Ugreen 5 in 1 USB-C Multifunction Adapter

Common Specifications for a Ugreen 5-in-1 USB-C Multifunction Adapter:

• Input: 1x USB-C Male (for connecting to your host device)¹
• Material: Typically Aluminum Alloy for durability and efficient heat dissipation.²
• Color: Most commonly Space Gray or a similar metallic finish.
• Plug and Play: Generally no drivers required for most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS for compatible devices).³

Common Port Configuration (5-in-1):

1. HDMI Video Output:

   • Supports resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz (4K@30Hz).⁴ Some newer models (e.g., Ugreen CM511 15597) might support 4K@60Hz.⁵
   • Backward compatible with 1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc.
   • Allows connecting to external monitors, projectors, or HDTVs for mirrored or extended display.⁶ Note: The host USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output.

2. USB-C Power Delivery (PD) Port:

   • Supports Power Delivery (PD) up to 100W.⁷
   • This allows you to charge your laptop or other USB-C device while using the other hub functions. Actual charging wattage delivered to the device will be slightly less (e.g., 95W pass-through) as some power is reserved for the hub’s operation.
   • Typically uses the USB PD 3.0 or 2.0 standard.

3. USB 3.0 Type-A Data Ports (2 or 3 ports):

   • Offers high-speed data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps.⁸
   • These are ideal for connecting external hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, and other high-speed peripherals.
   • Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.⁹

4. USB 2.0 Type-A Data Ports (0, 1 or 2 ports):

   • Some 5-in-1 models might include one or two USB 2.0 ports instead of all USB 3.0. For instance, the Ugreen CM478 (15495) has 1x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0.¹⁰
   • Supports data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps.
   • Suitable for connecting low-bandwidth devices like keyboards, mice, printers, or USB receivers.

Variations to be aware of:

• Model Numbers: Ugreen has various model numbers (e.g., CM418, CM478, 15596, 15597, 50209, Revodok 105) for their 5-in-1 hubs. Always check the specific model number for precise port configurations.
• Ethernet Port: Some 5-in-1 models (like the CM418) might replace one of the USB-A ports with a Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port (supporting 10/100/1000Mbps) instead of more USB-A ports.¹¹ If an Ethernet port is crucial, verify the specific model.
• Card Readers: 5-in-1 models typically do not include SD or microSD card reader slots, as those usually start appearing in 6-in-1 or higher configurations.

Compatibility:

• Widely compatible with most USB-C enabled devices that support DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery, including:
  • MacBook Pro/Air (M1, M2, M3, Intel)
  • iPad Pro/Air/Mini (2018 and later with USB-C)¹²
  • Dell XPS series¹³
  • HP Spectre, Envy, EliteBook¹⁴
  • Microsoft Surface devices
  • Chromebooks¹⁵
  • Samsung Galaxy smartphones (S8 and later with DeX support, Note series)
  • Other laptops and devices with a full-featured USB-C port.
