AXAGON USB-C 6IN1 SATA M.2/0.18M HMC-6M2 Hub

Multiport USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 hub AXAGON HMC-6M2 COMBO 6in1 expands your laptop, computer or phone with four ports and an external enclosure for an M.2 disk.

You can easily and quickly connect up to two USB devices, a Gigabit Ethernet network, an HDMI display, and a SATA M.2 SSD disk to your computer simultaneously via the double-sided USB-C connector. You also have the possibility to supply your laptop using Power Delivery technology at the same time. This USB-C hub provides a simple and compact 6-in-1 docking station for notebooks like the MacBook Pro.

The USB hub offers two USB outputs with standard USB-A connectors. The hub can also handle the permanent simultaneous connection of two external drives. Transfer rates reach up to 5Gb/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface.

The USB-C connector is dedicated to powering up a laptop or mobile phone using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with 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. This requires a laptop with Power Delivery charging support via the USB-C port and a suitable PD charger.

The HDMI output provides high-quality images up to 4K/30Hz Ultra HD resolution and supports multi-channel audio transmission. A USB-C port enabled with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) or a Thunderbolt 3 port is necessary for proper video output function.

The Gigabit network card extends your computer with a fast network connection, adding a missing RJ-45 network connector or another network card. The LAN adapter is compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s speeds and also offers a wide range of functions, such as IPv4/IPv6, crossover detection and auto-correction, Wake-on-LAN, VLAN support, or advanced Power Management features.

You can connect a SATA M.2 SSD drive thanks to the built-in slot on the back. The multiport hub thus becomes an external drive. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided with a size up to 22x80 mm. The external M.2 enclosure has no capacity limitations for SSDs and supports modern functions such as TRIM.

The elegant aluminum body ensures mechanical resistance and quality cooling. The finely structured surface, which leaves no fingerprints, will also please you. This port replicator is an ideal accessory for laptops lacking USB-A connectors, a network card, and video output. It features a fixed 18 cm long USB-C cable.

You can use your current USB peripherals without having to purchase new ones. Thanks to Plug and Play and Hot Plug functions, connecting the hub is very simple without complicated installation. It is also possible to easily connect and disconnect peripherals while the computer is running. The hub is not afraid of connection to phones with a USB-C connector—for example, you can connect a flash drive, keyboard, mouse, display, TV, or projector to the phone.
