Belkin INC008 Review 2026 - 5-in-1 USB-C Hub Specs

6.9 Good
Adrian Cel By Adrian Cel

The Belkin INC008 is a compact USB-C travel hub built around five basics: one HDMI 2.0 output, two USB-A ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, and one USB-C Power Delivery input. Belkin positions it as a Works With Chromebook certified adapter, but the product page also lists Mac and Windows compatibility. The useful spec is the video output. HDMI supports up to 4K at 60Hz, which is better than many older USB-C hubs that stop at 4K 30Hz. The two USB-A ports are also faster than the usual budget-hub ports, with Belkin listing 10 Gbps data transfer and 5V / 0.9A power per port. Power is pass-through only: the USB-C port accepts up to 100W input, the hub uses about 15W for itself, and the laptop can receive up to 86W. There is no charger in the box and the USB-C port is not a downstream data or phone-charging port.

Chromebook Certified

Pros & Cons

What We Like

  • HDMI 2.0 supports one 4K@60Hz display from a compact travel hub
  • Gigabit Ethernet adds wired networking without carrying a separate adapter
  • Two USB-A ports are rated for 10 Gbps data transfer
  • Up to 86W pass-through charging is enough for many thin-and-light laptops
  • Works With Chromebook certification and plug-and-play operation reduce setup friction

What Could Be Better

  • Only supports one external display

    Workaround: Choose a dual-display USB-C, DisplayLink, Thunderbolt, or USB4 dock if you need more than one monitor.

  • USB-C port is for pass-through power only, not downstream data or phone charging

    Workaround: Use the two USB-A ports for peripherals, or buy a hub with downstream USB-C data ports.

  • No power adapter is included

    Workaround: Pair it with a 100W USB-C PD charger if you want the maximum host charging output.

  • No SD card reader or audio jack

    Workaround: Use a separate card reader or choose the Belkin INC004 if SD, microSD, and audio are important.

  • HDMI output depends on the host USB-C video capability

    Workaround: Check the laptop's USB-C port specifications before buying. Data-only USB-C ports will not drive the HDMI output.

Compatibility

Windows

Belkin lists Windows compatibility. Video output depends on the host USB-C port supporting display output.

macOS

Belkin lists Mac compatibility. Treat it as a one-display USB-C adapter, not a workaround for MacBook multi-monitor limits.

ChromeOS

Works With Chromebook certified. Belkin says compatible Chromebooks can receive automatic firmware updates through Chrome OS.

Android

Belkin lists USB-C tablets and smartphones as compatible device classes, but video, Ethernet, and charging support depend on the phone or tablet.

Known Issues

USB-C ports without DisplayPort Alt Mode or USB-C video output

HDMI output will not work

Dual-monitor desk setups

Only one HDMI output is available

Users expecting a downstream USB-C data port

USB-C port is power input only

Laptops needing more than 86W while docked

Pass-through charging may be below the laptop's original charger

6.9 /10

Our Verdict

Good

The Belkin INC008 is a sensible pick if you want a small adapter for Ethernet, one 4K 60Hz monitor, and two USB-A accessories. It is cleaner than many cheap travel hubs because it keeps the port list short and does not pretend to be a full dock. Belkin's own page shows a $79.99 price, a two-year warranty, a 4.7 average rating from 21 Belkin reviews, and the Works With Chromebook certification. Amazon's US listing is live under ASIN B0B78DD5C6 and showed a 4.5 rating from 34 reviews during research. The catches are straightforward. This is a single-display USB-C Alt Mode hub, not DisplayLink and not Thunderbolt. The USB-C port is for pass-through power only, so it does not add a second USB-C data port. Full charging also depends on bringing a strong enough USB-C charger. If those limits are fine, the INC008 is a good travel or hot-desk adapter. If you need SD cards, dual displays, audio, or more downstream USB-C, Belkin's INC004, INC015, or a larger DisplayLink dock fits better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Belkin INC008 support 4K at 60Hz?
Yes. Belkin lists the HDMI 2.0 port as supporting up to 4K at 60Hz. The laptop still needs a USB-C port with video output, and the HDMI cable and monitor must support the mode.

One. The adapter has a single HDMI output and does not use DisplayLink or Thunderbolt to add more display streams.
Can the Belkin INC008 charge my laptop?
Yes, through USB-C pass-through power. Belkin says the adapter supports up to 100W power input but uses about 15W for itself, so the host can receive up to 86W. A USB-C charger is required and is not included.

No. Belkin describes it as plug and play, with required drivers built into the operating system. Compatible Chromebooks can receive firmware updates through Chrome OS.
