StarTech.com USB-C Hub 4-in-1 4K60 HDMI 100W PD

The StarTech.com 4-in-1 USB-C Hub is a compact portable docking station that adds 4K 60Hz HDMI output, two 10Gbps USB-C ports, a 10Gbps USB-A port, and 100W USB Power Delivery through a single extra-long USB-C cable.

This lightweight Type-C expansion hub converts a single USB-C or Thunderbolt port into a small workstation-ready set of ports for laptops, tablets and phones. It supports DP Alt Mode for crisp 4K video, delivers high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfers, and passes up to 100W of power to charge your laptop while powering peripherals. The unit’s 10-inch (25 cm) tethered cable improves setup flexibility and limits strain on device connectors, making it easy to use at home, in shared office spaces, or when traveling.

How does this hub handle external displays and what resolution can I expect?

The hub supports HDMI 2.0b via DP Alt Mode, enabling up to 4K at 60Hz on compatible hosts using DP 1.4 Alternate Mode. For older DP 1.2 hosts, the max output is 4K at 30Hz. It also accommodates many ultrawide monitors at 3440x1440 at 60Hz, giving you flexible multi-monitor options for productivity or media.

• 4K 60Hz HDR10 on DP 1.4 Alt Mode hosts (Intel 11th Gen minimum)
• 4K 30Hz on DP 1.2 Alt Mode hosts
• Supports ultrawide monitors up to 3440x1440 at 60Hz
• Works with tablets like iPad Pro that use USB-C DP Alt Mode

What ports and speeds does the StarTech.com mini dock provide?

This adapter consolidates four useful ports: one HDMI, one USB-A 10Gbps, and two USB-C 10Gbps ports (one of which doubles as a 100W PD pass-through). The USB-A port supports BC 1.2 device charging (approx. 7.5W), while both USB-C data ports can handle high-speed peripherals like external SSDs or docks.

• 1× HDMI 4K 60Hz output (DP Alt Mode)
• 1× USB-A 10Gbps with BC 1.2 charging
• 2× USB-C 10Gbps — one shared for data, one for 100W PD pass-through
• USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) performance for fast transfers

How does charging and power delivery work with this hub?

The hub supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 up to 100W when connected to a compatible USB-C power adapter, so you can charge most laptops while using video and peripherals. PD 3.0’s Fast Role Swap reduces disruptions when switching power sources, preserving active data and video sessions during power transitions.

• Up to 100W PD 3.0 pass-through for laptop charging
• Fast Role Swap to avoid data/video interruption during power changes
• Can run bus-powered for basic peripheral use without external adapter
• BC 1.2 support on USB-A for device charging (approx. 7.5W)

Which systems and devices are compatible with this docking station?

The mini dock is broadly compatible with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3/4 laptops, many Chromebooks, and modern tablets and phones that support DP Alt Mode. It works across Windows, macOS, iPadOS, iOS (with DP Alt Mode devices), Android, Linux and Chrome OS, though maximum video resolutions depend on the host’s Alt Mode version.

• Compatible with MacBook (Intel and M1), Dell, HP, Lenovo laptops, and Surface devices
• Works with iPad Pro and iPad Mini models that support DP Alt Mode
• Supports a wide range of USB-C phones and tablets for data and charging
• Driver-free operation for typical video, data and power functions

The StarTech.com hub also integrates with StarTech.com Connectivity Tools — a software suite that offers an advanced Windows layout utility and USB event monitoring for IT management and auditing. The product is backed by a three-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Who is this for: Professionals, students and mobile creatives who need a small, reliable dock to expand a single USB-C port into high-resolution video, fast external storage connectivity, and laptop charging while traveling or working in compact spaces. It’s especially useful for users who require 4K60 displays, 10Gbps data speeds, and robust power delivery in a portable package.
