Anker 553 USB-C Hub, 8-in-1 USB C Dock for MacBook Pro, XPS and More

Anker's PowerExpand line of hubs and docks offers a seamless tech experience with zero restrictions. Designed to provide the convenience and versatility you need, these products don't just power up your devices - they elevate your digital lifestyle.

The PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub is a prime example. This compact yet capable hub transforms a single USB-C port into a veritable command center, equipping you with a robust array of connectivity options.

With dual HDMI ports, you can stream or mirror content to two displays simultaneously in stunning 4K resolution. The hub's universal SD and microSD card slots make accessing photos, videos, and other media a breeze. And for high-speed data transfer, the dual USB-A ports deliver up to 5 Gbps.

But the true power of this hub lies in its charging capabilities. Supporting up to 85W of Power Delivery, it can charge a 15-inch MacBook Pro at full speed - all while you take advantage of the hub's other functions. Just be sure to use a 100W PD wall charger and a USB-C to C cable.

Determining the DisplayPort (DP) version of your device is crucial to getting the most out of the PowerExpand hub. Windows users can check their CPU generation, while Mac users can consult a list of compatible models. This information will help you maximize the hub's 4K@60Hz or 4K@30Hz dual-display capabilities.

It's important to note that macOS and iPadOS only support Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode, so connected displays will mirror each other. Windows, on the other hand, supports both SST and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) modes.

As for charging, the hub can't provide pass-through charging to tablets or phones when using the original wall charger that came with your mobile device. To support full-speed charging for an iPad Pro, you'll need an adapter that supports at least 15V (45W).

Despite its impressive features, the PowerExpand hub may get warm when under heavy load, reaching a surface temperature of around 131°F. However, this is normal for products of this kind.

Anker's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is evident in the PowerExpand line. Each hub comes with a worry-free 18-month warranty and friendly customer service, so you can enjoy your tech experience with confidence.

Whether you're a professional on the go, a student juggling multiple devices, or a tech-savvy home user, the PowerExpand 8-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub is a versatile companion that can help you stay connected, productive, and entertained.
