Ports and peripherals
The hub has three standard USB 3.0 ports and two USB-C 3.0 ports. These can connect accessories with traditional USB connectors as well as USB-C devices, such as external storage and other peripherals.
The 10-in-1 count comprises three USB ports, two USB-C ports, HDMI, Ethernet, separate SD and TF card slots, and a dedicated Power Delivery port.
4K HDMI and wired networking
The HDMI output supports 4K resolution at a 60 Hz refresh rate. It can connect an external monitor or TV for work or video playback. To achieve those settings, the connected computer or tablet must also support video output over USB-C; the capabilities of the monitor and cable matter too.
The RJ45 port provides a wired network connection at up to 1,000 Mbps. It can be useful where Wi-Fi coverage is weak or when transferring larger files across a local network. Actual speeds also depend on the other network equipment and the connection.
Power Delivery
The dedicated power port supports Power Delivery at up to 100 W. A compatible charger can be connected to the hub to power a laptop or another supported device while peripherals are in use.
The 100 W rating does not guarantee that the laptop receives all of that power: the hub may use some, and the result also depends on the charger, cable and device requirements. For a more power-hungry laptop, charging through the hub may not always meet its full power demand.
SD and TF card reader
The reader supports SD and TF cards and the SD 3.0 standard. It makes it easier to transfer photos and videos from a camera or drone to a computer without a separate card reader.
The stated read speed is approximately 90 MB/s, with write speeds around 80 MB/s. Actual transfer speeds also depend on the card and device used. These figures are practical for everyday copying and backups, though they may be limiting for very large projects.
Build and dimensions
The hub has a CNC-machined aluminum body, which helps with durability and heat dissipation. It measures 14.5 × 5.3 × 1.5 cm and has a connecting cable approximately 22 cm long. It is suitable for a desk or for carrying around, although the short cable may limit placement with some laptops.
What to check before use
Not every USB-C port on a computer or tablet supports video output and charging. Check your device's capabilities before using HDMI or Power Delivery. When several ports are in use at once, bandwidth may be shared, and actual speeds depend on the connected devices and how they are connected.
The BW-NEW TH8 is most useful for those who want to add a monitor, wired network connection, peripherals and a card reader to a laptop through a single USB-C connection.
