USB C Hub, 535 USB C Hub (5-in-1), with 2 USB-A 10 Gbps Data Ports, USBC 10 Gbps Port, SD and microSD Card Reader, for iMac Pro/iMac 24 inch 2021 / iMac 27 inch / 21.5 inch

Practical adapter, good to have

I have always been fond of Anker products. I've always found them attractive — and, most importantly, they perform flawlessly. Even though I have just now installed the new Anker 535 USB-C Hub for my M1 iMac, I can already tell this device will not disappoint. The installation was so simple — turn the wheel on the rear of the device to open the clamp, ease it onto the front of the iMac, and turn the wheel back to tighten it. All that is left is to plug the attached USB-C cable into a Thunderbolt port on the back of the iMac. I have already performed backups to three external drives. The process was quick and flawless. Suggestions: 1) Place the hub about 2 - 3 inches from the right side of the computer. The iMac speakers are located on the bottom corners of the iMac. I don't think this really matters since the speakers are inside the computer and deliver the sound all across the lower vents. Still, it makes me feel better not to place the hub directly over the speaker location. 2) Plug the cable into a Thunderbolt port (one of the first two). Again, this may simply be my own preference — but I would think the Thunderbolt ports deliver more power than the simple USB-C ports (the last two ports on most iMac models.) This hub delivers a full 10 Gbps — while most of its competitors only provide 5 Gbps ports. It is also just more attractive, IMHO, than the others. There is only one caveat. The hub only comes in silver — while one of its competitors supplies face plate inserts for the various colors of the M1 iMac. While this may be pleasing in some respects, the actual result is less than attractive — again IMHO. It helps that my iMac is the blue version which blends nicely with the hub.

Arrived on time. Easy to attach, works great.

Installation is fairly simple; and it makes it practical to now have access to the rear ports from the FRONT of my iMac. I don’t have to reach around anymore to access the ports on the back of the computer! My only disappointment is that this port extender cannot be attached all the way on the LEFT side of the iMac display, due to a too-short connecting cord. Apple has located the USB-C ports for iMacs at the rear of their display; but, instead of being centered, the iMac ports are offset, slightly—several inches towards the RIGHT side of the computer. So, unfortunately, this port extender cannot be positioned on the far LEFT of the computer—like it can be placed on the extreme RIGHT—because the permanently installed USB connecting cord is a few inches TOO SHORT! (This design oddity will probably only bother the few of us that have a touch of anal-retentiveness, though!)

I wish I have bought this before. It’s the best usb hub for an iMac, the design, fit and ports are just what I need.

Works great with my Mac mini m4

Great addition to my Apple IMac 27” Everything works seamlessly and I get to charge my phone while on the computer!

I tried 3 other hubs for my M3 (4 port) iMac-each of which had issues. I wanted just a couple of ports (usb c and a) as well as a good card reader, so I bought the 535. I never intended to attach it to the front of the M3-the silver color does not match the M3, and I didn't want the cables hanging off the front of the iMac. Instead I attached the hub backwards on the side of the stand just to keep it in place. The cord reaches nicely into one of the Thunderbolt ports and is not unsightly. Since I don't plan on changing cables and peripherals that often the rear entry is not a problem for me. I do plan on using the card reader necessitated by my digital cameras, but I am used to inserting the SD card in the rear as I had a 2012 iMac for 11 years. Beware that after seeing my 64GB card unmount several times, after calling Anker customer service, I surprisingly learned that the 535 card reader has a maximum size limit of 32GB (HC).?. Disappointed but not deterred, I decided to keep the hub and just buy the 32GB cards as they are cheap. So far so good.

Extremely handy hub. All most used ports in front of the Mac. Trusted brand also!

Das Hub wirkt wertig und lässt sich leicht montieren. Es funktioniert einwandfrei und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Ich habe nichts auszusetzen.

Perfect to avoid rooting around at the back of the screen. Never had a bad Anker product.
