UGREEN 6-in-1 USB-C Hub — 4K@60Hz HDMI + 10Gbps USB 3.2 + Gigabit Ethernet + 100W PD (CM512 / Model 45000)
The UGREEN CM512 is a 6-in-1 USB-C hub that consolidates Gigabit Ethernet, 4K@60Hz HDMI display output, three USB 3.2 data ports running at 10Gbps, and 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging into a single compact aluminium unit. It targets power users, network-dependent professionals, and content creators who require faster-than-USB-3.0 data speeds alongside wired network access and display output — all from one USB-C port on a modern laptop. The CM512 is the highest-specification hub in this UGREEN range, offering 10Gbps data throughput across all USB ports rather than the 5Gbps ceiling found on USB 3.0 hubs.

Use Cases and Applications
Network-critical professional workflows
IT professionals, analysts, and executives who rely on VPN connections, cloud storage sync, and video conferencing over wired Ethernet benefit most from the CM512’s combination of Gigabit RJ45 and 10Gbps USB data ports. The wired network connection eliminates the latency spikes and packet loss that affect shared Wi-Fi in open-plan offices and hotel rooms. Furthermore, the 85W PD pass-through keeps the laptop charging throughout the session without requiring a separate charging port.
High-speed external storage and file transfer
USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps unlocks the full sequential read and write speeds of modern NVMe SSD enclosures — which frequently exceed USB 3.0’s 5Gbps ceiling. Video editors, photographers, and audio producers who work with large project files on external fast storage benefit directly from the CM512’s 10Gbps ports. A 10GB 4K video file transfers in approximately 8 seconds at 10Gbps, compared to around 16 seconds at 5Gbps over USB 3.0.
Laptop desk workstation with wired network and display
The CM512 recreates a wired desk workstation from a single USB-C port: a 4K@60Hz external monitor via HDMI, a wired keyboard and mouse via two USB-A 3.2 ports, a fast external SSD via the USB-C 3.2 data port, Gigabit Ethernet via the RJ45 port, and continuous laptop charging via the 100W PD input — all active simultaneously. Disconnecting at the end of a session requires removing a single USB-C cable.
On-location and field connectivity for mobile professionals
The compact aluminium body suits travel and field use. Journalists, field engineers, and mobile consultants who work at client sites or remote offices need wired Ethernet access alongside display connectivity and fast storage — without carrying a full docking station. The CM512 provides all of these in a hub light enough to carry in a shirt pocket, with plug-and-play compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
