessibility.
