Anker has released its new Nano USB-C Hub (8-in-1, Dual Display), expanding connectivity options for laptops and desktop setups. The accessory ships with an integrated USB-C cable and offers a comprehensive array of ports for peripherals and storage.
Expands laptop connectivity with dual HDMI outputs, SD card slots, and 85W pass-through charging
The hub features dual HDMI outputs that support DP 1.4 and DSC 3:1 technology. On Windows systems, this configuration enables two monitors to run simultaneously at 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. macOS devices can also drive dual 4K displays at 60Hz, though the system mirrors identical content across both screens rather than extending the desktop.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Anker Nano USB-C Hub (8-in-1) |
|---|---|
| Display Output | Dual HDMI; DP 1.4; DSC 3:1 |
| Data Transfer Speed | Up to 10 Gbps (USB-A/C); 104 MB/s read/write (SD/TF) |
| Power Delivery | 85W pass-through charging; powered via 100W USB-C PD input |
Data transfer capabilities include up to 10 Gbps speeds on each USB-A port and the single USB-C data port. The device includes SD and TF3.0 card slots that deliver read and write speeds of 104 MB/s, suitable for standard photo and video workflows.
Power delivery supports pass-through charging at up to 85W when connected to a 100W USB-C power adapter. The integrated USB-C cable enables pass-through charging up to 85W, allowing connected devices to power peripherals and charge a host laptop simultaneously.
The Nano USB-C Hub is available in the US and UK markets through Anker's official store and Amazon storefronts. The device replaces the Ethernet port found on older models like the Anker 553 with an additional USB-C data connection, reflecting shifting user priorities toward wireless networking.
Pricing sits at $35.99 USD in the United States and £34.99 GBP in the UK. These prices position the accessory as a mid-range option for users seeking expanded display and storage connectivity without premium pricing tiers.
