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

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.

Een van de weinige goede USB-hubs die daadwerkelijk werkt met een Chromecast TV 4K. Eindelijk een stabiele bedrade netwerkverbinding (LAN) in plaats van een draadloze en vaak haperende Wifiverbinding.
