Cable Matters 5-in-1 USB-C Hub Stand for iPhone 16/15

The Cable Matters 5-in-1 USB-C hub stand converts an iPhone 15/16 series or USB-C tablet into a desktop-style workstation with 4K@60Hz HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A ports and 100W charging.

Designed as a compact docking solution, this Cable Matters hub combines a secure device stand with a multiport USB-C adapter so phones and tablets can connect to external displays, wired networks, and USB peripherals. The dock supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for high-resolution video and supplies up to 100W Power Delivery for charging while you work. It’s built to hold phones with cases and to sit stably on desks or meeting-room tables.

How can this hub improve my phone or tablet workspace?

Attach your USB-C phone or tablet to the hub and get a familiar desktop setup: an external monitor, wired internet, and full-size USB peripherals. That transforms mobile devices into productive workstations for editing, presentations, or extended browsing.

• Plug HDMI to mirror or extend to a 4K@60Hz monitor
• Use Gigabit Ethernet for stable, low-latency internet
• Connect keyboard, mouse, or thumb drives to USB-A ports
• Charge the host device with up to 100W PD while in use

Which devices are compatible and what limitations should I expect?

The stand works with many USB-C phones and tablets that support DP Alt Mode, including iPhone 15/16 series, iPad Pro models, and select Android flagship phones. Note that Apple limits data speeds on some iPhone models, and video requires host support for DisplayPort Alt Mode.

• Compatible: iPhone 15/16 series, iPad Pro, Pixel, Galaxy S22/S23 Ultra, Motorola Edge+ and similar USB-C devices
• Requirement: Host device must support DP Alt Mode for HDMI video output
• Data caveat: iPhone 15/15 Plus file transfer speeds may be limited to 480Mbps
• Works with most protective cases thanks to silicone pads and adjustable holders

What video, network, and power performance can I expect?

Video output supports up to 4K at 60Hz when the source implements DP Alt Mode, providing crisp motion and sharp detail on external displays. Network throughput is a full Gigabit Ethernet connection for fast downloads and low ping, and the USB-C PD port accepts up to 100W for charging laptops or keeping phones topped up.

• HDMI output: up to 4K@60Hz for smooth high-resolution video
• Ethernet: 1 Gbps wired networking for stability and speed
• Power: 100W Power Delivery to charge host device while connected
• USB: USB-A 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports for peripherals and storage

Who is this for? The Cable Matters 5-in-1 hub stand is aimed at mobile professionals, students, and hybrid workers who want to use a phone or tablet as a practical workstation without carrying a full laptop. It’s useful for presenters who need HDMI out, content creators who want external storage and displays, and anyone who prefers the speed and reliability of wired Ethernet. If your device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and you need a tidy, stable dock that adds ports and power, this hub is a compact, travel-friendly option.
