USB hub Unitek uHUB S7+ — wired USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 100 W PD, Gigabit Ethernet, 4K support, Space Grey

Unitek uHUB S7+ is a wired USB-C hub that expands a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-C) host port into multiple ports for data, video, network and power. The compact Space Grey aluminium-alloy housing (126 × 57 × 18 mm) integrates a SuperSpeed USB data channel up to 10 Gbps, a dedicated USB-C PD input supporting up to 100 W (20 V/5 A), Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and 4K HDMI video output with HDR and HDCP support. The hub also includes a 3.5 mm audio jack that supports combined audio output and microphone input, and offers plug-and-play operation with backward compatibility for USB 3.0/2.0/1.1.

Advantages

The uHUB S7+ provides multiport expansion in a small footprint, combining high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer, 4K@60Hz HDMI video output and stable Gigabit Ethernet in one unit. A dedicated USB-C PD power pass-through lets you charge a connected laptop or downstream device at up to 100 W while using the hub’s ports. The aluminium-alloy casing improves heat dissipation and durability, and the hub supports DP Alt Mode and connection to Thunderbolt 3 ports for broad device compatibility. Plug-and-play operation removes the need for drivers on most systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or tablets with a USB-C data port to external monitors (4K@60Hz) and wired networks
• Expanding a notebook’s USB ports for external drives, flash drives and peripherals at up to 10 Gbps
• Providing a single-cable docking experience for mobile workstations with PD charging and Ethernet
• Home or office setups that require combined HDMI video, audio I/O and network stability

How to use

Connect the hub’s USB-C host plug to a compatible USB-C port on your laptop or tablet that supports data transfer (and DP Alt Mode for video). If you require laptop charging while using the hub, plug a USB-C PD power adapter into the hub’s PD port; the hub will pass through up to 100 W depending on the adapter and host device capabilities. Attach HDMI displays, USB storage or peripherals to the corresponding ports and connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit LAN port for wired network access. The 3.5 mm jack can be used for headphones or a headset with microphone.

Recommendations

Use a USB-C power adapter that provides sufficient wattage for your laptop to ensure full charging performance; actual PD output depends on the adapter and host. For stable 4K@60Hz video output, use HDMI cables rated for HDMI 2.0 and confirm the host device supports DP Alt Mode at the required resolution. For best network performance, connect to a Gigabit-capable router or switch and ensure drivers or OS updates are applied if the system prompts for Ethernet support.
