Usb-C Multimedia Hub+ Power,Space Gray

Great piece of hardware – exactly what I’ve come to expect from Belkin products. Just a note on the power passthrough and wired network connection.I’m running Linux on a newer model Dell XPS laptop with two USB-C and no other ports. This keeps the laptop amazingly thin but necessitates a device like this for USB, wired network, external video, etc. I was having trouble getting a wired network connection with the device even with wireless disabled in the OS when I discovered a setting in the system firmware (on the laptop) to automatically disable wireless if a wired connection was detected. The wired connection worked great after that and since it is a firmware setting, some may experience the same issue on a Windows based PC. When transferring larger files between devices on my home network, the wired option is 4-5 times faster than even a solid 5ghz wireless connection on the same laptop.Also, when using the USB-C power pass-through, the firmware popped up to tell me I was using an underpowered device and that the system may not achieve peak performance (words to that effect). I’ve noticed no performance impact and the battery charges just fine.All ports on the device have worked just fine with no need to install drivers.Highly recommend.

I needed an HDMI port for my new monitor to plug into my Macbook Pro that could handle 4K and and upload photos from my CANON DSRL very quickly. I do film editing on the MAC. I really didn't want the Ethernet port but this one had the best ratings. I was hesitant to drop $100 on this but I'd just spent $1000 on the monitor so didn't wanna go cheap and undermine the monitor's strengths. When I opened up the package I was struck by how weighty this device is! You rarely feel anything like this anymore. Everything feels cheap and flimsy. Later I realized that this also works with my work Surface laptop. I didn't realize the USB Type C 3.1 was something both the MAC And SURFACE used. I also plan on using the monitor for work to help my neck/posture so this adapter will be used much more than planned. I highly recommend this.

Good quality

Gets really hot and the USB ports are too close together for some plugs. Also, I couldn’t figure out what the USB-C port on the end is for. Except for that, the ports do all work

I've had mine since 2020. Mostly I use it to connect low power peripherals so I'm not plugging in an additional 60W. So the angle I take on this is how do the ports hold up? And so far so good. Even after 4 years of heavy use, everything is tight. I have not had a single problem and I can be a bit hard on my gear. I'm swapping out a lot of different low power usb devices and am having no problems.

This was a replacement for another hub I had bought off Amazon that eventually died within a year. The other hub was one of the ones without a cord and you connect straight to the port, which in theory is more "cleaned up" and organized. However, due to the construction of it, the two connectors started bending and almost wobbling, which is why I bought this one and so far so good. Is very light not too big and the cord does gives you flexibility to get it out of the way to create more space for your work area. It has not hinder the connection to my wireless charger or any cord whatsoever. It is a solution to the lack of ports on the apple computer devices.

Fine to start with, but after about 6 weeks, sometimes the ethernet seemed not to connect ... I would fiddle around, reboot in case it was the laptop, and it would start again. But now, after only 5 months, absolutely nothing! The ethernet cable lights go on when plugged in, but no connection actually happens. For diagnostics, I tried using an ethernet to usb adapter, and then route it through a usb port in the hub, but still not working. When I took this Belkin hub out of the equation, and just put the ethernet cable + adapter directly in to the laptop, ethernet works just fine. So it's not the ethernet cable nor the laptop's port. VERY disappointed, as Belkin was a pricier option, but I invested because it's vital to my work that my internet is strong and steady!

I got this product so I could work from home during the pandemic, as a mental health care provider. From the beginning, my video calls were being dropped. I spent dozens of hours trying to identify the problem, calling my internet provider, my video platform provider, and my laptop company. After none of them could identify the problem, we realized it was a defect in THIS UNIT. But, because it was after the 30 day return policy, they are refusing to replace it. I understand the policy, but I also expect a company to stand by its product, and replace defective units if discovered within a reasonable period. 30 days is not always adequate to discover a defect. I have asked repeatedly to have it replaced, and get the answer that they "cannot" replace it due to their policy. Let's be clear, they ALWAYS have the option to override a policy, so they are CHOOSING not to stand by their products. I'm going directly to Belkin now, but it should have been a simple Amazon seller replacement.
