Determining Your DisplayPort (DP) Version:
The version of DP on your laptop, computer, or tablet directly determines the actual resolution when connecting to external monitors using the Anker hub. There are three simple ways to find out which version of DP your device has.
1. Ask your device manufacturer or seller directly.
2. If you're using a Windows device, you can tell which version of DP you have by checking your CPU generation.
- DP version 1.2 if your CPU is Intel generation 10 or earlier.
- DP version 1.4 if your CPU is Intel generation 11 or later.
- DP version 1.4 if you're using a workstation laptop with an NVIDIA GPU.
Don't know how to find your CPU generation? Simply go to This PC (or My Computer) > Properties and look for the number (shown in bold and underlined below):
Processer: Intel(R) Core i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59Ghz
3. If you're using a MacBook, iMac, or iPad, you can find your DP version from the list below:
DP 1.4:
iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017 and later), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, 2020), MacBook Air (2020), MacBook Air (13-inch, M1, 2020), MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020), MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021), MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 and later), iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017 and later), and iMac Pro (2017 and later)
DP 1.2:
iPad Air (4th generation), MacBook Air (2018 and later), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016 and later), MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016), iMac (non-Retina, 21.5‑inch, 2017), and Mac mini (2018)

Notes
- This hub can not support 4K@60Hz display with Surface Pro 7 / 930QCG / Spectre X360 laptops since they are not compatible with Display Stream Compression (DSC).
- To display content, the connected device must support DP Alt Mode.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. When I connect to 2 monitors, why do both monitors show the same image?
When connected to dual monitors, devices running macOS only support screen mirroring. Windows supports both Single-Stream Transport (SST) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST) mode. macOS and iPadOS only support Single-Stream Transport (SST) mode.
2. How can this hub achieve 85W Power Delivery charging?
To get 85W charging, use a USB-C wall charger and a USB-C to C cable that both support 100W PD charging.
3. Does the USB-C Power Delivery port support charging for tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones?
Due to the power input limitations of mobile devices, this hub can not provide pass-through charging to tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones when using the original wall charger that came with your mobile device. To support full-speed charging for iPad Pro, use an adapter that supports at least 15V (45W).
4. Why can’t my HDMI resolution reach 4K@60Hz?
The HDMI port supports a variety of resolutions up to 4K@60Hz, including 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and 480p.
1) Single monitor: 4K@60Hz if your device supports DP 1.4; 4K@30Hz if your device supports DP 1.2
2) Dual monitor: 4K@30Hz if your device supports DP 1.4; 1080p@60Hz if your device supports DP 1.2
Below are some devices that support DP 1.4:
MacBook Pro 15” 2018 / 2019 / 2020
MacBook Pro 16” 2019 / 2020
iPad Pro 2018 / 2019 / 2020 (Only iPad Pros with iPadOS are compatible)
5. Does this hub get hot?
When this hub is fully loaded, it may reach a surface temperature of around 131°F. However, this is normal for products of this kind.

This was worth the purchase, and I have used a lot of Anker products both at home and at work. It worked instantly and didn't require any extra setup.
If you have never used multiple displays, you may have to right click on your desktop, choose Display Settings, and arrange the displays to be in the correct alignment so when you drag from one to the other you are going to the right monitor. If you click "Identify", the monitors will display what Number the computer has labeled them, and you can tell the laptop what order that you have them on your physical desk by dragging the labeled display on screen to the right spot. You can rearrange them how you like, you can even offset the laptop if it sets lower on the desk than your monitors so that the drag to the other monitors actually flows realistically.
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024
At first I called their customer service to use my 18 month warranty, very well organized customer service. I liked that.
But then I found out that it was my computer problem not the hub.
And it is now working again after I installed all updates on my windows.
Worth to share this with you.
PROs:
- Compact/ease of portability
- Dual 4k HDMI
- USB 3.0
- SD and microSD readers
- Works with both PC and MAC platforms
- Ethernet port
- Power pass-through capabilities
CONs:
- Very short USB-C cable to connect to computer
- Runs hot to the touch, even without using the power pass-through
- Does NOT support extended dual displays on MAC platform (this is a MAC OS limitation, not an issue with the product)
Because I use this for a PC and MAC setup, I have to run my MAC setup a bit differently. I currently use the 2 HDMI ports for extended dual displays on PC via the single USB-C connection, this also includes an external mouse and keyboard as well. I then have a second cable for one of the monitors (displayport to USB-C) and I run both that cable into the MAC, and the hub cable into the MAC. This setup allows me to switch between MAC and PC with minimal issue. I have recently started using the power pass-through to also charge both the PC and MAC with no issues.
Overall I am happy with the product. If I were to suggest any improvements, my most important suggestion would be to get rid of the short USB-C cable connecting the hub to the pc and replace with a USB-C removable cable. The product can include a short cable the same length as what is included now, but it would be nice to be able to replace that short cable with a longer cable. My rationale is that it would allow for much better cable routing options. I like my workspaces free of cable clutter.
