The Plugable Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 Hub with 60W Charging Delivers More Power to the Power User

Thunderbolt 4 and USB4
The Plugable Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 Hub with 60W Charging (TBT4-HUB3C) delivers an experience that you won’t find anywhere else. All of your devices—Thunderbolt 4, USB4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB-C—will automatically work at their peak potential as supported by the host. Everything you need for an excellent Windows or Macbook Pro Hub. Here’s something you might not find with other hubs, an included USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter simplifies connecting an additional monitor, and the included 80cm (2.6ft) Thunderbolt 4 cable gives you more flexibility to set up your desk.

Built for Performance
The TBT4-HUB3C is designed for speed–data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps, power–60W charging to keep your battery topped off, and dependability–built and tested to comply with Plugable’s highest quality standards. And when you don’t need data, it even works as a standalone charging hub.

Riding the Ridge
You didn’t buy a high-performance laptop to settle for a low-performance USBC dock. Leveraging the flexibility of the Goshen Ridge chip, each Thunderbolt port instantly and automatically adapts to your computer. Connecting to an M1 Mac? Get a one-cord connection to your USB-C and Thunderbolt devices, like a 4K display, and two Thunderbolt 3 SSDs–each reaching multi-gig transfer speeds. Switching to a Dell XPS with Thunderbolt 4 ports? Use the same one-cord connection for identically fast results, or swap one of the SSDs for a second 4K display. The seamless compatibility goes in reverse, too. On older USB-C systems, the TBT4-HUB3C adjusts to deliver the maximum performance supported by your laptop.
