USB Type-C hub TP-Link UH7021C — HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 2.0, SD/microSD, 5000 Mbit/s, Aluminium Black

TP-Link UH7021C is a USB Type-C 7-in-1 hub that expands a single USB-C port into HDMI video output, multiple USB ports and SD/microSD card readers. The compact aluminium housing and braided cable provide a durable, portable solution for adding connectivity to laptops, tablets and compatible devices. The hub supports up to 5000 Mbit/s data transfer and HDMI output at 4K (3840×2160) 60 Hz, and is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS, iOS, Android and ChromeOS.

Advantages

The UH7021C combines multiple interfaces in a single aluminium-bodied adapter for a small footprint without external power for most peripherals. It offers a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 connection for fast data transfers, a full-size HDMI port for 4K60 video output, and integrated SD and microSD card slots for direct media access. The plug-and-play design eliminates the need for drivers on mainstream operating systems and the self-storing connector and braided cable increase portability and protection during transport.

How to use

Connect the hub's USB-C plug to a compatible device that supports USB-C host mode. For external displays, connect an HDMI cable from the hub to your monitor or TV; the display should be detected automatically and can be configured in the operating system's display settings. Insert SD or microSD cards into the corresponding slots to access media files via the file manager. Attach USB peripherals such as external storage, keyboard or mouse to the Type-A or Type-C ports. If using power-hungry devices, connect a USB Power Delivery (PD) capable power adapter to the hub's USB-C power input if available to ensure stable operation.

Recommendations

Use high-quality HDMI and USB cables for reliable 4K60 video and maximum data throughput. When transferring large files or using multiple peripherals simultaneously, connect an external power source via USB Power Delivery if your host device or the hub supports PD to avoid power-related interruptions.
