Anker 552 9-in-1 USB hub with 4K HDMI support unveiled

Anker has released a new USB-C hub, the main feature of which is the output of 4K images via HDMI (though only at 30 Hz). It also allows you to charge appliances with a total power of up to 85 watts and offers gigabit Ethernet.

In total, the Anker 552 has nine connectors: USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gb / s), two USB-A 2.0 (480 Mb / s), 4K HDMI 1.4, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1, separate USB-C PD for charging, Ethernet, and SD and microSD card readers. The manufacturer claims that there is enough space between them so that one cable does not interfere with connecting another.

For maximum charging capabilities, the Anker 552 requires a 100W power adapter (not included). The minimum power of the charging unit is 15 W, so much is required for the operation of the hub itself.

The Anker 552 is already on sale in the US and Europe for $70 or €70, depending on the region (that's about 5,300 and 5,700 rubles, respectively).
