Customer Reviews for Belkin - F4U090btBLK USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub

Verified Purchase:Yes
Does what is described. Compact so it takes very little desk space and port powered so there is no extra cord to deal with. Took back 1 star only because I would have preferred a jack rather than an attached cord. Recent issues with computer add-on is that any issued turns out to be the cords or their terminations. If this cord goes I loose the device.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new Dell XPS 13 Plus has only two ports, so I bought two Belkin products to expand options: a USB-C 4-Port Mini-Hub and a USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter. With both connected to the laptop, there are now six ports available for three types of connectors. They are small, high quality products that take up little desk space, and they travel well.

Good 3.1 Hub, needs option for Power Adapter

The hub does what the description states... allows you to use multiple USB A type and C type devices with an existing USB C type port. It does not have passthorugh charging, and will therefore not charge your latptop / macbook (nor does it state anywhere in the product description that it will). Based on the reviews I am seeing, people did not fully read the product description...
As a simple USB hub allowing for USB 3.0 transfer speeds it works great. My portable Type C drives function as they should with this hub, and it can charge my Type C enabled smartphone.
The only negative, is that it should come with a power adapter to allow for more current use across the USB ports, to support faster charging and power of larger / more power hunger USB devices such as full size 3.5in External Hard Drives.

Users: Read product description Belkin: Update it

This hub has _no_ power delivery. But it never stated otherwise. It is what it is advertised (and quite good at it). It is nothing more, but you cannot blame Belkin for that.
Although Belkin might consider highlighting this fact in the description, as most users will buy it for Macs with no other ports to charge... but that tells more about apple...
(no offense, I am a MacBook owner too)

Product description needs to clearly state problem

I wish I'd read these reviews before buying this. Since the MacBook only has one port, any USB Hub that doesn't pass the charge through from the charger to the MacBook is more or less useless. Otherwise I'm sure this hub is great, as most Belkin gear is, but for any MacBook owner it's a complete waste of money.

I bought this for a 12" MacBook, BUT when i connect the USBc port that comes from the original Apple charging block, nothing happens... The computer does recognize the iPhone and also the telephone is being charged, however the computer does not charges... it´s worthless..... don´t buy it...
The worst? I already throw to the trash the containing packaging....

Hi Memo,
We’d like to get a clear picture of how your devices are connected. If you’re trying to charge your phone while it’s connected to the hub, make sure that it doesn’t exceed its charging capacity (900mAh shared). Send us the details at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact info, location, review title, and the link to this post.
