The Plugable 5-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 Hub (USB4-HUB3A) is a compact powerhouse designed to unleash the full potential of your Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 laptop. With support for up to 60W host charging, three Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports (40Gbps each), and a USB-A port (10Gbps) for legacy devices, this hub is perfect for creative professionals and tech enthusiasts who demand maximum throughput. Drive dual 4K monitors or a single 8K display with ease, and daisy-chain additional Thunderbolt devices without breaking a sweat.
Maximize Your Mac or PC with the Plugable USB4-HUB3A
If you're using a MacBook Pro with M1, M2, or M3 chips, or a Windows laptop with Thunderbolt 4, this hub delivers the bandwidth you need for intensive workflows. With the ability to daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt devices and support for up to 15W charging to connected peripherals, you can create a clean, efficient workstation. The hub is compatible with macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later and iPadOS 13 or later, making it a versatile companion for Apple users.
Monitor Support and Daisy Chaining Capabilities
One of the standout features of the USB4-HUB3A is its support for multiple display configurations. On a Mac, you can connect two 4K monitors at 60Hz, or a single 8K display at 30Hz. For Windows users, the maximum display support varies depending on the host laptop's GPU and drivers, but generally, dual 4K monitors are possible. When daisy-chaining, each additional monitor must support Thunderbolt and be properly configured to work in a chain.
If you're wondering about monitor compatibility with M1 Macs, it's important to note that while Apple's M1 chips natively support only one external display, this hub uses a DisplayLink chip to enable additional displays. However, the USB4-HUB3A does not include DisplayLink; it relies on the host's native support. For M1 Macs, you may need a DisplayLink adapter to achieve multi-monitor setups. This hub is best used with Intel Macs or M1 Pro/Max/Ultra for dual display support.
With its compact, durable design and included 135W power adapter, the USB4-HUB3A is ready to take on the demands of modern computing, offering a seamless, one-cable solution for your desk or travel setup.
