USB-C hubs are not exactly exciting products. You plug one in, and it gives you more ports. But Anker is trying something a little different with its upcoming Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display).
This new hub has a built-in display so you can actually see what’s happening with your connected devices. It is set to launch in Japan sometime in fall 2026 at ¥16,990 (roughly $110 USD). And it’s available in two colors: Dark Gray and Silver.
Anker Nano USB-C Hub (10-in-1, 240Hz, Display) Specifications
The Nano USB-C connects to your laptop via a single USB-C cable and delivers 10 ports total. On the front, you get a USB-C port with data speeds up to 10Gbps, plus a full-size SD card slot and a microSD card slot.
Flip it around, and the back is where the power users will spend their time. There’s a USB-C charging port that takes up to 100W of power delivery, a USB-A port at 10Gbps, two more USB-A ports at 5Gbps, an HDMI 2.1 port, a DisplayPort 1.4 output, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Both the HDMI and DisplayPort can push 4K at 144Hz.
Probably the most interesting part of this USB-C hub is its 240Hz display. It’s a small screen built into the hub itself that shows you real-time usage data. Anker says it also pairs with a dedicated app for even more detail.
And while a 240Hz refresh rate on that tiny screen would make it look extremely smooth, it’s also kind of overkill for a screen that just shows numbers.
The hub measures about 130 × 56 × 50mm and weighs around 300g. It’s more of a desk accessory than something you throw in a bag. The compact “Nano” name in the title might be a bit generous.
