11 in 1 USB C Hub Docking Station Adapter CAHUB-CT0G Review – 4K HDMI for MacBook Pro
For weeks, I’ve been putting the 11 in 1 USB C Hub Docking Station Adapter CAHUB-CT0G through its paces. This space grey device promises to be the ultimate solution for expanding the connectivity of my MacBook Pro, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. From its sleek design to its impressive array of ports, this docking station boasts a lot of features. Let’s dive into the details of my experience.
The CAHUB-CT0G truly lives up to its “11 in 1” moniker. It offers a comprehensive suite of ports, including two 4K HDMI ports, a VGA port, three USB 3.0 ports, a 100W USB-C power delivery port, an SD/TF card reader, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Additionally, it includes a 3.5mm audio jack for headset use. The inclusion of both SD and TF card slots is a particularly nice touch for those who work with multiple memory cards.
The build quality feels solid and premium, with a nice weight that suggests durability. The space grey finish is stylish and unobtrusive.
The performance of the CAHUB-CT0G has been largely excellent. I’ve successfully run two 4K monitors simultaneously at 30Hz, with no noticeable lag or drop in performance. The USB 3.0 ports offer fast data transfer speeds, and the Gigabit Ethernet connection provides a stable and speedy internet connection. The 100W power delivery kept my MacBook Pro charged without issue, even with multiple peripherals connected. The SD/TF card reader’s speed was also impressive, almost instantaneous.
My only minor gripe is that while the triple display functionality works, the resolution drops to 1080p when using the VGA port, as noted in the specifications. This is not a deal-breaker for me, but it’s important to note for those needing maximum resolution across all three displays. Also, the MacOS mirror mode is a limitation worth mentioning.
Pros:
- Extensive port selection
- Excellent 4K HDMI support (dual 4K@30Hz)
- Fast data transfer speeds
- Stable Gigabit Ethernet connection
- 100W Power Delivery
- Solid build quality
- Plug and Play functionality
Cons:
- Resolution limitations when using VGA port alongside HDMI
- MacOS mirror mode limitation for triple display
Overall, the 11 in 1 USB C Hub Docking Station Adapter CAHUB-CT0G is a highly versatile and capable device. Its extensive port selection, high-speed data transfer, and 100W power delivery make it a great choice for anyone needing to expand the connectivity of their USB-C laptop. While the resolution limitations on triple display and MacOS limitations exist, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I highly recommend it to power users and professionals who require a reliable and feature-rich docking solution.
