UGREEN 45800 USB-C Audio and 60W Charging Splitter
Overview
- USB-C AUDIO • PD UP TO 60W • NO DATA
What it does well.
Key features
What it does. a USB-C host adapter with two clearly assigned USB-C female ports—one for compatible USB-C audio equipment and one for charging input up to 60W.
Signal path. The attached USB-C male plug connects to the phone, tablet or computer. The headphone-marked USB-C female port carries supported digital audio; the PD-marked USB-C female port accepts charger power toward the host. The ports are not interchangeable.
Conversion boundary. This is a digital USB-C audio pass-through arrangement, not a 3.5mm DAC. Sound format and microphone/inline-control behaviour depend on the host and connected USB-C headset. External USB-C-to-3.5mm adapters are explicitly not supported.
Power design. The PD input supports up to 60W with a suitable PD charger and cable, while the host ultimately decides the accepted power. The adapter has no battery and does not add wireless charging.
Signal direction and connector roles
The attached USB-C male plug connects to the phone, tablet or computer. The headphone-marked USB-C female port carries supported digital audio; the PD-marked USB-C female port accepts charger power toward the host. The ports are not interchangeable.
Connector rule: an output must feed the matching input. Physical fit does not prove electrical role, microphone wiring, charging protocol or signal level.
Safe start: lower volume or gain, check labels and connect one complete path before adding any charger, second endpoint or application.
Conversion, sample rates and sound behaviour
Microphone, calls and controls
Microphone / call path. Calls and line controls can work with a compatible USB-C headset, host and calling app. The adapter has no built-in microphone; it passes the connected headset function where supported.
Controls. No buttons. The magnetic enclosure design keeps the two port housings together for neat storage; it is not a MagSafe charger or a magnetic mount for the phone.
Use scenarios
Scenario 1. Listening on USB-C earphones while charging a phone.
Scenario 2. Long tablet meetings with USB-C headset and PD input.
Scenario 3. Laptop playback while a compliant charger remains connected.
Scenario 4. Stationary mobile gaming with wired USB-C audio.
Scenario 5. Travel use where one host port must serve audio and charging.
Setup and usability guidance
Usability tip: test playback and microphone or charging separately before relying on simultaneous operation.
- Step 1: Identify the headphone and PD symbols before connecting anything.
- Step 2: Connect the attached USB-C male plug firmly to the host.
- Step 3: Connect only a compatible USB-C headset or audio device to the headphone-marked port.
- Step 4: Connect a suitable USB-C PD charger and cable to the PD-marked port.
- Step 5: Verify audio at low volume and check the host charging indicator; stop if any connector becomes unusually hot.
Compatible devices and systems
Compatible USB-C hosts that support digital USB audio and USB-C charging, including exact-listed phones, tablets, MacBook/Surface-class computers, PS5/PS4 and Xbox-class hosts. Actual console voice-chat support still depends on the console and USB-C headset profile.
- Match the connector role and wiring standard.
- Check host operating-system audio settings and app permissions.
- For USB audio, confirm the port supports data/audio rather than charging only.
- For analogue audio, confirm input versus output and headset TRRS versus stereo TRS.
- For XLR, confirm signal level, balanced wiring and phantom-power requirements.
What this product does

What this product does not do
- no ordinary USB data transfer, video output, 3.5mm analogue socket, built-in DAC, Bluetooth, battery, MagSafe charging or support for an added USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle on the audio port.
- Do not force a connector, bend it under side load or continue using damaged pins, plugs, insulation or housings.
- Do not infer microphone, charging, data, phantom-power or console-chat support merely from a connector fitting.
- Do not connect wet equipment or leave cables where they create a trip, snag or vehicle-control hazard.
- Do not use consumer/headset audio connectors with mains, speaker-level or unknown industrial signals.
What to do
Confirm SKU. Check 45800 on the product or package before relying on these specifications.
Start at low level. Lower headphone volume, speaker level, microphone gain or channel fader before connection.
Test one path. Verify one source, adapter/cable and destination before adding more equipment.
Keep ports clean and dry. Disconnect power, remove lint without metal tools and allow complete drying before reuse.
Use system settings. Select the intended playback and recording devices; physical connection alone may not change routing.
Store without stress. Coil cables loosely and protect exposed plugs, pins and adapter housings.
What not to do
Do not force a fit. Stop if alignment, case clearance, pins or latch do not match.
Do not guess direction. Inputs and outputs can share the same connector shape.
Do not overstate formats. Use only the sample-rate or signal claim listed for this SKU.
Do not use at unsafe volume. High playback levels can injure hearing and overload equipment.
Do not patch live phantom power. For XLR, mute and disable phantom power before changing connections.
Do not create hazards. Keep leads away from pedals, controls, doors, wheels, children and walkways.
Power, charging and operating conditions
Power behaviour: The PD input supports up to 60W with a suitable PD charger and cable, while the host ultimately decides the accepted power. The adapter has no battery and does not add wireless charging.
- Use only compliant, undamaged hosts, chargers and cables.
- Disconnect for unusual heat, smell, intermittent power, corrosion or visible damage.
- Do not cover adapters during charging or operation.
- Keep all contacts dry and free of conductive debris.
- No product in this batch should be treated as weather-resistant unless an IP rating is published.
Warnings and limitations
- Hearing: begin at low volume, limit exposure and stop if you notice discomfort or ringing.
- Electrical: never connect audio pins to mains, unknown industrial wiring or incompatible high-power outputs.
- Microphones: mute channels before plugging; for XLR, switch phantom power only when the connected microphone requires it.
- Driving: connect and configure vehicle audio while parked; do not route cables across pedals, steering or airbags.
- Water and heat: keep connectors dry and away from hot dashboards, heaters and direct sun.
- Mechanical: do not pull by the cable, close doors on leads or leave adapters protruding where they can be struck.
Troubleshooting
No playback. Check source output selection, destination input, mute state, volume and full connector seating.
No microphone. Confirm an mic-return path, correct TRRS/XLR wiring, recording-device selection and app permission.
Charging absent or slow. Confirm that this SKU supports charging, then test a compatible charger/cable and inspect host limits.
Noise or hum. Separate signal leads from power bricks, test another port/path and verify balanced grounding or AUX input role.
One channel missing. Reinsert the plug fully, inspect contacts and test each device with a known-good cable or headset.
USB device not recognised. Try a direct data-capable USB port, reboot audio services and check operating-system support.
