Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very useful device , Convenient for home & travel use. Worth every penny in my opinion as I travel a good amount , love the fact that it comes with a built in smaller usb-C and a longer cord for all your needs.

TLDR: (that’s Too Long, Didn’t Read) For its size, this compact USB-C hub has a TON of useful ports. It allows power pass-through for up to 100W which can charge your iPad or most Macs. It has a convenient short USB-C cable that stores in the case, but that cable limits flexibility. Pros: * Great build quality with a metal shell. * TONS of ports; USB-C, USB-A, Ethernet, HDMI, VGA and memory card slots for both Regular and MicroSD. * Pass-through charging for iPads and most Macs. * Short USB-C cable stores in the unit for convenience. * Longer USB-C cable included. * Perfect color/texture match to Apple Space Gray. Cons: * The short USB-C cable is flat and not flexible side-to-side which limits the unit’s placement relative to your devices. Summary: If you have a tablet, phone or computer with a USB-C port, chances are this great travel hub will allow you connect a myriad of things to it. I won’t get into the specs because those are evident in the product description, but suffice to say that there is a port on this hub for just about anything you’d like to connect. I especially like the MicroSD card slot so I can easily import photos from a camera without needing to find an SD-to-MicroSD adapter. All of the ports are clearly labeled and there is plenty of space between them to easily get your fingers around the plug for insertion or removal. You do have to pay attention to the orientation of the plug, though. For example, the HDMI plug is inserted with the up side of the cable matching the top of the hub, whereas the VGA cable is inserted upside down with its “top” surface facing down. This is really minor but something to be aware of. Another thing of note is that the HDMI and the VGA will typically be used for monitors, but come out of different sides of the hub. This means that if you are connecting to two monitors (one HDMI and one VGA), the cables will be coming out of different sides of the hub which might make cable routing a bit messy. The unit does get warm to the touch when being taxed, but the metal case helps dissipate that heat. The box includes two USB-C cables; a long braided one and a shorter flat one that stores in the case itself. That shorter cable is really convenient to use for attaching the hub to your tablet or computer, but it is flat and doesn’t flex side-to-side. This means that the hub needs to extend straight out from your device’s USB-C port which may not be the best place for the hub. Of course, you can always use a different USB-C cable for this, but that negates the benefit of having that shorter cable which stores in the dock. This hub is not really intended to be kept plugged in as a long-term dock. Rather, it is best when used for temporary connections which traveling. As such, it really does its job well and is very easy to carry and hook up. If it meets your connectivity needs, you’ll be happy with the features, size and convenience this hub offers.

This adapter, as named, is aimed at having one adapter to connect nearly anything you need to your laptop while traveling. It can be used as an at-home docking station, but there are some limits. The appearance and build quality are top-notch. It’s a space grey, solid aluminum block with connections on all four sides. It’s a bit on the large side, but that’s due to the 10 ports and a storage bay for the 4” flat cable. A separate 1-meter cable is included, and both are USB-C to USB-C. Connections not common to small adapters are an ethernet jack and a VGA port as well as both micro and full-size SD card slots. Add those to 2 USB-A ports, 1 USB-C data port, 1 HDMI 4K connection, a 100W USB power pass-through port, and you have the Swiss Army knife of adapters. I’ve seen some questions about why the VGA port? However, road warriors can attest that there are still VGA connections out there in real-world conference and meeting rooms. There are only a couple of drawbacks I’ve encountered that address why the “On-the-Go” is not an ideal desk-based docking station. With high-speed external SSD’s, my data transfer rate was more than cut in half compared to directly connecting to my laptop. Also, the 100W power pass-through is throttled back by some manufacturers. My Dell XPS dropped its charging rate from 130W down to 75W, not the potential 100W, and my Dell Inspiron dropped from 90W to 65W. This isn’t the fault of the Satechi unit, but due to the limits placed by laptop manufactures when not using their proprietary chargers or docking stations. Under heavy use, the slower rate may or may not keep up, but it’s way more than enough for less power-hungry laptops like my Surface Laptop GO (pictured). This is a quality adapter by one of the best in the business. It’s built to provide every connection you might need while away from home bundled in one compact unit. If that’s your need, you can’t beat it.

I use this on my MacBook Pro 16” with M1chip. No need to download anything at all. Has its own cable on it. Also is USB C outlet to computer. I do feel like this item is overpriced for what you need it for.

USB-C on the go multiport adapter is a great addition to anyone looking to connect multiple devices on their latest MacBook, iPad, or any slim laptops. This adapter/hub offers HDMI with a max resolution of 4K @60Hz, 100W USB-C PD passthrough charging for charging most laptops (need your own power brick connected to the hub), Gigabit Ethernet port, 2 USB-A 3.0 ports, USB-C data port, microSD / SD card reader slot and a VGA port (up to 1080p@60Hz). What really differentiates this product from other cheaper ones with same specs at lower price is the build quality (aluminum)and the inbuilt hideaway USB-C cable for connecting on the go. This product comes with 2 USB C to USB C. One is small cable that hideaway in the body for compact/ portability. Other cable is a long(1m) for connecting your laptops at your desk. This is a great addition to my workspace where I paired it with my gaming laptop(Z14) and Samsung 49-inch monitor that gives the convenience of connecting multiple peripherals like webcam, external hard drive for backup, and transferring pictures from camera’s SD card for content creations. I also take this hub during my travel where it fits easy without having to carry extra usb-c cable. Works great with M1 MacBook air, Chromebook, Microsoft Surface Pro-X, new iPad that was tested. Only con is this hub does not support multiple HDMI monitors and will mirror and not extend your display if connected through HDMI and VGA port. VGA port has come handy for me at work conference rooms to connect the projector once.

PROS: - Comes with two USB-C to USB-C cords. One is long at 3.28 feet the other is short at ~3 inches. The one that is short slides into the device making it ultra-portable. - Good selection of ports. All of them work well and are quickly recognized even when everything is plugged in at the same time. But they do report that “USB devices should not exceed an input current of 900mA”. - No software needed! - HDMI supports 4k60Hz (I believe HDMI 2.0). I was able to get 2k@144Hz on my monitor and 4K60Hz (non-HDR) on my HDR 4KTV that supports up to 120 Hz. You can Extend your laptop screen as well so you can use both at the same time at different resolutions and bit depth. - I was able to plug in wireless gaming mouse, Micro SD card, SD card, USB thumb drive, USB-C iPad data port, HDMI (2k144Hz) monitor, and USB C to Lightning to charge my phone without any issues (other than it getting quite hot). - Aluminum body feels sturdy with no creaking or issues. Ports don’t wiggle and have a satisfying feel when plugging things in and aren’t super tight but aren’t loose either. It’s small and lightweight making it very portable. Can fit in your pocket. - I like that there is an ethernet port. As most laptops these days don’t have that and sometimes plugging directly in is appreciated. Especially, if you have a gaming laptop and want the best internet performance. - Used it on two laptops, a Chromebook, and an iPad without any issues. - With PC’s having less and less ports it’s nice to have options to expand them. Still don’t enjoy that I must go down that route though. - USB-C PD Port can either work as a port to charge a device (phone) or can be used to charge the device it’s connected to (laptop) up to 100W. Or you can plug in a charger to the USB-C PD port, then use the other USB-C port to transfer data while charging your phone, while also charging your laptop. Which is awesome. - Some users will be stoked to have a legacy VGA port that supports up to 1080p along with other modern age tech. - Was able to get 4k60Hz on two laptops and a middle/upper tier Chromebook. But had to manually change to 60 Hz from 30 Hz. With no trailing or issues. CONS: - When you have everything plugged in at once the Satechi device gets quite warm/hot. To the point I went “hmm, probably shouldn’t put this on something that could melt.” The operating temperature is 85 – 125F. But when you only have a couple things plugged it doesn’t even get warm. If it does only mildly so. - When using VGA, you can only mirror the device and not extend it. Can only do the same thing at the same resolution mirroring each other. - Would have preferred the VGA port be something else. As I think the use case for that is limited. But it is nice to see in case you are plugging something into a legacy device or a projector. Especially, since finding anything modern that supports VGA is difficult. Top: 1.

**What’s In the Box** User Manual 9-in-1 Multiport Adapter 4” usb-c cable 39.5” usb-c cable **Ports** 1 HDMI 4K at 60Hz 1 VGA 1080p 1 usb-c PD (up to 100 watts) 1 usb-c data (does not support charging or video) 2 usb-A 3.0 1 SD slot 1 micro SD slot 1 Ethernet **My Thoughts** I have a Dell XPS 13” laptop. While I like it’s ultra portability, it only has two usb-c ports, one of which is a thunderbolt 3 port. The Satechi usb-c On-the-Go Multiport adapter provides the expansion ports that I need to connect peripherals. I’ve been using the Satechi multiport for the past several days, putting it through its paces on 9 hour workdays connected to the ethernet, a portable scanner, an external monitor, and a thumb drive all the while being powered through the laptop’s power charger connected via the usb-c PD port. I don’t have any complaints. It works as designed. It has performed nearly flawlessly. There was only one hiccup that I experienced in all the days I was using it. It failed to communicate with my external monitor which was connected via the hdmi port. I simply unplugged the hdmi cable from the multiport and re-plugged it back in and it worked again. Again, it only happened one time, so I’m not sure if the problem was with the multiport adapter or my laptop. Here are some of the other things I like about the Satechi adapter: +Compact Design: As you can see in the photograph, it fits in the palm of my hand. +Well Thought Out Cable Management: The short 4” usb-c cable tucks away entirely within the chassis of the adapter. +Quality usb-c cable: The 39” long cable is thick and sturdy And some of the things I didn’t like: -It gets very warm, but I suppose that is expected since it is drawing power through the device -It can only support one external display at a time. If you have two external monitors connected, one with the VGA port and the other with the hdmi port, it will only mirror content. **Do I recommend it?** If you’re using an ultra portable laptop like me and have peripherals to connect to, then it is necessary to purchase a multiport adapter like this Satechi adapter. The online marketplace is saturated with these adapters. At the price point the Satechi adapter is being sold for at msrp, it is an expensive proposition. However, if you can get it on sale at Best Buy, then it is worth considering.

As much I enjoyed using my MacBook Air M1, the lack of ports can be a bummer sometimes. With just 2 ports it doesn’t take much to utilize both for charging and displaying to an external monitor. It’s an inconvenience having to unplug one of them to connect my external drive or USB receiver for my keyboard and mouse. The Satechi USB C on the go multiport adapter is the solution to my port problems. A quick rundown of the specs: 1x HDMI port supports up to 4K 60hz 1x VGA port supports up to 1080P 1x USB C Port with PD charging up to 100W (15W is used to power the adapter) 1x Gigabit Ethernet Port 2x Full-size USB A 3 Ports for Data only 1x USB C for Data only Micro/SD Card reader slots One of the features I like is the ability to disconnect the USB C cable and store it away within the adapter. A longer cable is included in case it’s needed. Not only do I like this for portability but for longevity too. With multi-port adapters that have the cable attached you end up being at the mercy of the cable. When the cable goes out you end up with a paper-weight adapter. Having the flexibility of using the short or long cable is a big plus for me since depending on where I’m stationed, there are times a longer cable would have been handy. I had no issues using the adapter with my MacBook Air M1 to connect my external 24inch monitor (1080p @ 165hz support too), USB receiver for my MX Keyboard and Mouse, external drive while it was charging my device at full speed. The same setup also worked on my Windows laptop. I was able to confirm that it worked with my iPad Mini 6 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Tab S7+ with Dex Support. Now the adapter did get slightly warm but nothing to the point of concern when it was charging my devices like the MacBook and Windows laptop. One of the features I wasn’t able to test was the VGA port. To be honest I’m still trying to find a reason that would be needed to be used now that most of the displays out there have transitioned over to HDMI and DVI out. Instead of a VGA port, I would of prefer to have seen another HDMI port to drive 2 monitors or a headphone jack. Overall I was very satisfied with the Satechi adapter. It has a high-end look to it that looks like it was made from Apple itself. The color almost matches my Space Gray MacBook. It also comes in slightly cheaper compared to other multi-port adapters around this price range. “Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.

Satechi is by far the premier brand in this product line of ports, adapters card readers and docks and was an early pioneer of the type C. They are great at finding what people need and designing a product that fits like a glove. I own a bunch of different docks and card readers over the years but there is no match in the quality of product, the premium materials and the sleek well thought through design of the product. You see this again in this little beauty of a multiport. The small usb c chord that literally slides and locks into the unit itself and pulls out to plug the dock into the laptop is genuinely perfect. It also comes with a longer one as well. I guess I just got so used to either having to pack along a cable or just accepted that device was just gonna have a long dongle hanging from the side to plug into the computer. We’ll guess what…it doesn’t have to. Satechi said…lets make it a sleek part of the unit that disappears till you need it. I didn’t even know how much I would love that feature. I carry this to work with my laptop everyday. I don't use my laptop everyday but more times than not. It is so nice to have this all in one unit that has it's cable on board to throw in my bag and always ready for what ever multimedia I will need! I have a Surface laptop that does not have an HDMI. Not usually a problem but every now and then I would love to port that out to a large TV in a conference room via HDMI and now I have that plus plenty of USB ports and even an ole VGA if needed!!!! I also like that you can charge on one of the powered USB c ports to charge your headphones or phone ect. Nice touch. This is a perfect blend of form and function! Great docking station as well. It can do it all!!!

Very cool little device. I won't get into what it has regarding ports since the product description does a great job at that already... But I will comment on the fact that it has an aluminum body so certainly has a look and feel that is far above ad beyond it's plastic competitors. Packaging was crisp, protective, clean and simple. Unboxing included the unit, a small USB C to C chord that conveniently is stored in the body of the unit. It also includes a longer USB C/C cable as well. The longer cable is thick and also has a high quality feel. The only ever-so-slight knock (and yes, it is very small) is that the longer cable has thicker ends where you plug it in so if you have a tight phone case, it may be just slightly too large to fit. Certainly nowhere near a deal breaker, just an observation. If you are a frequent traveler who ever finds themselves whishing you had item XXXX on you, this is a great little tool. I would recommend to a friend without any hesitation. **PLEASE NOTE** This was provided to me at no or reduced cost in exchange for an hones and unbiased review.

This little hub is great. It offers just about any port that you could ask for. It has a short USB-C cable tucked away in the actual hub, which is super convenient, and it comes with a longer USB-C cable if you need the extra reach. You get the ethernet port, VGA connection, 2 USB-A ports, microSD and SD card readers, HDMI connection and 2 USB-C ports (one of which supports PowerDelivery). It looks heavy but is surprisingly light. This does a great job of making it easier to use my M1 MacBook Pro. I have always thought that it’s a shame that Apple only includes 2 USB-C ports, so a nice HUB is a must have for most people using their laptops for work. This Hub really does a fantastic job of increasing the port selection of any laptop. It’s super portable and offers just about any connection you might need. Easy recommendation!

Sateshi has recently released a new 9-port USB Hub with USB-C main connector. The package comes with the hub, a 3.25-ft USBC-to-USBC cable, a short internal 4-inch USBC-to-USBC ribbon cable, and instruction paperwork. It comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. PROS: --------- * The ingenuity of having the 4-inch rigid ribbon cable able to be stored inside the unit is great. It pops into place and won't come out by accident. There is a small tab the user can use to pull it out, but it stays securely in place while stored. * It comes with a 3.25-inch longer USBC-to-USBC cable for possible longer-reach applications which is great. Not everything works well with the shorter internal 4-inch cable. * Not only does the longer USB-C cable work with this product, but it is also a VIDEO-CAPABLE USB-C cable. This means, that if you use this cable between some portable video projectors to a USB-C connected phone/tablet, it will work due to this type of USB-C cable's capabilities. Not all USB-C cables are created the same - this one is of the high-quality variety. * The hub has a gray matte finish and deterrent to fingerprints * The instructions do not state this, but the ethernet port is a 1-Gig capable port. I have "Gig" internet and was able to pull 900+ Mbs both ways. * USB-C PD good up to 100W CONS: --------- * The 2 USB-A ports available are both "SS" superspeed; however, they are 3.0 (or 3.1 gen1) and have a transfer rate of 5Gbs. It would have been nice for a new product such as this to have its USB-A ports capable of 3.1 gen2 speeds of 10Gbs. If you need higher transfer rates, you'll have to use the USB-C ports instead of the USB-A. * No carrying sleeve/case to protect from getting scratched up during transit. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ------------------------------------ * The SD and microSD cards must be inserted with the metal contact points facing inwards, towards the center of the unit, so be careful not to force them into their slots upside down. The drawings on the hub may be hard to see depending on your lighting. * HDMI is capable of 4K@60Hz. The VGA port is capable of 1080p according to specs. All of my monitors are HDMI-only so this was a wasted port for me. CONCLUSION: ============ Overall, a great hub. With most monitors/TVs upgrading to HDMI, there isn't much of a use for VGA anymore. If the number of ports were to remain the same, another USB/USB-C port would be nice or even another HDMI port with functionality that would allow for dual monitors that allow for an extended display (screen1 and screen 2, not just a duplicated screen). I like the hidden 4" USB-C connector; that's a great feature. Perhaps a carrying case or pouch could have been provided to protect the nice finish. But functionally, it works great and would recommend to others.

My HP Studio laptop has only two USB ports which obviously are not sufficient in today's world. I found this multiport adapter to be a perfect fit for all my needs. It has: 100w USB-C PD Charging 4K HDMI port VGA port (I haven't used this) USB-C Data Port Ethernet port microSD and SD card reader slots 2 USB A 3.0 ports So far, I have used it to connect my wireless keyboard and mouse using two USB ports. My laptop recognized both the devices instantly and I haven't faced any issues. I also use the USB-C PD charging port to charge my cell phone. I also connected my SABRENT USB port adapter (which has 4 USB port) into one of the two USB A ports of this adapter and was able to extend overall available USB A slots. The adapter comes with two USB-C cable. One is a small one which fits inside the adapter (nice design trick!) and is good fit for people who travel a lot. The other one is a approx. 1 meter long. Overall, it was very simple to setup and use, has a great portable and sturdy design.

I was in a situation where I needed more ports for devices for a live stream that was about to happen in the evening, and came across this device. It was just what I needed to get those extra ports and handle the hdmi and usb needs that I was facing. Best Buy had it in the store, I picked it up and finished my set up. There were over 600 people viewing the event and 300 people participating in the event. I had no room for failure! Best Buy helped me keep my professional edge with this multiport device.

I'll start with, Daaang that's expensive! With that out of the way, this little tool has become a must-have. Works great, tons of IO. feels high quality. I love it.

Love the multiple ports and portability of device. Definitely useful for remote working.

Excellent product. This USB multiport was exactly what i need. Its simple to connect and has enough ports for all your devices.

Helps me use more than one monitor and simple to use!

Im so glad I took the the dive to purchase this. It has made my Air an iMac!

Worked well good quality product. I felt the money was worth it.
