Promate TransHub Lite 7-in-1 Docking Station / USB Type-C 100W PD / USB Type-A 3.0 & 2.0 Ports / 4K HDMI Port / SD & MicroSD Slots / TRANSHUB-LITE / TRANSHUB-LITE

The Promate TransHub Lite is a 7-in-1 USB-C docking station that adds HDMI, USB-C Power Delivery, USB-A and card-reader connectivity to a single USB-C port. Its transparent housing uses tempered glass, so the internals stay visible rather than hidden in an opaque shell. The compact, lightweight profile slips into a backpack or handbag for use away from a desk.

The HDMI port on the TransHub Lite outputs 4K at 60Hz, so a laptop screen mirrors to a monitor or TV at full resolution and a smooth refresh rate. That covers presentations, media playback and a second working display without dropping to 30Hz. Picture clarity holds up on large panels where lower output resolutions start to soften.

A USB-C Power Delivery port supplies up to 100W, enough to charge USB-C compatible laptops and devices while the dock is in use. One cable to the laptop therefore carries both the expansion ports and the charge, so the machine keeps its battery topped up through a long working session. Smaller devices charge from the same port.

Two USB-A ports on the TransHub Lite move data at up to 5Gbps, which makes large file transfers off an external drive quick rather than something you leave running. The same Sync Charge ports handle printers and gaming peripherals, so keyboards, mice and controllers all connect through the dock. It is a clear step up from traditional USB port speeds.

The built-in SD and TF card slot supports memory cards up to 2TB, which covers high-capacity cards straight out of a camera, a drone or a handheld console. Pulling footage or photos happens directly through the dock instead of needing a separate card reader in the bag. It also doubles as extra storage attached to a laptop.

The TransHub Lite is plug-and-play, so there is no driver installation or configuration before it works. OS support covers Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11, Mac OS X 10.6 and later, iOS on iPad Pro, and Android 6.0 and later. Compatible hardware includes the iPhone 15, MacBook models from 2016 onward and numerous Samsung Galaxy devices.
