Belkin Core Dual Display 8-in-1 100W Pass-Through USB-C Hub (INC027hqSGY)

Description

The Belkin 8-in-1 USB-C docking station (reference INC027hqSGY) is a high-end mobile and desktop connectivity solution, specially designed for professionals, corporate IT fleet deployments, and ultrabook users with limited connectivity. This hub transforms a single USB-C or Thunderbolt port into a complete dual-video display workstation, while supplying power to the receiver via its Pass-Through charging port. Its compact anodized aluminum chassis offers optimal passive thermal dissipation during intensive data transfers.

Architecturally, the hub integrates a conversion matrix managing two HDMI 2.0 video outputs capable of delivering 4K resolution at 60Hz when using a single monitor. For multi-screen setups on Windows, MST (Multi-Stream Transport) technology allows you to drive two independent monitors in Full HD resolution (1080p at 60Hz). Power management relies on the USB Power Delivery 3.0 protocol accepting an input of up to 100 Watts: the internal electronics reserve 15 Watts to power all embedded controllers (Gigabit Ethernet, SD/MicroSD 3.0 card readers, and 5 Gbps USB-A/USB-C buses) while returning a net charging power of up to 85 Watts to the host laptop.

The integration of the RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet network card ensures a stable wired connection with low latency, essential for secure office environments or large file transfers on a local NAS server. The 22 cm shielded host cable, reinforced at the strain relief collars, ensures excellent durability against repeated handling while on the move.

Workshop Advice & Usage

Warn your MacBook (macOS) user customers wishing to set up dual displays: since Apple's operating system does not manage the MST protocol via a standard USB-C hub without a dedicated DisplayLink chip, the two connected HDMI screens will display strictly the same image (mirror / SST mode). To benefit from an extended desktop on two separate screens with this hub, the host machine must run on Windows or ChromeOS with a USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). In addition, to guarantee fast 85W charging on a power-hungry laptop, make sure to use a USB-C AC power adapter of at least 100W plugged directly into the hub's USB-C PD port.
