iklingUSB C Hub, 9-in-1 Adapter with 4K USB C to HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, 100W PD, 2 USB-A 5 Gbps, MicroSD/SD Card Reader, USB C Dock for Most Type-C Devices

My review of this product is truly 5 stars from the product to the service. It started as a order that unfortunately never came due to Amazon logistics meaning the package was either lost or damaged in route. Naturally I was bummed as I use this for business, a day later a representative from the store named Martina asked politely, ( they didn't know either, Amazon just sent it back to them) "what was the reason for the refund and how could they do better? "Right away I was impressed, because well let's be honest how often do you get effort like that these days? Or a follow up question like that because someone in customer service & business actually cared? That great business. From there I explained , well I don't really have any feedback since it never got to me which was no fault of their own, accidents happen. However after Martina heard that and it was Amazon's call to return the item or deem it "undeliverable", Martina issued me that refund immediately, and sent me out a free unit rush delivery for the time it took away from my work being I paid for rush delivery initially and was on a deadline. I would have bought this regardless being I am familiar with the brand, however not a option , Martina insisted on making it all right.Martina was a pleasure to speak with and truly cared about my experience and had complete pride and confidence in her store and products. So thank you Martina, you went above and beyond in a unfortunate situation and made it a positive. Very rare these days , to any customer looking, I will say I would not hesitate to do business with this seller/store. Look at any of my reviews, I am a straight shooter good or bad and this was all good.Now, as far as the product goes , well its is 100% as advertised! I put this type-c hub to the test . The package you can see shows the time and care that went into the presentation and just says quality. The box was sturdy and strong with a magnetic lip and the device itself comes with a nice travel bag, typically these things come in a beat up cardboard box at best , not this one.In what I do I immediately put this hub to the test , it doesn't indeed put out 4K@60fps, the type A ports are indeed 3.0 as I tested the data transfer rate and it worked well , even the the ethernet port which typically does not hold up to its rating came as close as possible I got a steady consistent 780mbps down & 750mbps up which is impressive for a hub. It has a nice firm graphite feel to it , it definitely could handle a drop or few and is well made. The 3.5mm headphone jack works great and I opted for the VGA version for backwards compatibility being VGA is pretty much obsolete these days.The point is the product is great and works very well . They offer different variations to your needs but in my opinion you can't loose. They are priced very fair and with stuff like this you pay for what you get. Granted my situation was a tad different but I will be doing business with Martina in the very near future.At the end of the day go with a store/seller that has pride in what they do and actually offers a great product. As far as I am concerned this was a great encounter and urge anyone to not only give these guys a try but its nice that you can trust they have quality products that they stand behind.I know this is a long review a hub BUT,I felt it was deserved, it was that good of a product and great experience with the store & Martina. I hope someone finds this helpful in their choice or making up your mind on a buy. Best of luck!

= Summary =Its just works; and its among the cheapest hub you can find with this feature set. Drivers should not be necessary on common computer operating systems. The only quirk is the audio jack requires HDMI output. The hub does not have a sound card; it only converts HDMI audio to analog.= Specs =4 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Ports with support for USB 2.4A fast-charging-- 2 USB ports are assigned to card reader and gigabit ethernet-- 500MB/s (~450MB/s actual) max speed of all devices (card + ethernet) and USB ports combined5V 3A total power (this is the limit of on-board power converter)HDMI 1.4 (with HDCP) + VGA (10-bit up to 1080p) video converterHDMI 2-ch audio DAC2 LUN card reader (shows up as two separate drives) for SD and Micro SD cards up to UHS-I (104MB/s max)Gigabit ethernet with energy efficient features= Technical Details =The hub consists of wedged shaped aluminum tube with the taller side featuring the video ports. A circuit board is suspended inside by plastic inserts that also serve to align and cover the gaps in each port. The two end caps are press fitted into the tube without any additional adhesive. The hub may fall appart if dropped but should be easily reassembled.The hub disassembles easily by popping off the plastic cap over the ethernet port. The board inside then slides out without effort. The cap on the cable end can be removed to complete disassembly but is not required to full access the board. The USB-C cable is wired to the board through some form of displacement connector and secured with adhesive. The shielding on the cable is also ungrounded thus add minimal functional. Fortunately the cable is short enough it should have minimal effect on signal reliability.There is also a shroud that resembles a strain relief but should not be relied upon to alleviate stress on the cable. Durability is certainly far less than a moulded cable. However, the cable is terminated similarly to hand crimped ethernet and typical stress on the cable should not affect reliability with repeated use.All major components, other than the DAC, are older but from recognized manufacturers. All features useable out-of-the-box without additional drivers on most current computer operating systems. The DAC (connected to the 3.5mm jack) appears to be a clone of a Cirrus Logic CS4344. However, its unknown if it provides similar performance.The hub is wired with 2 of the 4 USB-C high speed lanes assigned to USB and the remaining lanes assigned to Display Port. This means USB operates without compromise while DP is limited to 2 lanes. This means higher bandwidth operation such as 4K 60Hz is not possible.The on-board 3A DC converter should supply ample power to all components. There should be no issues operating all ports simulatenously assuming low power USB devices are used.= Technical Features =The USB hub supports 2.4A fast charging; thus charging a single device quickly maybe possible. However, the hub itself is limited to 3A so charging multiple devices at high speeds will not work.The HDMI output is limited to HDMI 1.4. But all non-3D HDMI display modes within the spec should be supported.VGA output works in both widescreen (16:9) 1080p and 4:3 UXGACard reader functions simultaneously with both Micro SD and full size2-Ch DAC functions requires output from HDMI. It converts HDMI audio to analog 2-ch output.Ethernet uses both link detection and EEE to conserve power both when idle and while operating. Shorter ethernet cables/connection should result in less heat generated. Ethernet also supports various wake functions.= Components =GL3510 4-Port USB 3.1 Gen 1 Hub ControllerEP9632G Display Port to HDMI + VGA ConverterRTL8153 USB Gigabit Ethernet ControllerGL3224 Memory Card Reader434C 2-Ch DACTD1583 3A DC/DC ConverterXT25F16B (16Mbit series 25 SPI NOR flash)
