Question 1

Can this hub run a 4K monitor at 60Hz? I’m seeing conflicting info on Reddit.**

Accepted Answer

This hub supports 4K output at 30Hz, not 60Hz. If you’re planning to use it for smooth video editing or high-refresh gaming, you’ll want to look for a hub specifically advertising 4K@60Hz—like Satechi’s models, which several users recommend after switching. For standard office work or watching videos, 30Hz works fine.

Question 2

I keep hearing the Ethernet port drops connection randomly. Is that a common issue?**

Accepted Answer

Some users do report intermittent drops with this hub, especially during large file transfers or long video calls. Many on Reddit found that updating their laptop’s Ethernet drivers or using a powered USB-C cable can help stabilize it. If you rely on a rock-solid wired connection for work calls, you might prefer a higher-end docking station like CalDigit, which has better shielding.

Question 3

Can I charge my 14-inch MacBook Pro through this hub at full speed?**

Accepted Answer

The hub provides 65W Power Delivery, which is enough to charge most 14-inch MacBook Pros during light use. However, if you’re editing video or running heavy software, the laptop might still slowly drain. A few TikTok users noted their M2 MacBook Air charged perfectly, while 16-inch Pro owners saw slower charging. For full-speed charging, consider a 100W hub.

Question 4

Does the extra USB-C port let me plug in an external SSD while charging my laptop?**

Accepted Answer

That USB-C port is for charging only, not for data. Many buyers learned this the hard way. If you need two data USB-C ports, you’ll want a hub with dedicated data+charge ports. The two USB-A ports work fine for flash drives, mice, or keyboards while the laptop charges through the main USB-C cable.

Question 5

This hub gets really hot during use. Is that normal, or should I return it?**

Accepted Answer

A warm hub is normal under load, especially when you’re using Power Delivery and Ethernet at the same time. But if it feels genuinely hot to the touch after 15–20 minutes, that’s a concern some users reported. Ensure it’s on a hard, ventilated surface—not a bed or couch. If the heat bothers you or causes performance glitches, returning it is fair. Many users found the CalDigit TS4 runs much cooler for heavy workloads.
