Anker 7-in-1 USB-C Hub: 4K 60Hz HDMI Adapter, 85W Power Delivery, Dual USB-A and USB-C Data Ports, SD/TF Card Reader for Mac and Type-C Laptops (Power Supply Excluded)
Product Description
Product Overview
The Anker 7-in-1 USB‑C Hub is a compact adapter designed to expand the connectivity options of laptops that feature a USB‑C port. It integrates a 4K 60Hz HDMI output, an 85W Power Delivery (PD) line, dual USB‑A data ports, an additional USB‑C data port, and a card reader that supports both SD and TF (microSD) formats. The unit is intended for use with Mac computers and other laptops that use a Type‑C connector for data and power.
Display Connectivity
With the 4K 60Hz HDMI adapter, users can connect an external display that supports 4K resolution at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The port is supplied with the necessary signal conversion hardware to transmit the video and audio signals from the laptop’s USB‑C source to a compatible monitor, TV, or projector that accepts HDMI input.
Power Delivery
The hub includes an 85W Power Delivery channel that delivers power back to the laptop through the USB‑C port. The 85W rating indicates the maximum power that the adapter can supply, allowing the connected device to charge while simultaneously using other ports. It is important to note that the hub itself does not contain a power supply; a separate power adapter must be supplied by the user if the laptop requires charging.
Data Ports
Two USB‑A ports provide standard data connectivity, allowing the connection of peripherals such as flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, or mice. An additional USB‑C port offers a second data channel, enabling the use of devices that require a USB‑C interface. All data ports are wired to the hub’s internal controller for the transfer of data between the laptop and attached accessories.
Card Reader
The integrated SD/TF card reader accepts both standard SD cards and TF (microSD) cards. Users can transfer photos, videos, or other files directly from a memory card to the laptop without needing a separate reader. The reader is mounted on the front of the hub for easy access.
Compatibility
Designed for Mac laptops and other computers equipped with a Type‑C port, the hub supports devices that use the USB‑C interface for data transfer, video output, and power delivery. It is not tailored for older laptops that lack a Type‑C port or for devices that require proprietary connectors.
Package Contents
The package includes the Anker 7‑in‑1 USB‑C Hub and a 15‑inch USB‑C to USB‑C cable for connecting the hub to the laptop. The power supply is not part of the package; users must supply an external power adapter that matches the 85W requirement if charging the laptop through the hub is desired.
Usage Notes
- Connecting a Monitor: Attach the HDMI cable to the hub’s HDMI port, then connect the other end to a 4K 60Hz capable display.
- Charging the Laptop: Plug the external power adapter into the hub’s PD port and connect the cable to the laptop’s USB‑C charging input.
- Data Transfer: Use the USB‑A or USB‑C ports to connect flash drives, external drives, or other peripherals.
- Reading Memory Cards: Insert SD or TF cards into the reader and access them from the laptop’s file explorer.
All connections are maintained through a single cable that links the hub to the laptop’s USB‑C port, keeping the desktop or workstation area uncluttered. The compact form factor makes it suitable for both home and office environments where space and cable management are considerations.
