Belkin’s Connect hub turns one USB-C port into four, and each one runs at 10Gbps. That’s twice the speed of most budget hubs. It also passes power through to your laptop. What it doesn’t do is drive a display or accept older USB-A plugs, so it only makes sense if your gear is already all USB-C.

Version reviewed: Belkin Connect USB-C to 4-Port USB-C Hub (10Gbps, 100W PD pass-through), Black · ASIN B0BY27XSJ3 · Amazon US listing · Belkin model AVC018btBK
One-sentence verdict: A tidy, genuinely fast hub for USB-C drives and accessories. It can’t run a monitor, and the four ports share very little power, so it’s a narrow tool, not a laptop’s only adapter.

It’s a small black plastic block, about 75 × 42 × 14 mm, with a fixed 8.7-inch USB-C cable. It’s light and pocketable, and the rounded edges look right next to a MacBook. The plastic feels fine, though not as premium as aluminium hubs. Because the cable is fixed, you can’t replace it if it frays.
Plug it in and it works on macOS, Windows, ChromeOS and iPadOS. There’s nothing to install. Any one of the four ports can take your charger for pass-through. The catch comes later, when you realise your USB-A mouse receiver, HDMI cable and SD card all need another adapter.
The data speed is real. Cult of Mac moved a 10GB file in under 15 seconds, which is what a 10Gbps link should deliver. With a 100W charger attached, Belkin says the host gets up to 85W, and the hub keeps the rest. In a hands-on review, measured charge into one device was about 40W, which suggests real-world pass-through depends on the host and charger.
The bigger limit is power to accessories. The four downstream ports share a small budget, quoted at about 14W total in one review. That’s fine for a keyboard and a flash drive but tight for a bus-powered SSD plus a webcam. And it has no video: “USB-C hub” doesn’t mean “USB-C monitor” here.

Belkin covers it for two years, and the build is tidy. But the Amazon rating is 4.2 across about 1,800 ratings, and owner feedback is mixed on reliability and charging. That’s below Anker’s 7-in-1 at a similar price. We don’t see a single repeated failure mode, so treat it as average rather than poor.
At $30.99 it costs more than Anker’s 7-in-1, which has HDMI, USB-A and a card reader. You’re paying for 10Gbps on every port and an all-USB-C layout. That’s worth it if you live on external SSDs. For a general laptop adapter, it’s poor value.

| Product | Best for | Key advantage | Main drawback | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Belkin Connect 4-Port USB-C Hub (this review) | All-USB-C setups that move big files to SSDs and need extra ports | All four USB-C ports run at 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) | No video output. A USB-C monitor won’t work through it | $30.99 |
| Anker USB-C Hub 7-in-1 (A83D2) | Most laptop owners | 4K60 HDMI, USB-A and card slots | 5Gbps ports only | $25.99 |
| Anker Prime Docking Station 14-in-1 | Desk setup | Dual HDMI, Ethernet, 160W charging | Large and much pricier | $159.99 |
| Belkin Connect Thunderbolt 4 Dock (INC030) | Thunderbolt desks | 40Gbps and triple display on Windows | Expensive; thin buyer history | See price on Amazon |
For nearly everyone, Anker’s 7-in-1 is the better general hub. Choose the Belkin only when 10Gbps USB-C is the whole point. If you need speed and video, you’re into dock territory: the Anker Prime dock or Belkin’s Thunderbolt 4 dock. Prices are live Amazon figures.
As a fast USB-C splitter, Belkin’s hub does what it says. Four 10Gbps ports in something this small is useful for photographers, video editors and anyone shuttling files between SSDs, and pass-through charging means it doesn’t eat your only port.
As a laptop’s only adapter, it falls short. There’s no video, no USB-A and no card reader, it has a tight power budget for accessories, and owner reliability is merely average. Most people will be better served by a cheaper hub with HDMI.

Figures marked “(Belkin)” are the manufacturer’s published claims. “N/A” means the value is not listed on the Amazon listing or the Belkin product page.
No. The ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2 data ports with no video, so use a hub with HDMI or a dock instead.
Belkin quotes up to 85W to the host from a 100W charger. Real-world figures depend on your charger and laptop.
Yes, with USB-C iPad Pro and iPad Air models, for drives, audio interfaces and other USB-C accessories.
No. All four ports are USB-C, so older plugs need a USB-C-to-A adapter.
