TP-Link UH3020C USB Type-C 3-in-1 Hub

Description

The TP-Link UH3020C USB Type-C 3-in-1 Hub is a compact, multiport adapter designed to expand connectivity for USB-C devices such as ultrabooks, Chromebooks, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It transforms a single USB-C port into 3 ports: 4K@60Hz HDMI, 1× USB-A 3.0 data port, and 1× USB-C 3.0 port with 100W Power Delivery (PD), making it suitable for presentations, productivity, and travel. The HDMI 1.4 port supports ultra-high-definition displays (up to 4K@60Hz, backward compatible to 1080p@60Hz), ideal for streaming, gaming, or extending displays to external monitors or projectors. It requires the host USB-C port to support DP Alt Mode for video output, ensuring compatibility with devices like MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Samsung Galaxy.

The USB 3.0 ports (1× USB-A, 1× USB-C) provide 5Gbps SuperSpeed data transfer, 10× faster than USB 2.0, and are backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices, supporting peripherals like external drives, keyboards, or mice. The USB-C PD port supports up to 100W input (~85–90W output due to power loss) for fast charging of laptops or tablets while simultaneously handling data transfer or video output. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers, supporting Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, macOS 10.6 and later, Linux OS, iPadOS, Android, and Chrome OS. The aluminum alloy case with a 100mm braided USB-C cable ensures durability and flexibility, while the compact size (49.7 × 22.5 × 10.5 mm, ~30g) enhances portability for travel or remote work.

Reviews praise its reliable 4K@60Hz output, fast data transfer, and sturdy build, though some users note the short cable length and occasional PD limitations (e.g., reduced output on specific devices like ROG Ally X). Compared to the UH7020C (7-in-1 hub), the UH3020C is more compact with fewer ports, lacking Ethernet and SD/microSD slots but offering essential connectivity. It competes with Anker and Belkin 3-in-1 USB-C hubs but stands out for its braided cable and sleek design. It’s ideal for users needing a minimal, high-quality hub for video, data, and charging.
