Overview
The Anker USB-C Hub (10-in-1, Dual Display) A83C2HA1 adds display, data, wired networking and memory-card connections through one compatible USB-C laptop port. Its built-in USB-C host cable keeps the setup compact, while pass-through charging lets you power a compatible laptop through the hub.
Key Features
- Ten connections: One HDMI output, one VGA output, three USB-A data ports, one USB-C data port, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card slots, and a USB-C PD input.
- HDMI up to 4K: Use HDMI on its own for up to 4K at 30Hz, or VGA on its own for up to 1080p at 60Hz. Actual output depends on the laptop, display and cable.
- Two external displays: Connect HDMI and VGA together for up to 1080p at 60Hz on each screen. Both external monitors show identical content on Windows and macOS; they cannot operate as two independent extended displays. The laptop screen can show different content from the external pair.
- Up to 85W laptop charging: The PD input accepts up to 100W. The hub reserves up to 15W, leaving up to 85W for a compatible laptop. Charging speed depends on the charger, cable and laptop.
- Up to 5Gbps data transfer: Connect storage devices and USB accessories through the three USB-A ports or the USB-C data port. The USB-C data port does not support video output.
- Wired Ethernet and card access: Connect to a 10/100/1000Mbps network and transfer files using UHS-I SD or microSD cards, with a supported card-interface speed up to 104MB/s.
- Plug-and-play use: No additional software or driver installation is required for the hub.

Compatibility & Display Limits
The laptop or tablet’s USB-C host port must support both DisplayPort Alternate Mode and USB Power Delivery. A USB-C socket alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the host device’s specifications before purchase.
This is an HDMI-and-VGA hub, not a dual-HDMI or DisplayPort hub. The USB-C data port cannot be used to connect a USB-C monitor. The USB-A and USB-C data ports are for data transfer, not charging. With two monitors connected, both external displays mirror the same content on Windows and macOS; the hub does not provide two independently extended external desktops.
Safety & Care
- Use a suitable USB-C PD charger and cable for pass-through charging. A higher-rated charger will not increase the hub’s 100W input limit or 85W laptop output limit.
- Connect the built-in cable directly to the host device. Anker does not recommend USB-C extension cables because they may reduce performance or cause incompatibility.
- Keep the hub dry and allow ventilation during use.
- Safely eject connected storage devices and memory cards before disconnecting them.
