It’s a little confusing, but for the most part, 5Gbps USB-C is mostly limited to 30Hz (but can be pushed to 60Hz if the bandwidth is not taken up by the other ports), a 10Gbps USB-C connection should allow 60Hz 4K, and Thunderbolt will easily push 6K displays with high refresh rates.‘ZDNet Recommends’ What exactly does that mean? Depending on the cable, you might get varied refresh rates. It you want to mirror your iPad’s screen to a larger one, it’s possible to connect an external display direct with a USB-C cable, but unless the monitor has its own USB-C input, you will need either a USB-C-to-HDMI or USB-C-to-DisplayPort cable or adapter.įor general productivity purposes, 30Hz screen rates are acceptable for 4K monitors, but 60Hz is better for gaming or action-graphics video. So, you’ll want to look for a hub with either two USB-C ports (one for charging) or a hub with an HDMI or DisplayPort (or even VGA if you have an older display). Some hubs boast multiple USB-A ports, so consider how many you might need to use at the same time.Ī hub is basically essential when using an external display because the iPad has just one USB-C port and you can’t simultaneously charge the tablet at the same time. USB 3.2 Gen 1 is rated at 5Gbps and USB 3.2 Gen 2 is 10Gbps. USB-A ports are mainly used for lower-powered devices, but the ports do come in different speeds.

Universal and reversible, USB-C is a great connector, but most of us still have a few devices that connect via the more common Type-A USB port, such as flash memory sticks, hard drives, and input devices. Features 6-in-1 Multiport Adapter Hub: The USB C dongle with 2 USB 3.0 ports, USB C charging ports(100W PD Port), 4K HDMI video output, and SD/TF Card. Thunderbolt hubs and docks are more expensive than their simpler USB-C cousins, but power users will benefit from the extra bandwidth.įor example, a Thunderbolt hub or dock can use this bandwidth to connect a 4K display running at 60Hz and still have data-transfer capacity for other devices such as hard drives. It uses the USB-C connector, but Thunderbolt has bandwidth up to 40Gbps compared to just 5Gbps or 10Gbps for USB.
USB C DONGLE PRO
The M1 iPad Pro uses the more capable Thunderbolt connection. The minimum bandwidth of USB 3 is 5Gbps, so this is the most common speed on hubs, but some offer 10Gbps that is more capable for things like connecting an external monitor. The Charge-Through Dongle solution allows simultaneous HDMI display, Superspeed data transfers, Ethernet connection and charging USB Type-C Notebook. More USB-C ports on the hub mean you can use them for more modern peripherals and an external display that connects via a USB-C cable. The EZ-PD CCG3 USB Type-C Charge-Through Dongle solution enables connectivity between a USB Type-C Notebook and HDMI Display, legacy USB device and Gigabit Ethernet while also connecting a USB Type-C charging cable.

The iPad requires at least a 20W charger for fast charging, which all the hubs can handle but a more powerful charger may enable speeds up to 30W. And look for high charging power if there is a maximum wattage on the hub. Make sure at least one of the hub’s USB-C ports is capable of Power Delivery (PD) for charging. Whatever hub you buy will use up the iPad’s sole port, so you’ll need at least one extra USB-C port on the hub for pass-through charging, as you don’t want your tablet’s battery to fade mid use. Depending on which model you buy, a hub or dock connects to the iPad and offers an array of extra ports.

Some USB-C hubs are specially designed for the iPad Pro, but you can also use an array of generic USB-C hubs.
