Anker 8‑in‑1 USB‑C Hub — Triple Display USB C Docking

The Anker 8-in-1 USB-C Hub is a compact docking station that expands a single USB-C port into two HDMI ports, a VGA port, multiple USB data ports, and up to 85W pass-through charging for multi-monitor setups and high-speed peripherals.

This lightweight dock turns one USB-C or Thunderbolt input into a full workstation-ready hub designed for productivity on Macs, Windows laptops, Chromebooks, and select tablets. It balances video, data, and power delivery so you can connect displays, external drives, keyboards, mice, and charge your laptop while keeping cables organized. Note compatibility limits for macOS display modes and Linux systems.

How many external monitors can I run with this Anker hub?

You can connect up to three external displays: two HDMI outputs and one VGA output. One HDMI supports 4K@60Hz for a sharp primary screen, while the second HDMI and the VGA provide additional displays at lower resolutions. macOS limits external displays to mirror mode, so simultaneous extended displays require compatible Windows or ChromeOS devices with DP Alt Mode.

• Triple-display support: 2× HDMI + 1× VGA
• Primary HDMI: up to 4K@60Hz
• Secondary HDMI and VGA: support 1080p and lower
• macOS users: external monitors mirror only

What data and charging speeds will I get from this docking station?

The hub offers high-speed 5Gbps transfers on its USB-A and USB-C data ports, making large file moves and backups much quicker than USB 2.0 alternatives. For laptop charging, the hub supports USB-C Power Delivery pass-through up to 85W when paired with a suitable 100W wall charger and a quality USB-C cable. Power and transfer can run concurrently, letting you charge while transferring files and driving displays.
