Review on USB C Hub by Julio Black

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will NOT work with Chromecast with Google TV

Purchased based on reviews saying it would work with a standard Chromecast power adapter with a Google TV dongle. That's not the case. The Chromecast gave a low power warning upon boot and would not move any further, even with just the Chromecast itself connected to the hub. Thankfully it works with my Pixel 4 power supply, so at least it's working for me for now. Instead of a simple solution, I now have to buy another Pixel charger, effectively doubling the cost of that purchase. The power requirements appear to be above 7.5W (typical power) and 18W which the Pixel charger uses. Build quality seems good but can't confirm Ethernet as I only use it for USB stick and wireless keyboard and mouse. Source: I am a PC specialist with over 20 years of experience.
