Technical documentation reveals the use of a VIA Labs VL822-Q7 USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub controller, supporting 10Gbps signaling. Material science analysis confirms a high-grade thermal shielding configuration within the aluminum chassis, designed to reduce the heat-throttling common in high-bandwidth dongles. The power topology is a pass-through design, where the hub consumes 15W of the 100W PD input for internal logic, providing 85W net to the host.
Hardware capabilities include:
- Four symmetric USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports.
- 85W effective Power Delivery for mobile workstations.
- Advanced EMI shielding for wireless peripheral stability.
Performance metrics demonstrate verified transfer speeds exceeding 900MB/s on all ports. Specification data confirms the lack of DisplayPort Alt Mode or HDMI pass-through support, as the unit is optimized strictly for data and power delivery.
The Satechi 4-in-1 Hub offers a similar 10Gbps data profile with a different industrial design for Apple-centric ecosystems. This device is classified as a high-speed digital bridge within the USB-C hubs category.
