Five-port USB-C hub for laptops

This Thinkstar 5In1 hub turns a single USB-C port into three USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet jack and an 87 W Power Delivery charging port. It is aimed at users who need wired networking and extra peripherals on ultra-portable laptops. All five ports can be used at the same time.

Three USB 3.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet

The three USB 3.0 ports transfer data at up to 5 Gbps and are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. The RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port also supports 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps links for older network gear. The 87 W PD port passes charging power through to the host while data moves.

Check host port and power needs

Verify that your laptop’s USB-C port supports both data and Power Delivery input; some ports only carry video or power. The hub draws its operating power from the host, so the connected charger must supply enough wattage for the laptop plus any bus-powered peripherals.

Questions about this item

Does the acrylic case on this 5In1 hub need any maintenance to keep its thermal dissipation working?

The acrylic case is a passive design with no moving parts or filters, so it does not require scheduled maintenance to maintain heat dissipation.

Which port hits its bandwidth ceiling first when all three USB 3.0 ports and the Gigabit Ethernet are running sustained transfers?

The Gigabit Ethernet link is limited to 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps, so it will reach its ceiling before the USB 3.0 ports that operate up to 5 Gbps.

How much heat does the hub produce when it delivers 87 W PD charging while all data ports are active all day?

The acrylic case provides better thermal dissipation, allowing the hub to run cooler during continuous 87 W charging and simultaneous data traffic.
