Axagon HMC-12GM2, USB 10Gbps hub, 3x USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DP, RJ-45, M.2, SD/mSD, audio, PD

The Multiport USB-C 10Gbps Hub AXAGON HMC-12GM2 GEN2COMBO 12in1 extends your laptop, computer, or phone with eleven ports and an external enclosure for M.2 drives.

Via the reversible USB-C connector, you can easily and quickly connect up to two monitors, four USB devices, Gigabit Ethernet network, headphones, SD card reader, and an NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD to your computer. You also get the ability to simultaneously power your laptop with Power Delivery technology. With the USB-C Hub, you get a simple and compact 12in1 laptop docking station like the MacBook Air or Pro.

The USB hub offers three USB outputs with standard USB-A connectors. Two with 5Gbps speeds and a third with 10Gbps speeds for more demanding devices. There is also a USB-C data port with 10 Gbps. The hub can handle the permanent connection of two external drives simultaneously. Thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, the transfer speed is up to 10Gb/s.

Exclusively, the second USB-C port is reserved for power supply and simultaneous charging of laptops with Power Delivery 3.0 technology with a power output of up to 100W. Connect a suitable USB-C Power Delivery charger to the hub and connect the hub to a laptop that supports Power Delivery. This saves one USB-C port.

The HDMI and DisplayPort outputs provide a high-quality picture. The HDMI output delivers high image quality with an Ultra HD resolution of up to 4K/60Hz and supports multi-channel audio transmission. High frequencies at popular gaming resolutions of 2K/144Hz or FullHD/240Hz are also supported. Thanks to HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, you can enjoy a significantly extended spectrum of colors and contrasts without limitations. For the video outputs to function correctly, the notebook must have a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) support or a Thunderbolt 3 port and higher.

You can connect an NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD drive via the integrated slot on the back. The multiport hub thus becomes an external drive. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided up to a size of 22x80 mm. The external M.2 enclosure has no capacity limit for SSDs and supports modern features such as TRIM, UASP, and allows reading S.M.A.R.T. information to monitor disk status.

The Gigabit network adapter extends the computer with a fast and stable network connection, complements the missing RJ-45 network port, or adds another network card.

The card reader supports all versions of SD and microSD cards including SDXC and microSDXC with a capacity of up to 2TB. Thanks to the high-speed USB interface, you can fully exploit the potential of modern memory cards. The card reader allows simultaneous handling of cards in both slots and direct copying between them.

The elegant aluminum casing ensures mechanical resistance and passive cooling. Active cooling is provided by a quiet integrated fan that cools both the M.2 drive and the hub's casing itself. You will also appreciate the finely textured surface without fingerprints. The port replicator is the ideal accessory for laptops with a shortage of USB ports, storage, or video outputs. The 50 cm long USB-C cable is detachable and can be replaced with a longer cable if required.

You can use your existing USB peripherals without having to buy new ones. Thanks to Plug-and-Play and Hot-Plug functions, connecting the hub itself is very easy without complicated installation. It is also possible to easily connect and disconnect peripherals while the computer is running. The hub is not afraid of connecting to phones with a USB-C port. For example, you can connect a flash drive, keyboard, mouse, screen, TV, or projector to the phone.
