Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Do the USB-C ports support media display?
Media display is only supported via the HDMI port. This hub does not support media display via the USB-C ports, including when using a USB-C to HDMI cable, or USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
2. Does the USB-C PD port support charging tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones?
No, due to the power input limitations of mobile devices, this hub is not suitable for pass-through charging tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones. Also, only the USB-C PD port supports charging. The USB-A ports and USB-C data port do not support charging.
3. What charging speed does this hub support?

Great quality product! I used their Anker USB-C 100W Charger, it charges my laptop and all hub functions works fast. It has a travel pouch to protect the hub during travel, the build fees solid. Happy purchase.
This hub works as advertised – it provides HDMI, USB-C and B connectivity along with SD card slots. It doesn’t get particularly hot and comes with a nice little bag to put it in. Cheers
Much like all my other Anker reviews, it’s fantastic quality and works as intended.
Rarely any faults with Anker products and on the odd occasion there has been (I’ve bought a lot over the years) they were extremely quick to reach out and replace.
It’s a well, solid piece of kit. Exactly what you’d expect from Anker.
Came with a lovely little pouch to put it all in when in my bag. Ticks all the boxes for me.
Only not 5* as it doesn’t have an ethernet port.
For an relatively affordable hub it’s pretty good. So far it’s been working fine, but you always take a risk with these devices at this price point. I just wish you could get it with a removable cable, as that’s almost always the point of failure.
I was looking for a means to use Dex on my Samsung S22 whilst away on continental trips on my motorcycle. Using this device, a small Bluetooth keyboard and mouse I can effectively replace my laptop taking up very little precious luggage space. Using hotel TVs and an HDMI cable along with the charger, that I take anyway, I’m set for both emergency work tasks as well as route planning, restaurant and hotel booking etc.
I did try an unknown brand first but that had to be returned as it didn’t work satisfactorily. No issues with the Anker though, seems rock solid. I wasn’t expecting power from the USB 3 and USB-C ports having read the description on Amazon. However, these are capable of powering USB devices such as a portable screen. Maybe it’s just that these ports are not capable of high power charging, just std. USB power, unlike the main USB-C flylead on the device which can provide the full input minus 15W?
One of the two cheaper ones I bought had an issue I ascribed to being a bit temperamental, and something I could live with. With this hub the problem is gone. Namely: my display settings don’t go nuts if I unplug the power source from the hub, when in use. (I have a 2nd external monitor).
The second hub had 2 other issues, like distorted display on my external display, after waking from sleep. However, that might have been due to a faulty hub. Maaaybe
So far this one works perfectly without any glitches on MBP, or the problems I’ve already mentioned with other brands. I won’t name them here, because I don’t want a hex put on me!
The only thing that’s missing is the ability to charge my iPad via one of the USB ports. Hence, 1 star less from awesome.
Does what it says on the tin. Bit of overkill for what I wanted, but I wanted to pay a bit more for something that was hopefully more robust than its predecessor.
Comes with a nice small grey carrying case which is a nice touch.
This dongle/adapter has:
1x HDMI
1x USB-C (for data only)
1x USB-C (for power only)
2x USB-A
1x SD card port
1x Micro SD card port
This device is worth every penny. It works with all my peripherals. As a semi professional photographer, this dongle is quite welcome in order to deal with transferring files from camera to hard drives and SSDs.
To truly test it, I pushed it to its limit.
I connected an HDMI cable to connect it to my external display, used the USB-C power port to charge the laptop (yes, the 2022 M2 Air can charge via USB-C as well as MagSafe), connected one memory stick and my hard drive to the USB-A ports, another memory stick to the USB-C data port, and both an SD card and Micro SD card into their respective ports.
They worked fine. No hiccups, no stuttering. It just works.
In my opinion, this is essential for 2022 M2 Air owners, given the limited port selection built into the body. I got this on sale but I still would’ve bought it due to its sheer versatility.
To sum it up: this works and works well. If you have limited ports on your computer or iPad, buy it. Don’t even hesitate.
Quality products from a brand I trust.
I am using this to connect my 13″ Mac Book Air (2022 – M2) to my very old. 2006 Apple Cinema display. That already has an apple adapter from DVI to HDMI.
I use one of the USB outputs to my (Anker AH232 USB 3.0 Aluminum 13-Port Hub + 5V 2.1A Smart Charging Port with 12V 5A Power Adapter ) hub.
The USB-C output to an SanDisk Extreme 500GB Portable NVMe SSD, USB-C, up to 1050MB/s Read and 1000MB/s Write Speed.
Have tested the power pass through charging.
Have tested the SD Card reader.
I can report that it all works well, with no issues.
The Anker USB-C hub is light weight, but feels like it is a sturdy quality product and comes with a nice pouch.
Just compare the price of this anker 7-1 hub to a similar 3-1 apple product and you know you are getting good value.
For me, this suited my needs perfectly. I would highly recommend.
It does not come with a charger so you will need to provide your own USB-C charger (I use a 45W Lenovo charger from a laptop which is just enough) to enable pass through charging of your laptop. Charging is not offered via any of the ports (except the laptop USB-C connection therefore it cannot be used to charge devices. The speed of the connections seems acceptable (not used for any significant data transfers).
Overall a decent product, however it is not a replacement for a proper desktop docking station.
Likes – It works unlike previous attempt to get a portable HUB, I am not using all the ports, but do not need to.
No power required
Dislikes: it is a bit large but nothing that would put me off.
I use this on my MacBook Air. I connect an external monitor and has the ports for USB C and standard USB also. Great item, looks great and works great.
The problem with my Macbook 13 pro, is that it does not have the connection capabilty of old. It only has USB C sockets only (what were APPLE assuming when they brought this Macbook Pro to market?)
I needed to be able to connect my Kobo and Kindle e-readers to the Mac, as well as other third party hardware. Simple adapters and dongle converter did not make for a reliable connection, especially with my older Kobo Touch. Being somewhat frustrated, I thought I could try this recomended Anker hub with Power Through. Strainght out of the pack it did what I needed it to do.
I am not sure about longivity of quality just yet as I have only had it a week but so far it is doing what I need it to do and far cheaper than any Apple Hub!
Cable a little short for use with steam deck in a dock. Get some 90 adapters.
A lot of docks can be overpriced, I would recommend this one though as it doesn’t overheat, lightweight, easy to travel with or put away in a draw when you’re not using i
Really pleased with this purchase. It came quickly and works perfectly to connect my MacBook to my HP monitor.
Great Hubb, used in conjunction with iPad Pro, plenty of USB sockets for wireless mouse and keyboard, external drive and HDMI output to screen for watching Netflix on holiday, could be improved with additional HDMI and 3.5 audio socket. Doesn’t get over hot when in use charging, Overall another quality Anker product.
I like Anker products – they are reliable and worth paying a bit more. This works with my new MacBook Air purchased in July 2022. I’m using it for an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Everything works as it should.
Typically Anker – solid, reliable piece of kit. Would have been 5* if the usbc connection cable had been an a few centimetres longer.
Very useful product for MacBook Air m1
Worth of money
I bought this to put into my iPad it works very well
Straight out of the box it’s clear this is a higher quality product as I’ve come to expect of Anker – the materials feel premium and it has the reassuring weight in the hand of something packed with technology (although still not heavy!)
I had a problem at first with getting my monitor to display at full resolution – Windows had picked it up as a generic 640 x 480 panel – which was rather disappointing as I had no such issue with the cheap generic dock. However, I fixed this by installing a small program called CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) to add an entry for 1920×1080 resolution for the generic panel, and after a Windows restart the screen worked without issue. As I said, a little disappointing, but I’m going to give Anker the benefit of the doubt and say the problem is likely due to my rather old and dodgy no-name brand monitor – I expect something more modern from Dell or HP or the like would work without a hitch. Assuming it continues to work as it has, I think it’s been a worthwhile swap for me.
There are more fully featured docks available at this price point from the generic brands (at 35 you can just about find docks with ethernet ports and connectivity for a second screen if you look hard!) but it’s always a bit of a gamble whether they’ll work reliably – take my advice and stick with a reputable brand like Anker for your docking needs and you won’t go wrong.
I used this when I need to take my laptop elsewhere for work and still connect all the peripherals (headset, mouse, monitor, separate keyboard).
I noticed that the pass-through power delivery might not be 100% what is coming in as I had an alert on my laptop with it, but it did not affect performance or charging. It Worked just as promised.
Another trusted product from Anker. I tend to stick with their tech as I find them reliable.
Works as a hub however the power delivery pass through needs more that 20w to run on a iPad Pro. The cable is also on the short side and non removable.
Exactly why I was looking for. Well made and a quality product that works well.
Don’t waste your time with other cheaper USB-C expansion hubs. Whilst it may not be the cheapest, it’s certainly a very good piece of kit that does the job effeortlessly.
This is small and lightweight easy to use and works perfectly.
Great way to connect a tablet to multiple devices and good value.
After using my MacBook as a laptop for about a year now I decided it was time to get a desktop computer but having just bought my Mac last year I wanted to find a way to transform it into a desktop computer so I stumbled across this and my word it’s great.
I plugged the charger into the PD port and HDMI into a monitor. Then a usb mouse and keyboard and turned it all on and I was shocked that it actually worked.
Only downside is that it doesn’t have a Ethernet port so I bought a usb c to Ethernet for around 4 and plugged that into the C port on it and again that worked grea
Don’t know if it’s me, my computer or what, but the whole point of this was so I could swap between my personal laptop and my work laptop and not have to unplug, and replug 4 or 5 peripheral devices. Problem is the hdmi output to an external monitor didn’t work for either laptop. I sent it back and got a full refund.
This is night and day improvement from my previous moshi type-c hub (which is more expensive!). I like the quality plastic, after some use of power-delivery, it warms up a little, and feels like a black pebble you pick up on the King Edward’s Bay, Tynemouth, when the sun completely sets on one summer afternoon. Good investment I’d say!
I was looking for a travel solution to allow me to back up from SD card to SSD drive via Surface pro 8. This does the job no problem. It doesn’t need a seperate power supply for that and it just works. I’ve also had a mouse plugged in at the same time and it was all seamless. A bit pricey for what it is but Anker stuff has always done the job for me with no issues, so fingers crossed its the same here. Would recommend no problem
Very well packaged and fastly delivered. Not too big with a reasonable amount of weight. Gets a little warm but nothing too annoying. My main issue is that it has a small white led that lights when plugged into laptop. This stays on even when the laptop is off, this means that if I leave the hub plugged in it drains the battery on my laptop. This is quite annoying. I could unplug the hub but this is inconvenient. I could also leave the power adapter attached but this is not good for battery health. It might be nice if there was an off switch or similar.
Excellent prodcut, as you expect with Anker. Soft carry ouch is useful. And the lead (ab out 18cm) isn’t too short, as is the case wiht some hubs.
Perfect as a hub to expand the capabilities of a laptop or ultrabook. Not the cheapest I’ve ever bought, but by far the best.
Small. light, works well even when all connections are in use
So far I’ve used this to connect an iPad to a projector and macbook to a TV via the HDMI port. No issues, just plug and go. So I am happy.
I like Anker products they just work 🙂
Unclear from description that the hub needs a separate power supply to drive some peripheral’s.
Bought a 2021 16″ M1Pro MacBook Pro in December and got this to go with it
It’s the abosolutely perfect dongle for that MacBook
The MacBook itself has ALMOST every port you could need – with HDMI back, but this dongle is the perfect add on
I use 2 HDMI screens on my desk so this helps connect that
It allows me to continue using USB-A accessories as/when needed, and because the MacBook is charged with MagSafe again, using this dongle now doesn’t even remove a USB-C/Thunderbolt port either as it has one in-built
Is easy to carry around but would be a bit easier if the connector cable could be wound in, disconnected, or was just a bit longer to make it easy to wrap around the body of the dongle
The cable is very short and thick meaning it just sticks out of the little carry bag that came with it and is possibly primed to be damaged at some point in the future
Product is “as described”. Meets my requirements. Looks to be well made and has a little bit of weight to it. A little pricey compared to other vendors. Comes with a protective travelling case.
It’s a neat usb-c hub for devices with limited ports. Works well with macbook air m1 and windows. It very small and easy to carry around. The dock itself consumes around 15W of power, so you have to make sure that the charger you are using can provide the minimum power plus that 15W for the hub if you want to charge you laptop as well.
Unit failed after 10 months, replaced by Anker quickly and without too much aggro
Great product for keeping all your plug-ins tidy & working smoothly!
I bought this for my surface book as the Microsoft hub is way overpriced. Works really well and really pleased with the purchase.
Would be better if we could turn off the lateral light.
This is a really good product, the build quality feels great and it has a good range of ports available. Everything worked well. The only problem I had was that my laptop (and the problem was my laptop not this device) turned off the HDMI port built in when using the HDMI in this, which meant this wasn’t suitable for me. For anyone wanting to dock to a single external screen, a few USB items, and power through a single cable, this is perfect.
Originally product did not pass through charge for Samsung Tab S7+. Customer service helped with toubleshooting and solving the problem by advising to use an adaptor that could power the Hub as well as the tablet. So I used a 45Watt Samsung charger instead of the 15Watt charger that comes in the box, which allowed me to charge the tablet through power delivery. The ports work well, no problems so far!
Overall reliable hub with excellent functionality (i.e. extra usb c data port which is uncommon). Very well designed and portable.
The only deal breaker for me was the mandatory 15 watt power draw- this meant that my included MacBook air (30w) charger would not charge the laptop via this hub. I double checked this with a 60w charger and the received wattage was 45w. For comparison a similarly spec’d Sabrent hub uses just 5w.
A number of other reviews mention this but thought it was worth re-iterating the need for an extra, higher wattage charger if you use passthrough power and a comparison to a similar hub.
A very neat compact charging hub which, although having only had limited use to date, seems to do what it is meant to. So far, very happy.
The listing states that it doesn’t work with the ipad Pro but it does work.
The hub requires around 15 watts of power (=5 volts at 3 amps) so if you have a regular phone charger then it will not pass power through to the iPad (as the hub is using it all). If you plug in a higher output charger, e.g. 60 watts then the iPad will fast charge and the hub will work.
Interestingly though, the SD card reader functions without power being plugged into the hub (which is a pleasant surprise).
I’ve tested
– the USB A port with a wireless mouse adapter (worked fine)
– HDMI port outputting to a TV (worked fine)
– SD card slot with an SD card (worked fine)
I haven’t tested the microsd slot or the data usbc port but I have no reason to suspect they will not work.
This thing makes using the iPad so much easier for computer things (e.g. importing photos of a camera SD card slot or quickly outputting to a TV)
100% recommend this product!
Anker always seems a decent brand, other items I have from them have been reliable and good quality. This is the same, I am using it on my M1 Air and it does what it says it does. Small, light and portable, the connections are all tight and reliable. It gets warm to the touch, but not hot. The power tell-tale is subdued and does not glare. I think it is a very good product for the price-point.
I bought this for my new M1 Macbook Air. My 4K monitor, power supply, webcam and usb-c headphone dongle are all connected through it and working perfectly. Great value from Anker as always.
The perfect partner for your new M1 Mac, purchased on a deal and paid a great price use to supply power and an external drive and USB drive. Leaving one thunderbolt spare for other devices. Nice little felt case you keep safe and cable just about the correct length. Always buy Anker if they do a product I need, always seem good value price vs quality. 100% happy.
This Anker 7 in 1 adapter is ideal for my new ASUS laptop that I had purchased that has one usb C and two usb A sockets. I wanted to make use of usb C by purchasing this hub..It’s compact and has all the features that I use. It does not require a separate power supply. I can even plug my mobile into it for charging if needed. It comes with a sleeve for storage for when it’s not in use.
I didn’t realise the 15″ MacBook Pros used over 60w to charge until after purchasing my previous adapter. My MacBook would loose charge under heavy use even when plugged in. This is no longer an issue with this adapter which can adequately power my MacBook. It feels very high quality and I like how the attached cable is slightly longer than my old adapter too. Overall I am very happy with this purchase
I bought Anker because I have used the brand before and the devices are always of a good quality.
Pros:
– much smaller footprint
– fully functional
– good value for money
Cons:
– The Hub failed within weeks of arriving, but it was replaced without any fuss and replacement unit is working perfectly. One of the reasons to buy good brands.
Bear in mind:
– As the Hub takes 20W of power, the power supply that works on your laptop, may not work if plugged through the hub. The 65W original lenovo power brick is enough to power a thinkpad laptop through the hub. However, the PowerAtom III only delivers 45W on PD, so you cannot use the hub to charge.
What would I improve:
– The USB-C cable coming out is a bit short for my taste. I’d prefer if the hub came with a PD-out port on the hub and a lead you could plug in. This would allow you to replace it with a different length if preferred.
– Who needs the card readers? All USB hubs in the market have card readers but very few people need them. It would make more sense to have an additional USB port instead.
– I seem to struggle to find a power supply, 100W, with USB-C output that is reasonably compact and priced. I’d love to see something like the PowerAtom III on a 100W version.
Conclusion:
I can now have all the cables nicely tucked away with a single lead out of the dock into the USB-C port in the laptop and I am very happy
Has been really useful for working from home – having a hub for mouse, keyboard, monitor and power delivery makes it easier to unplug my laptop if I need to step into another room for a meeting. I haven’t noticed the hub heating up during power delivery unlike some of the user reviews mentioned.
The colour of the hub blends nicely with the colour of my computer and monitor. I have a 2018 Mac Mini which came with 4 Thunderbolt ports (too much!), since not many of my legacy accessories use USB 3 or USB C, the Anker hub is just perfect: it offers generous USB C and USB 3 ports as well as both SD and mocroSD ports. I am extremely satisfied with my Ankernhib hence it gets maximum stars. It is a recommended buy.
Gets a bit hot sometimes, but overall a great useful little device to have on you if you own a macbook and are a creator of anything. Just keep it mind its footprint is like a mobile phone. It’s as heavy as well, so you’ll need to give it some special room everywhere.
As I have said many times before ANKER is one of my favourite electronics companies.
This works with both my samsung tablet and my laptop. I have used it for all sorts of things in the last week or so and really couldent be any happier. Great for my photography on the go. Also with a bit of hassle the port will work flawlessly with a MIDI keyboard using a the desktop app on a tablet.
Would buy again if needed.
I bought this to replace an older one that kept dropping out on HDMI and my USB headset. This one works perfectly and does not require external power. It has a long enough cable so that it sits on my desk whilst the laptop is on a stand so it is not pulling at the USB C port on my laptop. I haven’t tried all of the ports, but so far this is exactly what I needed from a brand that I trus
Really nice iPad accessory. Extended my screen to a different monitor well which is why I bought it primarily. Haven’t used the other functions yet.
Comes with a nice storage pouch.
Downside is that it doesn’t extend sky go or BT apps but that’s not the extenders fault that’s because the apps dont allow it which is a shame.
I upgraded to this Anker USB-C hub from an older offering by Lenovo (the best I could find at the time). The Anker is immeasurably better. The hub has a nice weight, which feels sturdy and premium rather than heavy.
My typical usage has my 85W MBP charger plugged in the hub, and an external monitor connected via the HDMI. It stays cool under this load.
There isn’t too much to say about this hub.It is another excellent product from Anker,it is well made, is a nice compact size and does everything that it is designed to do.May be slightly more expensive than other models but is worth the extra in order to get the Anker reliability.
Unit developed a fault whereby it was no longer powering devices attached to it. After a couple of emails to Anker support they agreed to send me a new one. I had a replacement within three days of raising the issue. Excellent after-sales support. It’s a hidden (to many) benefit of buying Anker.
his is about 10 more than the no brand adaptors but 30 less than the apple one. It has more connectivity (SD, micro SD, USB, HDMI and UBB C) so better than the apple alternative. Basically for a MBP it has all the connectivity you need and still only uses 1 USB C port.
Being an Anker product it’s really well made, and although I’ve not had to use it, one of the reasons I chose Anker was that they have proper customers service if you ever have an issue
*[EDIT] I’ve now tried this with a 30w/18w USB-C Anker 12v car charger and it passes charge power through to the iPad as expected. The previous charger I tried was an Anker 18w USB-C 12v car charger but for whatever reason it didn’t pass power through.
I’ve tested the SD card reader, the micro SD card reader, the USB A/3 ports (with an external USB-3 spinning hard drive) and the USB-C data ports, all work just fine now. I can get iPad audio out through the USB-C port whilst simultaneously charging the iPad through the PD port. Big thumbs up!!!
I’d say the only drawback is the cable is quite short and not swappable.
*[previous review] The reason for 4 stars*[now 5 stars!] is that this does not pass power through to my iPad Pro 11″ as I’d hoped, so you can’t use the hub and charge the iPad at the same time. On first connecting the charging spund emits abs the battery icon goes green but then a second layer it goes off. I tried with two different power sources (one standard 2.4a USB-A car charger, and one anker PD car charger delivering up to 9v/2a) to rule that out but no luck. It’s possible it will work on a mains charger but I haven’t tried that yet.
This hub seemed to be of high quality materials but once i plugged it into my ipad and put a thumb drive in it it didn’t work
Ill contact customer support and see what will happen
Edit
Anker contacted me and offered a full refund
They have such a high quality customer service
