The USB 4 Multiport Adapter with 2.5G Ethernet is designed to provide greater connectivity with all the ports needed for a complete work or home setup. In addition, this 6-in-1 adapter uses the next-generation USB-4 protocol to provide upgraded bandwidth management and data transfer, allowing files to be accessed faster.
With its six dedicated ports, the USB-4 Multi-Port Adapter may be the only device you may need when traveling, with a one-stop offering of 2.5G Ethernet, 8K HDMI, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (one supporting PD charging) and a USB-A port plus an audio jack port.
