UGREEN USB-C hub 10 Gbps
Product description
If you work with a USB-C laptop or desktop and often run short of ports, this UGREEN hub is designed to add four USB-C connections in a compact format. It also supports pass-through charging, so you can keep a compatible laptop powered while connecting data devices rather than choosing between the two.
Its 1 ft cable gives you some room to position the hub, though the feature details set clear boundaries on what those extra ports do.
How to use it
Connect the hub to a USB-C or Thunderbolt device, then use its ports for compatible USB-C data connections. The supplied description says it is plug and play, with no extra drivers or software required, and lists support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS, iOS and Android. Compatibility still depends on the host device having a suitable USB-C connection.
The advertised data rate is up to 10 Gbps, which may appeal if you regularly move sizeable files and want more than a basic, slower USB connection. For example, you could connect USB-C data devices at a desk, transfer work files, and use pass-through charging at the same time. But do you need a hub for a monitor as well? This one’s data ports do not support video transfer, so it should not be treated as a display adapter or full docking station.
Pros
- Four USB-C ports provide extra connections in a compact hub.
- Data transfer is specified at up to 10 Gbps.
- Pass-through charging is supported while transferring data.
- Plug-and-play operation is listed for a range of operating systems.
- The 1 ft cable offers more placement flexibility than a hub that connects directly to a device.
The main limitation is that the data ports do not provide Power Delivery to peripherals, and they cannot carry video. That makes this a more focused choice than a multiport dock built for monitors and varied connection types. It may suit someone who mainly needs USB-C data connections, it is less suitable if the goal is one hub for displays, charging accessories and several kinds of ports.

One detail deserves attention before choosing a charger: the product name refers to 95W charging, while the feature description says up to 100W pass-through. Those figures differ, so don’t rely on either as a guaranteed charging rate for your particular setup. The description also does not specify which connected devices or configurations reach the stated maximum.
My take
It suits you if your priority is adding USB-C data ports to a compatible laptop or desktop, with pass-through charging available for the host device. The compact format and 1 ft cable make it a practical desk or travel accessory when you don’t need video output. No es para ti si you need display support, Power Delivery for peripherals, or the broader mix of connections offered by a full docking station. In that case, a more feature-rich dock is the more relevant type of purchase, this hub makes sense when its narrower USB-C data role matches how you actually work.
