uniUSB C HUB, 8 in 1 USB C Adapter with removable Connector, 4K HDMI, 1 Gbps Ethernet, 2 USB 3.0 Data Ports, 100W PD, SD and microSD Card Reader for MacBook Pro, XPS, Pixelbook and More

In the past, Belkin held the crown for the best non-Apple accessories for Macs.But now the top spot is firmly in the hands of Uni Accessories. The combination of performance, aesthetic and cost-effectiveness of their products is second to none. In my experience of purchasing cables and accessories for myself, colleagues and family members: If Uni make it, it will be the best.I am a particular fan of this 8-in-1 hub for a couple of specific features (though all of the above is still perfectly true):- Detachable main USB-C cable. This makes storing it in a rucksack (where mine basically lives) neat and safe. On my previous hub, the main cable experiences a lot of stress because I had to bend it to put in order to put it in a logical pocket in my rucksack.- The rugged build AND lovely silicone sleeve. This gives you the option of safety and/or pleasing look. It's a nice touch and I can't imagine why others have not added this...- Space Grey colouring - bang on!Overall performance has been great. I just love the fact that I only need one cable into my mac and I have extra display, ethernet, lightning cable (for iPhone) and the rest in a lovely little package.Highly recommend.

My main reasons for choosing this over the plethora of other USB type C hubs available were the ability to replace the cable connecting the hub to the host device, compatibility with iPad Pro, the selection of ports and price:-Removable cable. Although the supplied cable is of good quality and is perfectly usable, cables do wear out over time. Plus, my setup requires the ability to be connected to power and a number of accessories without lots of dongles dangling from my MacBook. The pass-through charging and ability to use a longer cable (I’m using a Cable Matters 10 Gbps 1 Metre cable), which is something no other portable hub I was able to find allows you to do, makes it possible to work comfortably from my sofa all day.-Compatibility with iPad Pro. Since the release of iOS 13, I’ve been working with more and more files from external devices on my iPad; this hub not only allows me to have multiple USB flash drives and a Micro SD card connected at the same time, it also allows me to do it while still connected to power AND to my home network via Ethernet when I’m in parts of the house where The Wi-fi signal is weak.-Selection of ports. While some reviewers have complained about the lack of an additional, data capable, USB-C port, my view is that most devices will have more than one anyway (my MacBook Pro has four of them) and the reason for buying a device such as this is to increase the number of non USB-C ports. I’ve found the Ethernet port in particular surprisingly useful (see my iPad comments above) and have yet to encounter a situation where I needed to plug something in that I didn’t have an available slot for.At only £45 I think anybody would be hard pressed to find a smaller (you can see in the photos just how compact it is), better built or more capable USB hub (I really tried and I couldn’t). That being said, if anyone from uni is reading this and looking for constructive criticism to help to develop future versions, more power to at least one of the USB slots to allow effective charging of a phone and a longer USB-C cable would be welcome additions (in my opinion at least).

Now, I admit that there is (probably) NO mention whatsoever of headphones output anywhere in the product description, I guess, to my mind at least this was a given (?)… so yes, I was rather disappointed that this rather critical feature (to me, at least) was lacking… But it is what it is. Great product, but would have been absolutely phenomenal if I could use it with my wired headphones.Sigh.. Guess you can’t have it all?

What a superb hub that has one feature above all the other hubs, a detachable cable for plugging into your macbook and I will explain in a bit why I love this.The dock itself is about the size of a pack of playing cards and has a silicone jacket. Compact, portable and some protection so easy to take on the go if need be.This dock had the four things I needed. Ethernet at full speed, HDMI out and power delivery. A lot fo though has gone into this because those ports are ont he one side that would naturally be the back when on a desk and the front is for other connections featuring usb a ports and a card reader. So its well laid out.I mention at the start the detachable cable. Great for on the go where you are likely to plug the dock in right next to your macbook. However, for me I wanted something I could tuck under my desk and have a cable I could pull forwards to hook my MacBook up when needed. So this was perfect.INitially I ordered one of the longer Uni cables for this purpose but no dice, no video throughput, and it mentions that on the small print for the cables. So I ordered a USB C 3.1 Gen 2 cable and it works perfectly. I just pull the cable forward, plug in and boom, wired internet, power delivery and hdmi out.I am using mine with a MacBook Pro 2017 connected via HDMI to a Dell S2719DGF 1440p display and gigabit ethernetI cant rate this dock highly enough as it does the job, even with an additional cable purchased, of docks youd see going for a lot more. Very happy
