Belkin Connect Docking Station (INC015BTSGY)

I got this for my partner, so here’s his review: This Belkin USB-C hub works great for my MacBook. It plugs into the USB-C port easily and doesn't require any drivers or downloading any software. It has two HDMI ports, 2 USB-A ports, three (!) USB-C ports, plus an ethernet port on the end. The ethernet port has blinking lights to indicate it's plugged in and getting a signal, which is always nice to have. One thing I wish it had was an SD or MicroSD card slot, something to consider if you use those types of connectors a lot. Overall I think it's a great product, and would be perfect for a minimal docking station setup if you want to connect your laptop to a couple monitors and a keyboard and mouse.

This has been working great! I replaced a clunky hub I had gotten from work with this one and it has worked flawlessly. I have a Mac laptop with dell monitors, and this had no problem with either system. I also use this for my mouse and keyboard too. There isn’t any lag, it hasn’t overheated, it’s just been doing what it’s supposed to do! If I had to nitpick anything, it would be where the main cord is attached to the hub. I wish it was on the back or front so it doesn’t matter what side my laptop is on. Right now my laptop is on the opposite side of the cord so I have to have the hub facing backwards. Not a huge issue by any means just a tiny annoyance.

This is a great option or alternative to other docking stations on the market from a reputable computer peripheral manufacturer. The docking station is aesthetic and functional and expands the capabilities of your laptop - whether work or personal. If you want to expand your workspace and minimize clutter, this product works great. The design of the docking station doubles as a laptop stand if you are looking to use the laptop as one of the monitors or even its keyboard. Otherwise, you can easily station this dock out of the way and create a very minimalist setup with just monitors and an external keyboard and mouse combination.

[Rewarded Review] Download super fast

This is so cool. In the photo I have it hooked directly from my phone to my tv without a mouse or keyboard. Unlike other hubs where you have to use a mouse this one hooks up directly from your phone to any monitor or dual monitors. You can hook dual phones and download things to your Roku or fire stick with no issues. It makes downloading super fast and simple. I’m so glad I got this complimentary for my review because it’s actually my first time using a hub and it’s very impressive. I’m sure there are many different things I could do with this hub and I am still learning. I definitely recommend this hub if you’re looking for faster speeds for digital devices.

[Rewarded Review] Enhance productivity and connectivity experience

The 100W passthrough PD charging is a lifesaver, ensuring that my laptop stays powered up while I'm using multiple peripherals like a mouse, keyboard, and more. The Silicon Motion technology delivers robust power and productivity, making multitasking a breeze.One of the standout features for me is the ability to expand to 8 ports from just one Universal USB-C connection. This feature is especially valuable since newer laptops often have limited ports. The hub's design is sleek and compact, fitting seamlessly into my workspace setup.

The docking station doesn’t come with the power adapter for the USB-C. To work around, user can plug the Tethered USB-C cable to the laptop USB-C connector to get the power. Or user can purchase a USB-C power adapter to power up the unit. I recommend this device for those that look for a docking station that is simple to setup, compact and easy to store

[Rewarded Review] Nice and works, some minor annoyances

This performs is main functions as expected and has a high quality, sturdy build. A few small caveats: 1) when inconnected a Webcam( that has no audio output), my computer automatically switch audio output to this device even though no speakers were connected to it at all. And second, dual monitor connection seems to ONLY work via hdmi. I have a monitor with a VGA cord and a VGA--> USB-C adapter. Eith the adapter plugged into this hub, my computer did not detect the second monitor. So a new vga-->hdmi would be necessary for use

[Rewarded Review] Nice hub! Lots of options!

So firstly, I love how slim this hub is! I previously had the Belkin thunderbolt 4 and this hub is just as awesome but slimmer. It works very well but you have to be sure to install the driver that makes it work. Now when it comes to negatives I only have a few. The first is that the cord for connecting the hub to computer is so short! I understand that it’s good to be that short in some cases but in my case I’d like to store the hub out of sight and that’s just not an option with this device. Additionally, sometimes if I’m doing too much on my computer I’ve noticed that my system runs slightly slower if I’m using this hub. Just something to be aware of!

I absolutely love the universal USB C 8 in 1 dual display cord! It has completely transformed the way I work on my laptop. The fact that it has two display ports allows me to easily connect to multiple monitors for a more efficient and productive workflow. The USB ports are also a huge plus as they make it easy to connect all of my peripherals without any hassle. The build quality is excellent and the cord feels durable and reliable. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to improve their workspace setup.
