The USB-C landscape is crowded, but this silver 5-in-1 hub, model number 15495, promises a compelling combination of power delivery, video output, and data transfer capabilities. After extensive testing across various devices, including my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and even a Windows laptop, I’m ready to share my thoughts.

This USB-C hub boasts a comprehensive feature set. It includes a 100W Power Delivery (PD) port for charging your laptop, a 4K@30Hz HDMI port for video output, and three USB 3.0 data transfer ports (two USB 3.0 and one USB 3.0). The aluminum casing feels premium and robust. The small, compact form factor is excellent for portability. The manufacturer claims simultaneous operation of all ports; I put this to the test.

The 100W PD charging worked flawlessly with my MacBook Pro, consistently delivering full power. The HDMI output provided crisp, clear 4K video at 30Hz, without any noticeable lag or artifacts. The USB 3.0 ports transferred data at speeds very close to the advertised 5Gbps. I was able to transfer large files, including 4K videos, in a matter of seconds. Even with all ports in use concurrently (charging the MacBook Pro, streaming 4K video, and transferring files on multiple drives), the hub showed no signs of overheating, thanks to the aluminum shell design.

Compatibility was also a strong point. It worked seamlessly with all my devices. The plug-and-play functionality was a boon, with no drivers needed. I did notice slightly slower transfer speeds on a couple of occasions. However, these occurrences were rare and infrequent.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: 100W PD charging, 4K@30Hz HDMI output, fast USB 3.0 data transfer, compact and portable design, aluminum construction, excellent compatibility across operating systems.
• Cons: Occasional minor slowdown in data transfer speeds (rare).

Overall, the USB-C Hub Model 15495 offers an impressive blend of functionality and performance. The 100W PD charging, 4K HDMI output, and multiple USB 3.0 ports make it a versatile solution for various needs. While there were occasional minor hiccups in data transfer speed, they were insignificant compared to the overall positive experience. If you need a reliable and versatile USB-C hub, this one is a strong contender. I highly recommend it.
