LENTION 6-in-1 USB-C Hub (CB-C68)
A low cost travel hub with Ethernet and SD, held back by 4K 30Hz video.
The short version
- MacBook and ultrabook owners who need HDMI, Ethernet and an SD reader from one port
- Students and remote workers who want one small adapter in the bag
- You want 4K at 60Hz or a high refresh external monitor
- Your laptop needs more than 60W to charge at full speed
- You need more than two USB-A ports or USB-C data ports
What owners like
- Covers the common ports in one small adapter
- Wired Ethernet and SD reader in the same body
- Works across MacBooks, Surface laptops and Chromebooks
- Laptop can charge while the other ports are in use
Common complaints
- HDMI limited to 4K at 30Hz, which rules out high refresh monitors
- Only two USB-A ports and no USB-C data port
- Pass-through charging is capped at 60W, below what larger laptops draw
- A basic hub, not a replacement for a full dock

What it does
A small USB-C hub, the LENTION CB-C68, that adds HDMI, two USB-A ports, an SD card slot, gigabit Ethernet and pass-through charging to a laptop.
- One cable adds a monitor, wired internet and USB-A ports to a USB-C laptop
- USB-C charging port lets the laptop charge while the hub is in use
- Full size SD slot for camera cards
- Gigabit Ethernet port for a steadier connection than Wi-Fi
- USB-A ports also work with older USB 2.0 devices
A good fit for laptop owners who need wired internet, an SD reader and one external screen from a single USB-C port. The trade-off is video: HDMI tops out at 4K at 30Hz, so anyone driving a high refresh monitor or wanting more USB ports should look at a newer hub.
