J5CREATE JCD401 USB4 Dual 4K Multi‑Port Hub (85W PD)

Description

Overview

The J5CREATE JCD401 USB4 Dual 4K Multi‑Port Hub is a compact, bus‑ or self‑powered USB‑C hub built around an Intel USB4 controller. It gives laptops a convenient single‑cable connection for video, data and charging: dual 4K display outputs (on supported hosts), high‑speed USB ports and up to 85W pass‑through charging in a slim aluminium body with a 200mm cable.

Key features

• Intel USB4 controller for broad compatibility with Thunderbolt and USB hosts.
• Dual 4K display support (up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz where the host and displays permit).
• Video outputs: HDMI (4K capable), DisplayPort 1.2 and a USB‑C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Two SuperSpeed+ 10Gbps USB ports (1× USB‑C 3.2 Gen2, 1× USB‑A 3.2 Gen2) for fast peripherals and storage.
• Power Delivery pass‑through up to 85W to charge laptops while powering connected devices.
• Space Grey aluminium enclosure with vents for heat dissipation and a 200 mm fixed cable for portability.

Compatibility & notes

• Requires a host USB‑C port that supports USB4 or Thunderbolt (and/or DP Alt Mode/MST) for multi‑monitor setups; behaviour depends on the host’s video capabilities.
• Dual‑display output may not be supported on certain Apple M1/M2 Macs — check your computer manufacturer for GPU/display limitations.
• Some hosts may require manual resolution adjustments; if dual 4K60 is not available, reducing to 4K30 may restore multi‑display output.
• Includes a 2‑year limited warranty (manufacturer). No external power adapter is included; the hub can operate bus‑powered or be self‑powered via PD adapter when higher host charging is needed.
