## Description

Product description Your MacBook was designed to “just work.” So when you add an accessory, you expect the same. That’s why the Plugable USB-C 5-in-1 Hub (AMS-5IN1E) features a Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 compatible USB-C port – a rarity in similar MacBook hubs - so you get the same performance out of the hub that you’d expect from your laptop, and of course, space for MagSafe charging. With no drivers to download or software to install, this adapter for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air is ready for easy expansion. Just plug the AMS-5IN1E into the two USB-C ports on the side of your Mac for quick access to 2x USB 3.0 ports (5Gbps), perfect for a keyboard or legacy accessory. The full-featured USB-C port (40Gbps) can do anything you’d expect from one of your Mac’s USB-C ports, including extending your display up to 6K 60Hz. And of course, take advantage of the Gigabit Ethernet port for a strong, stable connection. It even has a combination audio port for good measure. Compatible with M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. Designed for direct connection to MacBook Pro and MacBook Air systems with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) and USB-C/USB4 ports, the hub maintains a low-profile footprint and ensures optimal port alignment.

Review: This gadget will keep you charged! - This 5 in 1 or rather 5 in 2, gadget does what few others will do. It will allow you to charge your MacBook where every other brand of hub I looked at that offered a similar set up for a 5 in 2 to a 14 in 2 that utilize the left hand ports won't allow you to charge your MacBook while your using them! I mean... hello, McFly, anyone home? Then there are those 8 in 1 to 14 in 1 hubs that rely on a wire leading to any one of your usb-c ports on your Mac. The trouble with that style, for anyone who travels a lot and relies upon that hub, that wire connecting the usb-c port to the hub goes bad fairly quickly. Enter pluggable, and the game changes. The model I received is a 5 in 2. Not a 5 in 1 as described. not even as labeled on its box. But fret not. That's not a knock against this tiny shining beast. Even though it takes up both usb-c ports on the left side of your MacBook it still has a headphone jack in it and more. That and this things is built very, very well. Overall this plugable device offers too much as a bonus to really count anything against it. It's made of quality materials, looks good when attached to my MacBook and rests evenly both with the top and bottom to the keyboard side of the laptop, meaning the display closes with no fear of damaging it, and it rests level on your desk. It doesn't wobble or give either. Once you have it connected it's as if the thing were part of the pre-manufactured whole. It is easy to forget you even have this device plugged into the MacBook and data transfer rates are amazing. I have had no issues what so ever with this device, having relied upon heavily during international travel. It's become my go to and favorite hub for work.
Review: Updated Connectors don't latch with my 14" M3 Max MacBook Pro. It falls out. - [Update: 25 March 2025] Changed from 2 to 5 stars. Plugable shipped me a replacement unit overnight. The new one works perfectly. Secure fit, reasonable transfer rate on the USB and ethernet connections. Stellar support experience, no hassles, rapid response. [Update: 21 March 2025] Changed from 1 star to 2 because of support responsiveness. The support team responded within an hour to my questions and are shipping a replacement unit. This is likely a manufacturing defect with my particular item. I really wanted to like this unit. It's a nice 5 in 2 expansion unit. But, the male connectors do not firmly latch into the 2 left-side ports on my 14" M3 Max MacBook Pro. The whole thing just falls out. I've contacted support, and we will see if this is a manufacturing defect with my particular unit, or a systemic problem. And I'll update the review accordingly.
