acer 6 in 1 USB C Hub with Ethernet, 4K@60Hz
Quick take
This Acer 6-in-1 USB-C hub turns one USB-C port into a practical office-style setup: 4K@60Hz HDMI, gigabit Ethernet (RJ45), two USB-A 3.1 Gen1 ports, one USB-C 3.1 Gen1 data port, and USB-C PD charging. The main catch is that it supports only one external display via HDMI, and the USB-C PD port is charging only, not video or data.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Single HDMI output up to 4K@60Hz (requires compatible DP 1.4 Alt Mode and HDMI 2.0 or higher on your device)
- Built-in gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Mbps), useful for stable meetings and streaming
- USB-C PD input up to 100W, delivering up to 85W output while the hub is in use
- Includes fast peripheral connectivity: 2x USB-A 3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps) plus 1x USB-C 3.1 Gen1 data (5Gbps total data bandwidth)
Cons
- Only one external monitor is supported (no dual-monitor or multi-monitor over this hub)
- USB-C PD port supports charging only, it does not carry video or data
- Reaching full Ethernet speeds depends on CAT6 (or higher) cabling and compatible equipment
What buyers think
Buyer review themes focus on day-to-day convenience and the “everything you need in one plug” feel. Several comments mention it being plug-and-play, compact, and easy to store, with the right mix of HDMI, Ethernet, and USB ports for common laptop setups. There is also recurring satisfaction around its usefulness for adding ports on both laptop and Mac setups, and confidence that it handles Ethernet plus accessories without noticeable overheating.
Buyer-review evidence is still limited for edge cases (for example, wake-from-sleep behavior with displays, or stability under heavy networking), so compatibility outcomes can vary by laptop graphics and power management settings.
What you get and how it works
This hub is designed to expand a single USB-C connection into a complete desk or travel kit:
- Video: one HDMI port supports mirror or extend at up to 4K@60Hz.
- Networking: a built-in RJ45 gigabit Ethernet connection rated for 10/100/1000Mbps.
- Charging: USB-C PD charging, with up to 100W input and up to 85W output to your laptop while other ports are active.
- Data peripherals: 2x USB-A 3.1 Gen1 and 1x USB-C 3.1 Gen1 for devices like keyboards, mice, printers, and flash drives.
4K@60Hz HDMI requirements (important)
To run HDMI at 4K@60Hz, your laptop needs to support the right video alt-mode features. The hub’s 4K@60Hz mode depends on DP 1.4 Alt Mode and your connection path supporting at least HDMI 2.0. If your device does not meet those requirements, you may still get HDMI video, but it may not reach the advertised refresh rate.
Ethernet speed depends on the whole chain
The hub supports gigabit Ethernet, but hitting 1000Mbps requires CAT6 (or higher) Ethernet cabling and compatible networking gear. If you use older cabling or a slower router port, you can expect reduced link speed.
Charging and port limitations
The USB-C PD connection is meant for charging only. The USB-C PD port does not provide video or data. Also, total data throughput for the USB-A and USB-C ports is capped at 5Gbps (so bandwidth is shared across the data ports).
Who this hub is best for
- Home office and hybrid workers who want wired Ethernet plus multiple USB ports without a full docking station
- People using one external monitor and need HDMI up to 4K@60Hz (assuming device compatibility)
- Laptop users who charge via USB-C and want one-cable convenience, with up to 85W output while using peripherals
- Travelers who prefer a compact aluminum hub to add ports on the go
Who should avoid it (or consider a different option)
- Anyone who needs dual monitors. This hub supports only one HDMI-connected display.
- Buyers expecting the USB-C port to carry video. The USB-C PD port is for charging only, and the USB-C data port is for data devices only.
- Users who cannot meet the hub’s video requirements. If your laptop does not support the needed display alt-mode features, you may not be able to hit 4K@60Hz.
Pros and cons recap
- Strong fit: one-monitor setups that benefit from gigabit Ethernet and a mix of USB-A plus USB-C data ports.
- Main tradeoff: no multi-display support and specific requirements for the top-end 4K@60Hz mode.
- Practical value: the combination of Ethernet, HDMI, and up to 85W output charging can reduce the number of adapters you need.
Price and availability
The hub is listed as an in-stock option in the US, with a current price point that positions it as a budget-to-midrange USB-C expansion adapter rather than a full docking station. For the latest price and shipping details, check the live listing.
FAQ
Does this hub support dual monitors?
No. It has a single HDMI output and the USB-C port is for data only. It cannot be used for dual-monitor or multi-monitor setups.
What do I need for 4K at 60Hz?
To get 4K@60Hz, your device needs to support DP 1.4 Alt Mode and you need a display path that supports at least HDMI 2.0.
Will the hub charge my laptop while I’m using it?
Yes. It supports USB-C PD charging with up to 100W input and up to 85W output to your laptop while other ports are in use. You’ll need a 100W (or higher) charger and a compatible cable.
Why isn’t my Ethernet hitting 1Gbps?
Gigabit speeds require CAT6 (or higher) Ethernet cabling and compatible network equipment. If either your cabling or router/switch port is slower, the link speed may be reduced.
Can the USB-C PD port send video or data?
No. The USB-C PD port supports charging only and does not support data or video.
Does it need drivers?
It’s designed to be plug and play, so drivers are typically not required for basic HDMI, Ethernet, and USB peripherals.
