UGREEN 7-in-1 USB-C Hub (Model 60515) Review: 4K@60Hz & Gigabit Ethernet
The UGREEN 7-in-1 USB-C Hub (Model 60515, also known as CM512) promises a comprehensive expansion solution for your USB-C devices. This review details my experience using this hub, encompassing its various features, performance in real-world scenarios, and overall value.
This compact hub boasts an impressive array of features, including a 4K@60Hz HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports, an SD and TF card reader, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. The inclusion of 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging is a significant advantage, ensuring your device remains powered even while utilizing the hub’s multiple peripherals. The grey color is understated and professional-looking, fitting seamlessly into any workspace.
I tested the hub extensively, connecting various devices including a 4K monitor, external hard drive, keyboard, mouse, and wired network connection. The 4K@60Hz HDMI output delivered consistently sharp visuals without any noticeable lag. The Gigabit Ethernet port provided a stable and fast network connection, significantly faster than Wi-Fi in my tests. The USB 3.0 ports delivered excellent data transfer speeds, easily handling large file transfers. The SD and TF card readers worked flawlessly with both SD and MicroSD cards. The 100W Power Delivery pass-through kept my MacBook Pro fully charged while using all the hub’s ports simultaneously. The hub’s build quality felt solid and robust, inspiring confidence in its long-term durability.
While performance was generally excellent, I did notice a slight decrease in the charging speed of my MacBook Pro when using the hub at full capacity. While it still charged, it wasn’t as fast as when charging directly.

The combination of 4K@60Hz video output, Gigabit Ethernet, fast USB 3.0 ports, and convenient card readers makes it a versatile and powerful hub.
