What is a USB C HUB?
As technology evolves, products are being updated faster and faster. Notebooks are getting thinner and lighter, and ports are decreasing, while new products are constantly appearing, such as steam deck, new tablets, etc. And people's needs are far from being met by the laptop or tablet's own ports.
Take the Macbook Pro (2020) for example, a model with only 2 or 4 Thunderbolt USB - C ports, the USB-C port on the laptop does not meet your needs when your need is to connect a non-USB-C interface to an external display (such as VGA or HDMI), network cable or card reading device, etc.
USB-C HUB is to expand one Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C port on your laptop into multiple ports, which can be HDMI, USB-A, SD/microSD card slots, RJ45 Ethernet slots, 3.5mm Audio port, VGA, more USB-C Data or Charging port etc,.
