Five-Port USB-C Travel Hub with 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, USB-A, and Pass-Through Charging Built for Surface Laptops and Modern USB-C PCs on the Go
The Microsoft Surface USB-C Travel Hub (1E4-00001) is a compact multiport docking station that expands a single USB-C port into five essential connections for business travel: HDMI 2.0 with 4K video output at 60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, and USB-C with pass-through accessory charging. At just 3.50 ounces and measuring 3.50 x 1.89 x 0.59 inches, it disappears into a laptop bag while delivering full connectivity in conference rooms, hotel desks, and client sites.
Designed specifically for the Surface ecosystem and compatible with all modern USB-C PCs, this travel hub provides reliable wired connections without drivers or software. The combination of HDMI and VGA outputs covers both modern conference room displays and legacy projectors, while Gigabit Ethernet delivers stable network access when Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.
Where the Microsoft Surface USB-C Travel Hub Fits
- Business travelers presenting to clients and conference rooms where HDMI 2.0 drives 4K@60Hz on modern displays and VGA connects to legacy projectors, giving one adapter that covers both scenarios without carrying separate dongles for each output type
- Remote workers needing stable network connectivity at hotels or shared offices where the Gigabit Ethernet port provides reliable, secure wired internet when public Wi-Fi is slow, congested, or prohibited by IT security policy for sensitive business data
- Surface laptop users expanding limited port selections during meetings where the 3.50-ounce hub adds five ports from a single USB-C connection, including USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 for flash drives and peripherals plus pass-through USB-C for charging accessories during use
What the Microsoft Surface USB-C Travel Hub Delivers
- HDMI 2.0 at 4K@60Hz: Drives external displays and projectors at full 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate for smooth, crisp presentations and extended desktop workflows on large monitors.
- Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45): Provides wired 1Gbps network access for stable, low-latency connectivity during video calls, file transfers, and VPN sessions where Wi-Fi performance is insufficient.
- VGA Output: Connects to older projectors and displays commonly found in conference rooms, training facilities, and client offices that have not yet upgraded to HDMI.
- USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 and USB-C Pass-Through: The USB-A port transfers data at 10Gbps for flash drives and peripherals, while the USB-C port provides pass-through charging for connected accessories during hub use.
- 3.50-Ounce Travel Design: The compact 3.50 x 1.89 x 0.59-inch form factor weighs just 3.50 ounces, fitting easily in a jacket pocket or laptop bag compartment for grab-and-go business travel.
What Does a USB-C Travel Hub Do?
A USB-C travel hub converts a single USB-C port on your laptop into multiple connection types, effectively replacing several individual adapters with one compact device. The Microsoft Surface USB-C Travel Hub provides five ports from one connection: video output (HDMI and VGA) for external displays, Gigabit Ethernet for wired networking, USB-A for peripherals, and USB-C pass-through for accessory charging. Unlike full docking stations that stay on a desk, travel hubs are designed to slip into a bag and provide instant productivity at any location.
