Axagon HMC-4KX3 USB 5Gbps hub, 3x USB-A, 2x HDMI, DP, RJ-45, SD/microSD, audio, PD 100W

The Multiport USB-C 5Gbps TRIPLE 4K DISPLAY Hub AXAGON HMC-4KX3 expands your laptop with nine ports and an SD/microSD memory card reader. Thanks to the reversible USB-C connector, you can easily and quickly connect up to three monitors, three USB devices, a Gigabit Ethernet network, headphones, and a card reader to your computer simultaneously. You also get the option to power your laptop at the same time using Power Delivery technology. With the USB-C hub, you get a universal and powerful 11-in-1 docking station for modern laptops.

The USB hub offers a total of three USB outputs with standard USB-A connectors. The hub can permanently connect multiple external drives simultaneously. Thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, the transfer speed is up to 5Gb/s. The hub also charges phones and tablets with a current of up to 1.5A/5V, so the hub can easily charge an Android smartphone, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, etc.

The USB-C port is designed for powering a laptop or mobile phone with Power Delivery 3.0 technology with a power output of up to 100W. Connect the USB-C Power Delivery charger to the hub and connect the hub to the laptop. This saves one USB-C port. A prerequisite is a laptop with Power Delivery charging support via the USB-C port and a suitable PD charger.

A high-quality image with up to 4K/60Hz Ultra HD resolution is output from each of the three video outputs (2x HDMI + 1x DisplayPort). High frequencies are also supported for popular gaming resolutions of 2K/144Hz or FullHD/240Hz. The docking station can even provide a resolution of up to 4K/30Hz on each of them when three monitors are connected simultaneously. Thanks to HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, you can enjoy a significantly extended range of colors and contrasts without limitations. For proper video output function, a DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) enabled USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3/4 port is required. Support for the aforementioned maximum supported resolutions and frequencies requires connection to a computer with DisplayPort Version 1.4.

The Gigabit network adapter expands 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 current versions of SD and microSD cards, including SDXC and microSDXC, with a capacity of up to 2TB. High data transfer speed is ensured by the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. The card reader allows simultaneous handling of cards in both slots and direct copying between them.

The robust aluminum housing ensures mechanical resistance and good cooling of the docking station. The wedge shape of the hub favors its use as a laptop stand for better cooling and ergonomic positioning. The optimal length of 40 cm along with the curved connector allows it to be almost completely hidden under the laptop and contributes to the impression of a tidy desk. The USB-C cable is detachable and can be replaced with a longer cable if needed.

Thanks to the Plug-and-Play and Hot-Plug functions, connecting the hub is very easy even without complicated installation, and it is also possible to simply connect and disconnect peripherals while the computer is running.
