AXAGON HMC-UFO, USB-C 10Gbps Hub, 2x USB-A, USB-C, HDMI 4k/60Hz, RJ-45, SD/mSD, M.2 slot, audio, PD
The AXAGON HMC-UFO USB-C 10Gbps hub expands your laptop, computer, or tablet with eight ports and an external box for an M.2 drive. You connect your laptop to the 9-in-1 docking station via a 65cm long USB-C cable. You instantly have an integrated slot for an NVMe or SATA M.2 drive, SD and microSD card readers, and connectors for a monitor, USB devices, headphones, a network cable, and Power Delivery. Compatibility with Thunderbolt 3/4 also provides you with a simple and compact docking station for laptops like the Apple MacBook Air or Pro. For the hub to function correctly, your laptop's USB-C port must support video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt 3 and higher) and Power Delivery.

Connecting External Drives
You can connect an NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD drive thanks to the built-in slot on the top of the hub. This also turns the multiport hub into an external drive. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided with dimensions of 22×42, 22×60, and 22×80mm. The external M.2 storage has no SSD capacity limitations, supports TRIM and UASP functions, and allows reading of S.M.A.R.T. information monitoring the drive's status.
Efficient Cooling
The top cover of the M.2 slot is made of aluminium, which ensures optimal protection and heat dissipation. Thanks to the screwless design, changing drives is quick and easy. The package includes a passive heatsink that effectively helps to reduce the temperature of M.2 drives. Vents around the cover ensure sufficient air circulation, which also supports effective heat dissipation. The HDMI output allows you to connect an external monitor, TV, or projector with resolutions up to 4K/60Hz Ultra HD, 2K/144Hz Quad HD, or 1080p/240Hz Full HD, and supports multi-channel audio transmission. With HDR support, you can enjoy a significantly extended range of colours and contrasts.
9-in-1 UFO Hub
Two USB-A 10Gbps outputs allow you to connect external drives, flash drives, a mouse, a printer, and other USB accessories. The USB ports also charge mobile phones and tablets with up to 7.5W of power. The hub is also equipped with a combined USB-C port that can be used for data transfer (USB 5Gbps) or for charging a laptop using a Power Delivery charger. With a suitable PD charger, you can power not only the laptop but also the hub itself, with up to 100W of power thanks to Power Delivery 3.0 technology. The memory card reader supports reading and writing of all versions of SD and microSD cards with a capacity of up to 2TB. The card reader allows simultaneous work with cards in both slots and direct copying between them.
High-Quality Listening
You can use the 3.5mm audio output to connect stereo headphones, a headset, or active speakers. It is equipped with a high-quality DAC that supports sampling up to 384kHz at 24 bits. You will enjoy top-quality sound that is ideal for lossless formats like FLAC, WMA, WAV, APE, AAC, or ALAC. The gigabit network card will enhance your computer with a fast and stable network connection, add a missing RJ-45 Ethernet port, or provide an additional network card.
Adapts to Your Needs
Thanks to its thoughtful design with four rubber pads on the base, the station stays firmly in place. One of the most practical features is the USB-C cable management, which is elegantly wrapped around the base. This solution allows you to easily unwind the exact length of cable you need at any given moment, preventing excess cable from unnecessarily taking up space on your desk.
Easy Handling
Thanks to Plug and Play and Hot Plug features, connecting the hub is very simple without any complicated installation, and peripherals can also be easily connected and disconnected while the computer is running. The hub is also compatible with phones that have a USB-C connector. You can connect a flash drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor, TV, or projector to your phone.
