uni USB C Hub,8-in-1 USB Type C Multiport Hub 4K @60Hz HDMI for Laptop,3FT | 1-Gbps LAN, 100W PD, 5 Gbps USB 3.0, Compatible with iPad Pro, MacBook Pro/Air, Dell XPS, Galaxy S24/S23

I purchased this hub after owning a very compact, on-body designed hub for my 2020 M1 13” MacBook Pro. It served me well for two years, but the main drawback was its inability to support 4K 60Hz on my display, offering only 1080p 120Hz. Despite multiple online searches, I couldn't find an affordable hub that met this requirement without risking breakage. I experimented with two different hubs, one falsely claiming 4K 60Hz support and another priced around $90 that still capped at 4K 30Hz, both of which I returned. Recently, I searched for the best USB-C hubs, specifically with a cable design instead of an on-body one. I stumbled upon a video by Jakob Haq on YouTube, where he reviewed the updated Uni Hub. His compelling reasons for why this hub was the best - featuring a replaceable high-data cable and 4K 60Hz support - convinced me to give it a try. I'd recommend watching his video, especially if you're a music producer with a portable setup like his. Upon ordering from Amazon, the Uni Hub arrived promptly, even without Prime. During the first day of use, all ports functioned flawlessly, including the USB 2.0 port at the back where I had my mouse's 2.4GHz USB receiver connected. However, after over a day of use, this specific port ceased to function or recognize any other accessories I connected to it. Fortunately, the 3.0 ports continued to work, though I was uncertain if they might eventually encounter issues. I contacted Uni support at this point, and they promptly acknowledged it as a unit defect. To my surprise, they sent me a replacement unit with exceptional customer service that was quick, friendly, and overall a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this hub, not only for its features but also for the outstanding customer service that goes along with it. The Uni Hub boasts a range of ports, including micro and standard SD card slots, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 gigabyte Ethernet port, and a USB-C (as far as I'm aware) power-only port. Its versatility and portability are commendable, and the removable cable addresses the concern of the hub becoming obsolete due to cable damage. Overall 10/10

I've bought 3 of these - two for personal use, and one for a family member. All ports work well - small size - - make sure to get the @60Hz model (vs the @30Hz. . You'll need to buy a 100W USB C to power the hub (or use the adapter that came with your laptop).

As the title mentions I’ve tested 4 other alternate usb c hub for my MacBook Air. None of them were working fine : - either the screen was flickering - the macOS native resolution was not supported - hdmi was not working None of these issues with that hub This is definitely the best I could find on the market I got the 60 hz to make sure I was going to get the best user experience The short cable is perfect for my usage Keep in mind this is not a generic usb c cable if you want to replace it it needs to support the bandwidth Would recommend to anyone ! You can purchase without any headache

I purchased this product January 14th (5 weeks ago) and it has worked well until this morning when the USB mouse port stopped working. I have really liked the product until now. The other USB ports don't work for connecting the mouse. The mouse still works so it is not the mouse - I am able to connect it to an Anker adapter and insert into the second Mac port and it works well. It's a problem with the Uni hub. I tried to file a ticket with uni but their ticket form let's you fill out all the details, but the next button doesn't work so you can't submit it. That's frustrating. So I'm putting my ticket details right into this review. Model: uni USB C Hub, 8-in-1 USB Type C Multiport Hub, 4K @60Hz HDMI, 1-Gbps LAN, 100W PD, 5 Gbps USB 3.0, Compatible with iPad Pro, MacBook Pro/Air, Dell XPS, Galaxy, etc, 3FT

This is a nice device. I like the removable USB-C cable for easy storage in the laptop case. I always have problems with fixed cables, they always seek to kink and eventually stop working. Also, the length of the cable is a bit longer to give to a little more flexibility where you're working from. The rubber bumper is a nice touch to keep drops for damaging the case etc. It meets all of the rates specs as well, all ports work as advertised Nice box.

Quality equipment that has raised my streaming to a higher level. The speed of this unit allows multiple headsets as well as two cameras to be streaming while still charging my IPAD. The compact size and weight allow me to pack this unit in a pack for away games. I live stream high school football games and this product has taken my streaming above many others.

Good

This is the best HUB I've ever purchased. I mainly use it for my ipad. Handles my hard drives connection well while allowing to connect charger and work! The hub I had before this would not recognize my hard drive while charger connected. Great product!!!

Avevo già la versione non Pro, quindi partivo conoscendo già il prodotto. La versione PRO è un bel upgrade, consiglio di prendere direttamente questa per alcuni motivi: - Uscita HDMI 4K60hz e non 4K30Hz - Dicitura descrittiva delle porte più dettagliata sul prodotto (non serve ai fini di utilizzo ma è comunque un buon tocco - Cavo in confezione più lungo Entrambi gli hub scaldano poco e hanno tutte le porte funzionanti e che possono essere usate contemporaneamente.

Pros: This portable multi purpose usb-c hub (model Uni Pro Plus) connects external 4k screen, Gigabit ethernet, USB-A 3.0 (5gbps) and 2.0 ports, and sd card reader in a compact well built case. It has usb-c PD input at 100W, feeding power to every attached device, including Ipad Pro. Ipad connects via 10Gbit usb-c port. With a 65W power supply I haven’t run out of juice yet with every port connected. I’ve had zero issues with connecting class compliant usb audio and MIDI equipment. Hub is USB OTG ready. More than I can say of the many usb OTG adapters I’ve tried. It just works. If for some reason my audio interface isn’t recognized, (once a month), I just pull and reinsert the cable, and good to go. USB-A 3.0 ports at 5Gbit streams several hundreds of MB/s depending on ssd construction. (EDIT. OBS This is with self powered ssd. Bus powered ssd enclosure has problems with getting enough juice and behaves erratically. Beware of this shortcoming. Look below). Haven’t tested the HDMI at 4k/60Hz maximum, but my 2k screen automatically extends the iPads built in. It just works. (iPadOS 16/17). If Uni says 4k/60 is fine, I belive them. Support is fast and very helpful, and genuinely seems interested in helping the customer. Seems they are proud of their products. One of the best support I’ve come across. (Thanks Amrich). I also think the 65$ I paid is money well spent. Cons: No usb-c device port. Only usb-a. For those occasions I use a proven (otg) Graugear A to C adapter. The power fed through the 5gbps USB3 ports is only 5V 0.9A 4.5W. This is NOT enough for powering externel ssd or other storage enclosures. Enclosures has to be self powered to work as expected. This should have been pointed out in the overview of the hub. The very efficient bus powered nvme ssd and enclosure I bought (around 5W total) didn’t work. This seems to be the case with all budget usb-c hubs. Way to weak power feed out of bus powered usbA ports. Not just this Uni Pro Plus. So expanding iPad with external usb storage is definitely not easy even in iPadOS 17. I had to complement a OWC Thunderbolt hub to get my setup running fine. (Look for my coming review on the owc, when testing is done). The only other flaw I know of is the usb-c dataport going to iPad is a bit flaky. It’s a shame the fit is not completely tight with certain usb-c cable connectors. The high quality, thick 90cm cable that’s in the box fits fine. If you buy one, Uni is a bit discerning about wich cables to use. As long as the usb-c connector entering the hub is the same size as Unis provided, all is fine if you ask me. At least 20gbps transfer rate. The plug shall fit tightly the hole in the rubber case that’s around the hub case. Then it doesn’t wiggle so easily. During a performance this could be a problem. A pity uni usb-c port isn’t as tight as the iPads. If it had been, I would have given it 5 stars. Now 4.5 is more to the point. Edit NOTE: You can’t daisy chain devices to Uni 8-1 that has to communicate directly with the host. For instance another Uni 8-1 or other hub that has connected devices to it. It can’t pass through buspower or talk to “host like” devices. Traffic gets intermittent or just stops working. I had to solve my setup issues with a proven daisy chain Thunderbolt4 hub from OWC. That solved all issues I had with other hubs. See my other review on the OWC TB4.

The build quality, number of ports and speeds are excellent but what really sets this one apart froM the competition is the completely detachable cable. This way you can replace it by a better one and have different lengths for different situation. On the road I have a very short cable, in the office a long one that I simply leave there. I cannot recommend this hub enough! PLEASE NOTE: make sure to get the newer Pro version, especially if you have a hi res monitor attached.

Très bon produit, efficace fiable et robuste. Je l’ai utilisé sur un MacBook Pro puissant, avec presque la totalité des pots utilisés en simultané, et ça fonctionne parfaitement ! Attention à bien mettre votre chargeur de MacBook en usb C directement via le Hub afin qu’il ait tout la puissance nécessaire pour fonctionner.

Fiable et solide Cable amovible
