StarTech 4-Port USB-C Hub, 10Gbps, DP Alt Mode 4K 60Hz, 100W PD, Driverless

I have this hooked up to my Steam Deck, with a mouse, keyboard, and portable monitor. With the correct cables and strong enough power supply it works perfectly and connects to my 1440p portable monitor while charging the device at the same time. I also have this hooked up to my laptop with the same peripherals and haven't noticed any issues (unlike some Dell docks that constantly disconnect.) My only issue is it has 3 USB A ports, I would have preferred an extra non DP alt mode USB C port but it is what it is. Overall, very much worth it. Great value in comparison to the official Steam Deck Dock if you are looking for something that is more portable and cheaper than equivalents (something like a Thunderbolt 4 dock/hub)

Having got an ASUS MB16ACV (a USB C portable monitor) I had the problem that I couldn't use it with my Samsung Tab S7 plus as it wasn't providing the power. Adapters that pass through alt DP over USB C and have a power input seem very rare, this device looked like the perfect answer but initially it didn't work. I had an Anker USB C cable that worked from the laptop to my screen but nothing from this device, so initially assumed problem with the adapter, however I saw that it said 10Gpbs on the video output port of the adapter so wondered if it was fussy about the cable, even though it doesn't need that fast. I bought a 10Gbps cable (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09J9BXFFD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) and it works perfectly. So if you are struggling to get it to work, consider a newer cable before giving up. It also works with my Xperia 1 VI, although currently screen output is vertical (hopefully just need to find right config). It's a bit expensive but if you are trying to solve the same problem as me, it does the job.

I bought this hub a while back when it first came out to connect my USB-C device to a USB-C monitor, and it’s been fantastic. The 3 USB-A ports handle peripherals effortlessly, and the USB-C port with DP Alt Mode delivers flawless video output while also charging my device. The design is compact and sturdy, but the non-removable cable is a drawback—it limits flexibility and makes replacement impossible. Despite this, it’s a reliable hub with excellent connectivity. Would have been 5 stars if the cable were detachable!

I have user this to extend my laptop screen to my dual monitor and this has worked all time. Both for video graphics and charging the laptop. Very great value for money and an everyday life saver. I an work anywhere I want now

It stopped working after 1 day.

First of all, now my iPad Pro can finally link to a portable USB-C monitor, while charging my iPad Pro. With Apple Magic Keyboard, the power supply is not enough if iPad Pro is used to power the monitor, and you are watching movie and playing game at the same time. I tested with 1080p 15.6 inch portable monitor, with games that can even overheat my iPad if I set graphic to high or run with 120 fps (well, I guess most of you can guess which 2 games I am talking about). Anyway, it is sad that in the market, so hard to find a usb-c hub with usb-c video output. What I am looking for is a usb-c hub with, let's say, 2 usb-c video output, and in total 6 usb-c port. Thunderbolt 4 hub is too expensive, and a lot of ports that I am not using at all! Like USB-A, HDMI ... Hopefully in the coming years, when more and more USB-C devices available, we will see some value-for-money usb-c hub with usb-c video output. Update 1: Well, it is not working well with a 4k external monitor. My iPad can power it without this hub, but with this hub it only last 15 mins, then no longer works. So if you are only working with 1080p, or maybe 2k, then no problem, but 4k level … eventually it will not work. And from the actual size, it is pretty mini, so it is understandable that it might break when approaching the maximum capacity. Furthermore, instead of charging iPad and using this hub to power monitor, why not power USB-C monitor and using monitor to power iPad? Once I realised that, there is only one answer left for what I should do: grab a portable monitor with 2 full usb-c port.

This isn't cheap and there are similar things available at much lower price. But the power pass through is useful and the additional USB-A slots are great if travelling with just your laptop. I also have a ugreen usb-c which arguably offers more connection options at a lower price. I still feel this to be a great device however.

Occasionally decides one usb portable just wont work and make a very electrical hissing sound. Have to swap to a different port. Same issue with different devices and power delivery methods. Overpriced as with all startech products.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem "günstigen" USBc Hub, welcher einerseits einen Power Delivery Eingang besitzt und andererseits ein USBc Ausgang hat, welcher DP Video alt Modus unterstützt, das Video Signal des USBc Host also durchschleift. Die Suche sollte sich als sehr schwierig erweisen, was man eigentlich nicht erwarten würde. Es gibt zwar USB 4.0 Hubs die diese Funktion bieten, diese kosten aber zwischen 200 bis 400 Eur. Dieser Hub hier scheint der einzige zu sein, den ich gefunden habe, der unter 100Eur kostet und diese Funktion bietet. Getestet an einem USBc Port eines N100 Mini PC (Chuwi Larkbox X 2023). Funktioniert reibungslos. Man braucht somit nur ein Kabel, welches man an den Mini PC ansteckt, so dass er gleichzeitig mit Strom versorgt wird und auch das Video Signal ausgibt über USBc. An den Hub wird dann ein USBc PD Netzteil angeschlossen und noch ein weiteres USBc Kabel, welches ich an einen portablen USBc Monitor anschließe.

Permet d’alimenter un écran externe depuis un IPad air M2 via USB C et alimenter l’Ipad sur secteur. Pas facile à trouver un Hub avec un port usbc vidéo output. Je recommande.

Ondersteund geen data via de VIDEO OUT modus mijn scherm met touchscreen werkt wel, maar touchscreen niet, zonder de hub rechtstreeks usb c kabel werkt touchscreen wel, erg jammer

Finding a USB C dock/hub that supports power delivery and DP Alt Mode for USB C monitors is challenging. This is one of those devices. My goal was to use the Lenovo M14T portable monitor with my Samsung phone in DeX mode and still have the ability to plug in a USB super-speed device (keyboard, mouse, etc.) or three. This dock delivered. I hope to forego my laptop and use the portable monitor with my phone, saving a lot of weight.

Works great! I mainly use it for my Steam Deck so I can plug in a portable usb-c screen (when traveling) or HDMI screen, keyboard, mouse, and usb controllers. It properly activates the screen when the Steam Deck gets turned on, unlike the Dell dock I was using previously. I never had a single issue, it has worked perfect every time. I can plug usb-c power into it to charge the steam deck while using it. It does everything I need.
