UGREEN 80856 6-in-2 USB-C Hub for MacBook, 4K HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, 100 W PD

Overview

The UGREEN 80856 is a slim aluminium 6-in-2 hub shaped to sit flush against the side of a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, plugging into two adjacent USB-C ports at once. It gives the MacBook an HDMI output for a monitor or projector, a Thunderbolt 3 compatible USB-C port for charging or a second display, two USB 3.0 ports for drives and keyboards, and SD and TF card readers for camera and CCTV recorder cards.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a MacBook Pro from 2016 to 2020 or a MacBook Air from 2018 to 2020, including 13 and 15 inch models with two side-by-side USB-C ports.
• Not for a laptop with differently spaced ports or a single USB-C port: the hub needs two adjacent MacBook ports to fit.
• HDMI is limited to 4K at 30 Hz. For a higher refresh rate or resolution, a Thunderbolt display can use the Thunderbolt 3 port instead.
• Remove any protective laptop case before connecting, or the hub will not sit flush.

Key features

• HDMI output up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30 Hz.
• Thunderbolt 3 compatible USB-C port: up to 40 Gbps with Thunderbolt devices, 10 Gbps with USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices, up to 5K or 8K video and 100 W Power Delivery (PD) charging.
• Two USB 3.0 ports up to 5 Gbps.
• SD and TF card readers, usable at the same time, up to 100 MB/s.
• Aluminium case for heat dissipation; all ports work simultaneously.
• Dual USB-C plugs connect to two MacBook ports at once.

What else you need

A compatible MacBook (Pro 2016 to 2020 or Air 2018 to 2020). A USB-C charger for pass-through charging through the Thunderbolt 3 port, and an HDMI cable for a display.
