Five-port USB-C travel hub

The HP USB-C Travel Hub G3 adds five essential ports to a notebook through a single USB-C connection. It is built for mobile professionals who need expanded connectivity without carrying a full-size dock. The hub works with Windows 10, Windows 11, ChromeOS, Android, macOS and iPadOS devices. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation for immediate use.

Passive cooling with scalable power delivery

The compact aluminium enclosure dissipates heat passively so the hub runs silently during normal use. Scalable power delivery passes charging current through to the host laptop when a compatible USB-C power adapter is connected. Power consumption stays low because the hub draws only what the attached peripherals require. No external power adapter is included in the package.

Compact build with mixed legacy and modern ports

The housing measures 4.57 by 1.65 by 0.57 inches and weighs 0.1400 pounds, making it easy to carry in a laptop sleeve. Ports include HDMI for 4K video output, USB-A for legacy accessories and USB-C for modern peripherals or charging. An SD card reader and a second USB-A round out the selection for everyday workflows. The host USB-C port must support USB-PD and DisplayPort Alt Mode for full functionality.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the HP USB-C Travel Hub G3 to my laptop and what step is often missed?

Plug the hub's USB-C cable into a laptop port that supports USB-PD and DP Alt Mode; the hub will not deliver video or full power if the port only handles data.

What part of the hub is most likely to need replacement after extended travel use?

The attached USB-C cable and its connector are the primary wear points; the hub body has no moving parts or user-serviceable components.

What limits video output when I run an external display for hours?

The host laptop's USB-C port must supply both DP Alt Mode video and USB-PD power simultaneously; if the port cannot sustain both, the 4K signal will drop or throttle.
