HMC-KB-US USB hub 8in1 5Gbps keyboard HDMI PD

AXAGON HMC-KB-US KEYBOARD hub turns your phone, tablet or mini-laptop into a full-fledged computer workplace. You connect your mobile device to the 9in1 docking station via the supplied 60 cm long cable. In no time, you have an integrated keyboard, SD and microSD card reader, and connectors for connecting an external monitor, three USB devices, headphones or headset, and Power Delivery power. However, it is necessary that the USB-C port of your mobile device supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and Power Delivery.

The keyboard, built into an elegant aluminum hub body, is equipped with chiclet keys with a scissor mechanism and 2 mm stroke for precise and quiet typing. The keyboard offers adjustable backlighting in 5 levels, 12 multimedia keys and the possibility of increasing the inclination for comfortable and ergonomic use.

Three USB-A 5Gbps outputs allow connection of external drives (up to 2 at the same time), flash drive, mouse, printer and other USB accessories. The USB ports also charge mobile phones and tablets with a power of up to 7.5W. 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 enables simultaneous handling of cards in both slots and direct copying between them. The 3.5 mm audio output offers the possibility of connecting stereo headphones, a headset or active speakers.

The PD USB-C input is designed for a suitable Power Delivery charger. This allows both your mobile device and the hub to be powered directly from the PD charger using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with up to 100W of power.
