Spigen ArcDock Pro Multi Hubs
Like other Mac accessory companies, Spigen aims its two new hubs at laptop users.
“Spigen always focuses on making customer-oriented products,” said Joe Bae, director of the company’s Power Accessory Department. “Spigen ArcDock Pro Multi Hub 6-in-1 and 8-in-1 will be a suitable USB hub product for laptop users.”
6-in-1 hub
With the Spigen ArcDock Pro Multi Hub 6-in-1, you get six ports:
- Two USB-C

Each USB-C and USB-A port — compatible with USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 — is faster than USB 3.0, with a 10 Gbps data transfer speed, Spigen said.
In addition, the HDMI port supports up to 8K@60Hz. And the hub provides USB PD 85W of pass-through charging power to your laptop.
