Anker 343 USB-C Hub Review 2026 - A8372 Specs

Name: Anker 343 USB-C Hub (7-in-1, Dual 4K HDMI)
Brand: Anker
SKU: A8372

The Anker 343 USB-C Hub, model A8372, is a compact 7-in-1 USB-C hub built around two HDMI 2.0 outputs, three 5Gbps data ports, and USB-C passthrough charging. Anker's support page lists one USB-C upstream connection, one USB-C PD-IN port rated for up to 100W input, two HDMI 2.0 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 data port. Amazon's US listing for ASIN B0BNZ63149 describes the same port mix and adds the retail framing: one HDMI display can run at up to 4K@60Hz, or two HDMI displays can run at up to 4K@30Hz each. Anker's own introduction page gives more detail by host capability. With DP 1.4 and DSC, the hub supports single 4K@60Hz, dual 4K@30Hz, or dual 2K@60Hz. With DP 1.2 without DSC, it falls back to single 4K@30Hz, dual 2K@30Hz, or dual 1080p@60Hz. That matters because this is not a Thunderbolt dock, USB4 dock, or DisplayLink adapter. It depends on the host laptop's USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode bandwidth. The 343 is best viewed as the smaller sibling to Anker's 364 USB-C Hub. You get the same basic dual-HDMI idea in a thinner body, but you lose Ethernet, the SD reader, and the extra USB-A 2.0 ports. In return, it is easier to keep in a laptop bag and cheaper when Amazon has it in stock. The support page lists dimensions of 4.49 by 2.17 by 0.61 inches and a weight of 4.6 ounces, so this is firmly in travel-hub territory. The USB-C PD-IN port is charging only, not data or display output, and Anker says the separate USB-C data port does not support video. If your laptop has one USB-C port and you want two HDMI screens at a Windows desk, the Anker 343 is useful. If you need Ethernet, card readers, USB-C monitor output, or reliable dual extended displays on a MacBook, its limits are easy to hit.

Compact dual HDMI USB-C hub

Pros & Cons

What We Like

Two HDMI 2.0 outputs support a useful dual-monitor Windows setup from a small travel hub
Single 4K@60Hz output is available on compatible DP 1.4 hosts with DSC
85W passthrough charging can power many thin-and-light laptops when paired with a 100W USB-C PD charger
Two USB-A 5Gbps ports and one USB-C 5Gbps data port cover basic peripherals and storage
Compact 4.49 by 2.17 by 0.61 inch body is easier to carry than Anker's larger dual-HDMI hubs
Driverless USB-C Alt Mode design avoids DisplayLink software on supported laptops

What Could Be Better

Dual HDMI mode tops out at 4K@30Hz or 2K@60Hz on DP 1.4 hosts with DSC
Workaround: Use one 4K@60Hz display, lower the dual-monitor resolution, or choose a Thunderbolt, USB4, or DisplayLink dock if two smooth 4K monitors matter.
MacBooks mirror the two HDMI monitors instead of extending them independently
Workaround: Mac users who need two extended displays should use a DisplayLink dock or a Thunderbolt dock matched to a Mac that supports the required monitor count.
No Ethernet, SD reader, microSD reader, or audio jack
Workaround: Choose the Anker 364, Anker 565, or a larger docking station if wired networking, card imports, or audio output are part of the setup.
USB-C charger is not included for passthrough charging
Workaround: Use a 100W USB-C PD charger and rated cable if you want the full 85W passthrough result.
USB-C data port does not support video output
Workaround: Use the two HDMI ports for monitors and reserve the USB-C data port for storage or peripherals.
Amazon feedback includes mixed build-quality and USB power reports
Workaround: Test both HDMI ports, charging, and USB accessories during the return window. Avoid running several bus-powered high-draw devices at once.

Compatibility

Windows (10+)

Anker lists Windows 10/11. Dual extended HDMI output depends on the host supporting USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode and MST.

macOS (10.14+)

Anker lists macOS 10.14 or later, but the FAQ says two external monitors mirror the same image because macOS supports SST rather than MST through this hub.

ChromeOS

Anker lists Chrome support. HDMI output requires USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, and display count depends on the Chromebook's USB-C video capability.

Known Issues

USB-C ports without DisplayPort Alt Mode

HDMI output will not work

macOS dual extended monitor setups

Two HDMI monitors mirror instead of extending independently

Linux systems

Our Verdict

Good

The Anker 343 makes sense when the shopping list is very specific: dual HDMI, 5Gbps USB data, and passthrough laptop charging from a compact hub. It is a cleaner fit for Windows laptops than for MacBooks because Windows supports MST over USB-C, while Anker's FAQ says macOS and iPadOS mirror the two HDMI monitors instead of extending them independently. That means a Dell Latitude, ThinkPad, HP EliteBook, or similar Windows laptop with DP Alt Mode can use the 343 as a small two-monitor desk adapter. A MacBook can still use it for one useful external desktop plus mirrored HDMI output, USB peripherals, and charging, but it will not bypass Apple's external-display rules. The charging story is also practical but easy to misunderstand. Anker rates the PD-IN port at up to 100W input and says the hub reserves about 15W for itself, leaving up to 85W for the laptop. A wall charger is not included. If you plug in a 65W charger, you will not get 85W at the host. If you plug in a 140W charger, Anker says the hub still accepts only 100W. The USB-C PD-IN port also does not charge a phone or output video, so treat it as a power input only. Amazon feedback is limited compared with older Anker hubs, but it is useful. During research, the listing showed a 4.3-star rating from 214 global ratings. Customer-summary snippets were mixed: some buyers liked the dual HDMI function and used it successfully with notebooks and 1440p monitors, while others complained about build quality, USB power, or limited USB-C port count. That matches the spec sheet. The 343 is not trying to be a full dock, and it has no Ethernet, SD reader, audio jack, or downstream USB-C video. I would score it slightly below the Anker 364 because Ethernet and SD are often worth the extra bulk on a desk, but above single-HDMI budget hubs if you actually need two screens on Windows. Buy it for a simple dual-HDMI Windows setup. Skip it for Mac dual extended displays, Linux certainty, or a workstation desk with wired network and storage needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Anker 343 USB-C Hub support two monitors?

Yes, on compatible Windows USB-C hosts it can drive two HDMI monitors. Anker lists dual 4K@30Hz or dual 2K@60Hz with DP 1.4 and DSC, and dual 1080p@60Hz on DP 1.2 hosts without DSC. On macOS, the two external monitors mirror the same image.

Can the Anker 343 run 4K 60Hz?

Yes, for one HDMI display on a host that supports the required USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode bandwidth. Anker lists single 4K@60Hz with DP 1.4 and DSC. Dual HDMI mode is lower: up to 4K@30Hz or 2K@60Hz.

Can the Anker 343 charge my laptop?

Yes, if you connect a USB-C Power Delivery charger to the PD-IN port. Anker rates the input at up to 100W and says the hub can pass up to 85W to the laptop after reserving 15W for itself. A charger is not included.

Does the Anker 343 need DisplayLink drivers?

No. It is a driverless USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode hub, not a DisplayLink or Silicon Motion dock. The host USB-C port must support video output for HDMI to work.

Does the Anker 343 work with MacBooks?

It can work with MacBooks for USB data, charging, and HDMI output, but Anker says two HDMI monitors mirror the same image on macOS and iPadOS. If you need two independent external screens on a base Apple Silicon MacBook, use a DisplayLink dock instead.

What ports are on the Anker 343 USB-C Hub?

It has a USB-C upstream connection, one USB-C PD-IN charging port rated up to 100W input, two HDMI 2.0 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps ports, and one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps data port.
