Ugreen UG-45000 6-in-1 USB-C to HDMI(4K@60Hz) + 2 USB-A3.2 + USB-C 3.2 + Gigabit RJ45 + PD(100W)

The Ugreen UG-45000 delivers enhanced connectivity through six strategically selected ports in a compact aluminum housing. This hub emphasizes higher-performance specifications, including 4K@60Hz display output and USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer capabilities across multiple port types.

Enhanced Display Performance

The HDMI port supports 4K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, doubling the frame rate of standard 30Hz adapters. This increased refresh rate provides noticeably smoother motion rendering for video playback and cursor movement. The specification particularly benefits users working with high-resolution content and detailed visual tasks.

Furthermore, the 60Hz capability eliminates the choppy appearance common with 30Hz displays. Productivity workflows involving frequent window switching and scrolling benefit from the improved responsiveness. The HDMI interface maintains backward compatibility with 1080p at 60Hz for standard displays.

USB 3.2 Data Architecture

The UG-45000 incorporates USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology across its USB-A and USB-C data ports. Two USB-A ports deliver 5Gbps transfer speeds for legacy peripheral connectivity. The dedicated USB-C data port provides matching 5Gbps bandwidth while supporting reversible connection orientation.

Moreover, the USB 3.2 standard ensures consistent performance across different device types. External SSDs, hard drives, and high-speed flash storage achieve near-maximum throughput when connected individually. The hub’s chipset manages bandwidth distribution when multiple ports operate simultaneously.

Gigabit Ethernet Integration

The RJ45 port provides 1000Mbps wired network connectivity with full duplex operation. This Gigabit Ethernet implementation eliminates wireless interference concerns during large file transfers or video conferencing. The connection automatically negotiates with 10/100/1000Mbps network infrastructure.

Additionally, the Ethernet adapter operates independently from USB data traffic. Users can sustain maximum network speeds while simultaneously transferring files through USB ports. The dedicated network controller prevents bandwidth competition between networking and storage operations.

Power Delivery Functionality

The hub features a USB-C Power Delivery port supporting up to 100W input power. This pass-through charging maintains laptop battery levels during extended hub usage. The adapter reserves approximately 15W for operational overhead, delivering up to 85W to connected host devices.

Consequently, users can power high-performance laptops while utilizing all hub functions simultaneously. The Power Delivery specification supports voltage negotiation protocols for optimal charging across different device requirements. Compatible devices include laptops, tablets, and smartphones with USB-C PD support.

Thermal Management Design

The UG-45000 utilizes an aluminum alloy chassis for effective heat dissipation. The metal construction provides structural rigidity while serving as a passive cooling solution. This thermal design maintains stable operation during sustained high-bandwidth activities.

The adapter’s temperature management becomes particularly relevant during simultaneous video output, network transfers, and power delivery. The aluminum housing distributes heat evenly across its surface area. This passive cooling approach operates silently without mechanical fans.

Port Layout Configuration

The hub organizes six ports along its compact body for accessible connectivity. HDMI and Ethernet ports typically occupy one side, while USB ports cluster on the opposite edge. This arrangement prevents cable congestion when multiple peripherals connect simultaneously.

The integrated USB-C cable attaches permanently to the hub body. This fixed-cable design eliminates potential connection failures from detachable cables. The cable length accommodates standard laptop positioning without requiring extension cables.

System Compatibility Requirements

The UG-45000 operates as a plug-and-play device across Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux distributions. Video output functionality requires USB-C ports supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode for HDMI signal conversion. Not all USB-C ports include this capability, particularly on older devices.

However, USB data ports and Ethernet connectivity function universally across USB-C equipped devices. Power Delivery operation requires host devices with PD charging support. Users should verify their device specifications for complete feature compatibility.

Multi-Display Limitations

The hub supports single external display output through its HDMI port. Dual-display configurations require either multiple hubs or devices with native multi-display support. The single HDMI limitation reflects the hub’s focus on balanced multi-function connectivity rather than specialized display expansion.

Therefore, users requiring multiple external monitors should consider dedicated display adapters or docking stations. The UG-45000 prioritizes comprehensive single-display connectivity alongside data transfer and network access.
