Anker launches new USB-C Data Hub with missing feature

A USB-C PD-IN port allows you to charge the host device at up to 100W, though you would need to connect your own charger for this feature. Smaller gadgets like a phone or smartwatch can be charged via two 30W PD USB-C outputs, with the power reduced to 15W when both ports are in use. These USB-C outputs have a 5Gbps data transfer rate, as do three USB-A ports with a 7.5W power output. You can use two 10Gbps USB-C and 10Gbps USB-A ports for faster file transfers, or SD and TF card readers. One notable absence is HDMI and DisplayPort; while a monitor can be directly connected to the hub, a separate display data cable connecting to your device is needed to allow screen mirroring.

The accessory is powered via a DC-IN port, with a 65W power supply provided. The product has an 18-month warranty, measures 7.09 x 2.09 x 0.79-in (~180 x 53 x 20 mm) and weighs 7.05 oz (~200 g). You can currently buy the Anker USB-C Data Hub (11-in-1, 10Gbps) at Amazon in the US for $69.99. Whether or when it will launch in other countries is unclear.
