Tailored for 2016–2020 MacBooks
The LUOM PB-8945 is a 7-in-1 USB-C hub built for MacBook Air 2018–2020 and MacBook Pro 2016–2020 models. It adds HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C data, two USB 3.0 ports and SD/MicroSD readers through a single dual USB-C connector. Professionals regain legacy ports without carrying multiple dongles. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers on supported macOS versions.
Aluminium shell matches MacBook finish
The silver aluminium housing mirrors the MacBook aesthetic and dissipates heat during sustained transfers. Dual USB-C male plugs lock into adjacent Thunderbolt 3 ports for a secure, wobble-free connection that survives desk bumps. HDMI drives external displays up to 4K at 30 Hz with HDCP 1.4/2.2 support. Thunderbolt 3 delivers up to 40 Gb/s data and 100 W power delivery, passing up to 87 W to the host. Two USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C data port each run at 5 Gb/s. Card readers handle SD and MicroSD up to 2 TB at 104 MB/s.
100 W pass-through charging keeps MacBook powered
The Thunderbolt 3 port accepts up to 100 W input, providing 87 W pass-through to charge 13-inch (61 W) and 15-inch (87 W) MacBook Pro models at full speed while all data ports remain active. Each USB 3.1 port supplies up to 1.5 A for bus-powered drives. No separate power brick is needed. Not suited for Windows laptops lacking Thunderbolt 3 or for users needing 4K at 60 Hz HDMI output.
