Plugable USB C Hub Multiport Adapter 140W Power Delivery Charging 4K 60Hz HDMI For USBC USB4 Thunderbolt MacBook Windows Chromebook (USBC-9IN1E)
Overview
The Plugable USBC-9IN1E is a 9-in-1 USB-C/USB4/Thunderbolt-compatible multiport hub built for power users who need desktop-class connectivity from a single cable. It combines a 4K@60Hz HDMI output, dual 10Gbps USB data ports (one USB-C and two USB-A including a BC 1.2 charging port), SD and microSD UHS-II card readers, Gigabit Ethernet and a high-capacity 140W EPR pass-through PD system that delivers up to 125W to your laptop. That high-power pass-through makes this hub a rare option for feeding and docking power-hungry laptops like MacBook Pro and Framework 16 without a separate docking station. It’s aimed at mobile professionals, content creators, and hybrid workers who need fast storage access, wired networking, and reliable charging from one compact adapter.
Key Features
- 4K@60Hz HDMI output — supports external displays up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz (requires host DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt/USB4).
- 140W EPR pass-through Power Delivery — accepts up to 140W input and delivers up to 125W to the connected laptop for powering demanding systems.
- 10Gbps USB ports — includes a 10Gbps USB-C port and two 10Gbps USB-A ports (one USB-A supports BC 1.2 charging) for high-speed external storage.
- SD and microSD UHS-II card readers — native card slots for fast transfer of photos and video files from cameras and drones.
- Gigabit Ethernet port — 1 Gbps wired networking for stable, low-latency connections in offices and hotels.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- True 140W EPR pass-through charging (provides up to 125W to host) supports high-power laptops without a second dock.
- 4K@60Hz HDMI output for crisp external display support (requires host DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt/USB4).
- Multiple 10Gbps ports (USB-C and USB-A) let you connect fast external SSDs and backup drives.
- UHS-II SD and microSD card readers offer faster transfer speeds for photographers and video creators.
- Built-in Gigabit Ethernet adds reliable wired networking where Wi‑Fi is unreliable or restricted.
Cons
- Video output requires a host with DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt/USB4 — older USB-C ports may not support 4K@60Hz.
- Only a single HDMI port — limited for multi-monitor setups without additional adapters or displays.
- Although the hub accepts 140W input, it supplies up to 125W to the laptop; extremely high-wattage charging profiles above 125W may not reach full original charger speeds.
- BC 1.2 charging is available only on one USB-A port, so other ports do not provide fast charging for legacy devices.
Recommendations
- Mobile professionals and consultants who need one connector to add wired Ethernet, external displays, and fast storage while charging a high-power laptop.
- Photographers and videographers who use UHS-II SD/microSD cards and want fast on-location transfers to external drives.
- Small-office or home-office users who want a compact docking solution with reliable Gigabit Ethernet and a single HDMI monitor connection.
- Owners of power-hungry laptops such as the MacBook Pro or Framework 16 who need higher pass-through charging without a bulky dedicated dock.
