UGREEN 4-in-1 USB-C Hub with Gigabit Ethernet (60600)
Overview
UGREEN 60600 expands one data-capable USB-C host port into three USB-A 3.0 ports and one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port. It is built for laptops, tablets and phones that need wired networking alongside a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or other USB peripheral. USB data is listed up to 5 Gbps and Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps. The braided host lead and aluminium housing suit portable desk use. This model has no HDMI, card reader or pass-through charging port.

What it does well.
The host USB-C port must support data
A charge-only USB-C port cannot operate this hub. UGREEN 60600 has no USB-C power-delivery input, HDMI output or card reader, so it cannot charge the host laptop through the hub or add a display. It expands data and wired networking only.
Key features
- Four outputs: 3 × USB-A 3.0 plus 1 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet.
- USB data transfer up to 5 Gbps for compatible storage and peripherals.
- Wired Gigabit network link for supported USB-C hosts.
- Integrated braided USB-C host cable and aluminium housing.
- Driver-free on Windows 11/10/8.1/8, macOS, iPadOS, ChromeOS and Android in the model specification.
- Driver installation may be required on Windows XP/7/Vista and Linux.
Use scenarios
Add wired Ethernet, keyboard and mouse to a thin USB-C laptop.
Transfer files from a USB flash drive while using a stable wired network.
Connect USB accessories and Ethernet to a compatible USB-C iPad or phone.
Use a wired link for video calls or office work where Wi-Fi is unreliable.
Carry one compact hub for a laptop, Steam Deck or other host with USB-C data/OTG support.
Setup and usability guidance
Confirm that the host USB-C port supports USB data or OTG; a charge-only USB-C port will not operate the hub.
Connect the integrated USB-C plug directly to the host, then wait for USB and network devices to enumerate.
Connect a known-good Ethernet cable from the hub to a router or switch and verify the wired-network icon.
Add low-power USB devices one at a time; safely eject storage before unplugging it.
If Ethernet is absent on an older operating system, obtain the appropriate driver through a trusted official support channel.
Compatible devices and systems
Works as a USB hub with data-capable USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 host ports on supported MacBook, Mac mini, iPad, iPhone 15 family, Surface, Dell XPS, Chromebook, Android devices, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck examples listed by UGREEN.
Exact function depends on the device’s USB host/OTG support and operating system.
Thunderbolt compatibility here means the connector can carry USB data; the hub remains a 5 Gbps USB 3.0 device.
Real-world performance and planning
The three USB-A ports share the host USB connection and the power supplied by the computer. One compatible storage device may approach the 5Gbps USB 3.0 ceiling, but simultaneous transfers divide available bandwidth and real speed is lower after protocol overhead. High-power drives may need their own approved power arrangement.
Gigabit Ethernet requires a data-capable USB-C host, a 1000Mbps router or switch port, a suitable Ethernet cable and an operating system with the correct network driver. The wired link can improve consistency where Wi-Fi is weak, but it cannot exceed the internet plan, upstream network or host capability.
Check before buying
Confirm the computer, tablet or phone USB-C port supports USB data or OTG.
No pass-through charging is present; power the laptop through a separate port or charger.
Use a known-good Cat5e-or-better cable and Gigabit network equipment for a 1000Mbps link.
Add bus-powered USB devices gradually and safely eject storage before disconnecting the hub.
Warnings and limitations
- All attached USB devices share the host connection and available power. Heavy simultaneous transfers can reduce individual performance.
- The hub has no power-input port; high-draw peripherals may be unstable if the host cannot supply enough bus power.
- Driver-free claims apply to the listed modern systems. UGREEN states that Windows XP/7/Vista and Linux may require a driver.
- Some phones and tablets restrict external drives, Ethernet settings or file-system formats even when USB-C OTG works.
- This exact model provides data and Ethernet only—no display output and no PD charging.

Questions buyers ask.
How many USB ports are there?
Three USB-A 3.0 data ports, plus one RJ45 Ethernet port.
Can it charge my laptop?
No. This model has no USB-C Power Delivery input or host pass-through charging port.
Can it connect to an HDMI monitor?
No. SKU 60600 has no video output.
Will I get full Gigabit Ethernet?
A 1000 Mbps link is possible when host, cable, router/switch and driver all support it. Real throughput is lower and network-dependent.
Does it work with Thunderbolt 3?
A Thunderbolt 3 port can normally host USB devices, but the hub itself operates at USB 3.0 speeds and adds no Thunderbolt-specific features.
Does Linux need a driver?
UGREEN notes that Linux may require a driver. Check the current distribution, kernel and adapter chipset support before deployment.
Can I connect three hard drives at once?
The ports can be used together, but several bus-powered drives may exceed host power. Use self-powered storage or reduce the load.
Will it work with a phone or tablet?
Only if the device supports USB host/OTG, Ethernet and the connected peripheral/file system. UGREEN lists Android, iPadOS and iPhone 15 examples.
Why is USB transfer below 5 Gbps?
5 Gbps is the interface ceiling. Drive speed, shared bus traffic, file size, host controller and protocol overhead reduce real performance.
Is an Ethernet cable included?
No Ethernet cable is verified in the package; supply a suitable cable separately.
Can this hub charge my laptop?
No. Model 60600 has no USB-C Power Delivery input or pass-through charging port. Its USB-C lead connects to the host for data and bus power; charge the laptop through a separate compatible port and charger.
Can I use it with a USB-C phone or tablet?
Yes, when the mobile device supports USB host/OTG data and the operating system supports the connected Ethernet or USB peripheral. Bus-power limits still apply, and there is no charging pass-through while the hub occupies the port.
This description applies to exact UGREEN 4-in-1 hub 60600: three USB-A 3.0 ports plus Gigabit Ethernet. Match the SKU and port layout before purchase. UGREEN India after-sales eligibility follows the exact listing terms; no HDMI or charging feature is implied.
