Anker launched its 10-in-1 Desktop USB-C Hub on September 15, bringing a multi-port docking station with an integrated color telemetry screen to retail for $99.99.
Key points
- Anker released its 10-in-1 Desktop USB-C Hub in the United States on September 15 for $99.99.
- The hub features an integrated color smart display showing real-time wattage, data speeds, and operating temperatures.
- Video connections include HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, supporting dual 4K external monitors at up to 120Hz.
- The layout routes eight ports to the rear panel and three quick-access ports to the front.
The accessory, officially designated as the Anker Smart Display Hub, is designed to reduce desktop clutter while providing real-time hardware status metrics. The hub is now available in the United States through Amazon and Anker’s direct online storefront in two finishes: Iron Gray and Starlight Silver.
Port Selection and Chassis Layout
Anker organized the hub by splitting connections between the front and rear panels. The front panel holds connections meant for temporary access, including one 10Gbps USB-C data port alongside full-size SD 3.0 and microSD 3.0 card readers. This setup allows users to offload media without reaching behind computer desks.
The remaining seven physical ports sit on the rear panel to keep permanent cabling hidden from view. These include:
- One USB-C Power Delivery input supporting up to 100W input and 80W passthrough charging
- One USB-A port with 10Gbps transfer speeds
- Two USB-A ports with 5Gbps transfer speeds
- One Gigabit Ethernet port for wired local networking
- One HDMI 2.1 video output
- One DisplayPort 1.4 video output
Dual 4K Monitor Support and Smart Display Functions
For external video output, the hub supports single-display feeds up to 4K resolution at 144Hz or 2K resolution at 240Hz. When connecting two monitors simultaneously, the HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports can deliver dual 4K resolution at 120Hz or dual 2K resolution at 240Hz on host systems with DisplayPort 2.1 Display Stream Compression support.
The defining physical element of the hub is a color display mounted on the top housing. The screen provides real-time readouts of per-port power draw in watts, active data transfer rates, and internal operating temperatures. Users can also press the physical button on the unit to trigger a rotating slideshow or activate an on-screen focus timer.
Portfolio Expansion and IFA Rollout
The desktop hub is part of the hardware roadmap Anker introduced earlier this month during IFA 2026. The company has steadily added digital displays across its product lineup, including its higher-tier Prime power banks and multi-port travel adapters.
The docking station works across major desktop operating systems as well as mobile platforms like Android when paired with compatible host devices. Anker’s launch comes alongside wider ecosystem activity this season, such as when reports confirmed Pixel 11 release dates nearing alongside ongoing device promotions.
Buyers looking to pair accessories with refreshed mobile hardware have several options this month, particularly as Samsung adds Galaxy S26 lineup devices to its official refurbishment inventory. Anker has not yet announced international pricing or rollout dates for European markets, though the hub was previewed earlier in Japan for 16,990 yen.
