This article covers Satechi USB C Pro ハブ 7-in-1.
Overview
The Satechi USB-C Pro Hub 7-in-1 is a purpose-built accessory for MacBook users, offering a comprehensive port expansion solution. It packs 87W pass-through power delivery, 4K@60Hz HDMI output, a 40Gbps USB-C data port, two USB 3.0 ports, and a combo SD/MicroSD card reader into a sleek aluminum enclosure that matches Apple's design language. With support for MacBook Air and Pro models from M1 through the latest M5, as well as iPad Air and Pro, this hub is a versatile travel companion for anyone needing to connect multiple peripherals without sacrificing desk space.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The hub connects directly to any USB-C (Thunderbolt 3/4/USB4) port on your Mac or iPad. The HDMI output supports up to 4K@60Hz, but note that Intel-based Macs and some M1-M3 models may be limited by the host's display capabilities. The dedicated USB-C data port runs at up to 40Gbps, ideal for high-speed external SSDs or other USB-C accessories. Two USB 3.0 Type-A ports (5Gbps each) handle legacy peripherals like mice, keyboards, and flash drives. The SD/MicroSD card reader supports UHS-I speeds for quick photo transfers. Important limitations: the hub blocks the MagSafe 3 port on the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro, so you'll need to use MagSafe for charging on that model. It is also incompatible with single-port USB-C MacBooks (2015-2017 MacBook) and iPhone 15 series devices.
Product Info
The Satechi USB-C Pro Hub 7-in-1 is widely available on for around ¥20,500. It comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. The package includes the hub and a user manual. Positioned in the mid-range market, it stands out by combining 87W pass-through charging with a 40Gbps data port — a rare combination at this price point. The hub has been on the market since 2020 but remains fully compatible with the latest M5 MacBooks thanks to its straightforward USB-C interface.
Best Use Cases
This hub is ideal for: MacBook users who need an external monitor: The HDMI port supports 4K@60Hz, greatly improving productivity. However, M1 Macs do not support dual displays, so M2 or later is recommended. Creative professionals handling photos and videos: The built-in SD/MicroSD reader allows quick ingestion from cameras, and the two USB 3.0 ports can handle external drives simultaneously. Mobile workers who travel light: The compact, cable-attached design is easy to slip into a bag. The 87W pass-through charging keeps your MacBook topped up while connected. For 16-inch MacBook Pro owners, use MagSafe 3 for 140W charging. Not recommended for: Owners of single-port USB-C MacBooks (2015-2017) or iPhone 15 series, as compatibility is not supported.
