Axagon HMC-6GM2 Hub USB 10Gbps USB-A USB-C HDMI M.2 SD/mSD PD 100W Cable USB-C con cable USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) Type-C gris

Multiport USB-C 10Gbps hub AXAGON HMC-6GM2 GEN2COMBO 6in1 expands your laptop, computer or phone with five ports and external box for M.2 disk.

You can easily and quickly connect up two USB devices, SD card reader, one monitor, and an NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD to your computer via the reversible USB-C connector. You also get the possibility to supply laptop using Power Delivery technology at the same time. The USB-C hub will provide you with a simple and compact 6in1 docking station for notebook like MacBook Air or Pro.

The USB hub offers two USB 10Gbps outputs. One with standard USB-A and one with USB-C data connector. The hub can also handle permanent connection of two external drives simultaneously. Thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, the hub's transfer rate is up to 10Gbps.

Another USB-C connector is reserved only for charging phones or laptops using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with up to 100W of power. Connect a suitable USB-C Power Delivery charger into the hub and connect the hub to a laptop that supports Power Delivery. This saves one USB-C port.

HDMI output provides high quality image up to 4K/60Hz Ultra HD resolution and supports multi-channel audio transmission. High frequencies at popular gaming resolutions of 2K/144Hz or FullHD/240Hz are also supported. Thanks to HDR (high dynamic range) support, you can enjoy a significantly expanded range of colors and contrasts without restrictions. For video outputs to work properly, the laptop must have a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) support or a Thunderbolt 3 port and above.

You can connect a NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD drive thanks to the built-in slot on the back. The multiport hub thus becomes an external drive. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided up to a size of 22x80 mm. The external M.2 box has no capacity limitations for SSDs and supports modern functions such as TRIM, UASP and enables reading S.M.A.R.T. disk status monitoring information.

Card reader supports all versions of SD and microSD cards including SDXC and microSDXC with capacity up to 2TB. Thanks to the high-speed USB interface, you can make the most of the potential of modern memory cards. The card reader enables simultaneous handling of cards in both slots and direct copying between them.

The elegant aluminum body ensures not only mechanical resistance, but also passive cooling. You will also be pleased with the finely textured surface, which does not leave fingerprints. The port replicator is the ideal accessory for laptops with a lack of USB connectors, memory or video outputs. Fixed USB-C cable 20 cm long.

You can use your current USB peripherals without having to purchase new ones. Thanks to the Plug and Play and Hot Plug functions, connecting the hub itself is very simple without complicated installation, and peripherals can also be easily connected and disconnected while the computer is running. The hub does not afraid of connection to phones with a USB-C connector. For example, you can connect a flash drive, keyboard, mouse, display, TV or projector to the phone.

How to use

Connect the hub to a host device using the built-in 20 cm USB-C cable. If you need to charge the host or provide power to a laptop, connect a suitable USB-C Power Delivery charger to the hub's PD port (up to 100 W) before connecting to the laptop that supports PD. Insert an M.2 2242/2280 SSD into the rear slot (M-key or B+M key) and secure it with the supplied mounting material to use the hub as an external drive. Insert SD and/or microSD cards into their respective slots to access or copy files. To use HDMI video output, connect an HDMI cable to a monitor or TV and ensure the host's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt; update graphics drivers and OS if required.

Recommendations

For reliable video output and full functionality, verify that the host device supports DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt and use an appropriate PD charger when powering a laptop through the hub. When installing M.2 drives, follow anti-static precautions and use the provided mounting hardware; for optimal SSD performance enable TRIM support on the host OS and ensure UASP drivers are present on Windows 8 and later.
