AXAGON - HMC-4KX3 USB-C 5Gbps Triple 4K Display 11in1 Hub Silver

Multiport USB-C 5Gbps TRIPLE 4K DISPLAY hub AXAGON HMC-4KX3 expands your laptop with nine ports and memory card reader SD / microSD. You can easily and quickly connect up to three monitors, three USB devices, a Gigabit Ethernet network, headphones and card reader to your computer at the same time via the double-sided USB-C connector. You also get the possibility to supply laptop using Power Delivery technology at the same time. The USB-C hub will provide you with a universal and powerful 11in1 docking station for modern laptops.

The USB hub offers three USB outputs with standard USB-A connectors. The hub can also handle permanent connection of several external drives simultaneously. Transfer rate up to 5Gb/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. The hub will also enable charging of phones and tablets with a current of up to 1.5A/5V, so you can easily charge e.g. Android smartphone, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad etc. 

The USB-C connector is reserved only for powering and simultaneous charging of laptops using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with a power of up to 100W. Connect the USB-C Power Delivery charger to the hub and connect the hub to the laptop. This saves one USB-C port. The condition is a laptop with Power Delivery charging support from the USB-C port and a suitable PD charger.

Each of the three video outputs (2x HDMI + 1x DisplayPort) provides a high-quality image up to 4K/60Hz Ultra HD resolution.  High frequencies at popular gaming resolutions of 2K/144Hz or FullHD/240Hz are also supported. Even when three monitors are connected at the same time, the docking station can provide a resolution of up to 4K/30Hz on each of them. Thanks to HDR (high dynamic range) support, you can enjoy a significantly expanded range of colors and contrasts without restrictions. DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) enabled USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3/4 port is necessary for the proper function of video output. Support for the above max. supported resolutions and frequencies requires connection to a computer with DisplayPort version 1.4. 

Gigabit network card extends your computer by a fast network connection, adds the missing RJ-45 network connector or another network card. 

Card reader supports all current versions of SD and microSD cards including SDXC and microSDXC with capacity up to 2TB. High data transfer speed ensured by USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. The card reader enables simultaneous handling of cards in both slots and direct copying between them.

The robust aluminum body ensures mechanical resistance and quality cooling of the docking station. The wedge shape of the hub encourages its use as a laptop pad for better cooling and ergonomic positioning. Also, the included USB-C cable is designed to use the hub as a laptop pad, the optimal length of 40 cm together with the curved connector allows it to be almost entirely hidden under the laptop and contribute to the impression of a clean desk. The USB-C cable is detachable and can be replaced with a longer cable if needed. 

Thanks to the Plug and Play and Hot Plug functions, connecting the hub itself is very simple without complicated installation, and peripherals can also be easily connected and disconnected while the computer is running.
