Plugable has introduced two USB-C hubsThe new Plugable USBC-6IN1 costs $39.99, while the USBC-8IN1E costs $59.99. Both hubs support a single external display at up to 4K 144Hz or 8K 30Hz through HDMI 2.1.
They also offer USB-C pass-through charging and don’t require drivers on macOS, Windows, or ChromeOS. Previously, Plugable offered 4K 144Hz output only in its more expensive USBC-10IN1E hub.
The new models bring that capability to smaller, more affordable accessories. Mac users still need compatible hardware and macOS 26 or later to achieve the advertised refresh rates.
