Sabrent's HB-U3CR looks like it was built for MacBooks, thanks to a gunmetal gray aluminum chassis and a stylish, slanted design that will prop it up at an insertion-friendly angle on any table. However, it's an equally strong choice for use with a PC laptop that has USB-C ports and needs a few USB Type-A connections. The best case would be that the phone has massively defensive charging circuitry, but I'd be surprised if it could handle 20V for the smaller components used in phones. Most likely it would burn out the charger circuit. Currently, there is no technology that supports USB hubs having 5 or more USB-C ports. It’s missing from the market. The chips required for this are missing, therefore, making it so that users cannot easily access or access this technology at all.

Many mobile phones will negotiate up to 9V from a PD charger, laptops and other devices may work at higher voltages. I know of some that take 15V and some that take 20V. I just need something that provides a USB A or C Data+Power Connection and a USB C Power Pass through Connection... Image showing the aforementioned USB-C splitter that I desire but where only one port is for charging and the other is for data/audio: Anker’s hub was among the fastest we tested to deliver data under load, including simultaneous data transfer between USB-A ports while the SD ports were active. The hub offers an 18-month warranty, and it even ships with a carrying pouch. Powered or not? Some USB hubs come with their own AC adapters so that they can provide more power than your computer delivers from one of its ports. Bus power from your computer can be pretty low, not enough to juice several power-hungry peripherals at once or to charge devices at a reasonable rate. By definition, a USB hub that needs its own plug isn’t very portable.Plugging in a laptop and then a mobile phone to one of these splitters would mean that the phone would see 20V instead of 9 or even the "default" 5V.

Anker’s 7-in-1 USB-C hub feels surprisingly weighty (3.5 ounces), with a premium metallic (aluminum and polycarbonate) sheen. It’s also a bit more expensive than its rivals. Anker’s hub was among the coolest we’ve tested under load, at about 87 degrees. PAY ATTENTION TO THE LIMITATION】The C Splitter does NOT for monitors,Only support ONE audio outputs two usb-c port can not work with 2 headphone at the same time(NOT For Power input ),NOT for monitor display，Do NOT work with HDMI cable, Apple Watch. This is a USB-C female to USB-C male adapter designed forpower output or data transfer and it will NOT support video signal transmission.Support 5V/0.9A power output.

Yes, it’s possible to simultaneously use both ends of the USB splitter without any issues, but the transmission speed can decrease compared to when only using one end. How often should I change my USB splitter?Upstream connection (Type-A or Type-C?): USB hubs have multiple downstream ports to connect to your devices but only one upstream connector, which could be a port but is often a built-in wire that connects to your computer. Many laptops, including a lot of the best Ultrabooks, only have USB-C ports, so your hub's upstream connector would have to be Type-C. Even though two USB-C hubs may have wildly different brand names, you may sometimes find that they’re otherwise identical or just very similar. If you have a recent-gen iPad with a USB-C connector, you may find yourself wishing you could connect a USB Type-A device, headphones or even an external display. Anker’s 541 USB-C Hub for iPads has you covered with a unique design that’s meant to snap right into the side of your tablet or even a USB-C laptop. There’s no wire as the USB-C plug and a slight, protruding chin hold the entire metal hub in place. Even if all you plugged in were phones then after the first phone then all devices would see an out-of-specification USB voltage which they did not negotiate and may refuse to work at all.

In addition to the SSD, the Anker PowerExpand has an HDMI out port and two USB 3.x Type-A ports that operate at 5 Gbps. There’s a USB-C power pass-through you can plug your laptop’s power adapter – up to a 100-watt unit – so that you can charge your computer while using this hub (the USB-C port does not work for data transfer; we tried). https://www.makeuseof.com/usb-c-vs-usb-3/#:~:text=The%20primary%20distinction%20between%20USB,shaped%20connecter%20that%20is%20reversible. Super Fit】With this Type-C spiltter,you can connect usb-c mouse, usb-c keyboard, usb-c flash disk, usb-c card reader etc to your USB C decvice. you can also connect the usb-c hard disk.(need to connect the external power)While USB-C splitters don’t currently exist, there are many other alternatives to allow a user to connect multiple devices to a computer. These devices can be used to perform multiple tasks at the same time. A USB-C hub can be used to do exactly that! There are different generations, such as USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, as well as USB-C cables and chargers available everywhere. Sources https://www.minitool.com/lib/usb-splitter.html#:~:text=or%20USB%20Hub-,An%20Overview%20of%20USB%20Splitter,and%20other%20devices Overall, Anker’s hub is well designed, with adequate spacing between the two 5Gbps USB-A ports. There’s also a 5Gbps USB-C connection for data, plus a second USB-C port for power input at up to 85W rated. (The charger allows up to 100W in, but supplies 85W.) An HDMI port allows for 4K/30Hz video or 1080p/60Hz video to a single external display, standard for the category. Ethernet is excluded, however, so you’ll need to use Wi-Fi instead. Cord length is about 8.5 inches, above the standard 6-inch length. Two USB-C hubs can easily be connected together. The point to note is that both hubs have their own independent power sources that are separate from the computer used by the user. It is possible to have 127 USB devices connected to your computer system. https://medium.com/@leung.benson/what-happens-when-you-plug-two-usb-c-host-ports-together-with-a-c-to-c-cable-4f8e912f8a3d

At 4.8 volts, which is around the minimum voltage most USB devices will tolerate, we got 1.25 and 1.32 amps from the charging and data ports, respectively. When I plugged my Android phone in to charge, a real-world situation because a device will negotiate the best combination of volts and amps, the charging ports sent 4.78 volts at 1.35 amps while the data ports gave the same amount of volts, but just 0.35 amps. To make a long story short, you'll get 6.4 watts from the charging ports, which is decent but not the 15-watts that fast phone chargers provide. All three charging ports should be able to deliver this at once. If you need a splitter then buy an active hub. I cannot find any that advertise multiple PD outputs (only pass through for a laptop) and this would likely need a lot of expensive power conversion to handle, see the rest of my answer below.https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251751987#:~:text=response%20to%20TheHorror-,The%20full%20USB%2DC%20signal%20cannot%20be%20’split’%2C,what%20you’re%20looking%20for. However, there are USB-C hubs that can support less than five USB-C ports. This will mean a user can easily connect up to 4 devices to their computer to perform the tasks they need to accomplish. You can also get other versions of Inatek's USB hub, the HB2025 for example, that connect to your computer via USB-C, which is a more common interface for 10 Gbps connections, particularly on laptops. We really wish one of these hubs had a mix of USB-C and USB Type-A downstream ports, but they are all Type-A downstream. Both USB-C and Thunderbolt use the same USB-C connection. The difference is that a “generic” USB-C connection typically provides 10Gbps of bandwidth, and Thunderbolt provides 40Gbps, with a road to 120Gbps with 2024’s Thunderbolt 5. At worst the battery itself would see a far higher voltage than it was ever designed for or protected against and could rupture and potentially explode.
