Axagon HMC-5HL USB 5Gbps hub, 2x USB-A, HDMI 4k/60Hz, RJ-45, PD 100W, 20cm USB-C cable

The multi-port USB-C 5Gbps hub AXAGON HMC-5HL expands your laptop with five ports. You can easily and quickly connect a monitor, two USB devices and a Gigabit Ethernet network to the computer at the same time via the double-sided USB-C connector. You also get the possibility to supply laptop using Power Delivery technology. The USB-C hub will provide you with a universal and powerful 5in1 docking station for modern laptops.

The USB hub offers two USB outputs with standard USB-A connectors. The hub can also handle permanent connection of several external drives simultaneously. Transfer rate up to 5Gb/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. The hub will also enable charging of phones and tablets with a current of up to 1.5A/5V, so you can easily charge e.g. Android smartphone, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad etc.

The USB-C connector is reserved only for powering and simultaneous charging of laptops using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with a power of up to 100W. Connect the USB-C Power Delivery charger to the hub and connect the hub to the laptop. This saves one USB-C port. The condition is a laptop with Power Delivery charging support from the USB-C port and a suitable PD charger.

HDMI video output provides high-quality images up to 4K/60Hz Ultra HD resolution. High frequencies at popular gaming resolutions of 2K/144Hz or FullHD/240Hz are also supported. Thanks to HDR (high dynamic range) support, you can enjoy a significantly expanded range of colors and contrasts without restrictions. DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) enabled USB-C port or Thunderbolt 3/4 port is necessary for the proper function of video output.

Gigabit network card extends your computer by a fast and stable network connection, adds the missing RJ-45 network connector or another network card.

The aluminum cover ensures mechanical durability and cooling of the USB hub. Thanks to the Plug and Play and Hot Plug functions, connecting the hub itself is very simple without complicated installation, and peripherals can also be easily connected and disconnected while the computer is running.

How to use

Connect the hub to a USB‑C port on your laptop or tablet that supports the required functions. For video output, use a host USB‑C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) or a Thunderbolt 3/4 port and ensure the operating system and graphics drivers support DP1.4 to reach the maximum resolutions and refresh rates. Plug an HDMI cable from the hub to an external monitor, connect RJ‑45 for wired network access, and attach USB‑A peripherals or external drives to the SuperSpeed ports. To charge the host device, connect a PD‑capable USB‑C wall charger to the hub’s USB‑C PD port; the hub will pass power to the laptop up to 100 W if the laptop supports PD charging.

Recommendations

Use a laptop USB‑C port with DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt and keep system graphics drivers updated to ensure full video functionality. For reliable charging at the maximum 100 W rate, use a PD 3.0 compatible charger and confirm the laptop supports PD input from its USB‑C port.
