HOST FIRST
Link H7
Compact USB-C hub concept
A compact multiport concept for laptop accessory ranges. Port layout and housing finish are development inputs; display output depends on the host configuration.
Verify DisplayPort Alt Mode on the intended host. A USB-C connector alone does not establish video or charging compatibility.
Build a device briefAll specifications, MOQ and planning windows below are illustrative.
EXAMPLE SPECIFICATION
The technical concept
- Host input
- USB-C / USB 3.2 Gen 1 concept
- Data ports
- 2 × USB-A + 1 × USB-C, shared 5 Gbps example
- Video interface
- HDMI-shaped output; target 4K / 30 Hz
- PD pass-through
- 100 W input target; host delivery to be validated
- Housing
- Anodized aluminum / 118 × 42 × 14 mm example
- Development MOQ
- 500 units / finish, illustrative only
Define what changes.
- Port layout and cable length
- Anodized finish and laser marking
- Retail carton and insert
Scope each change against material availability, tooling and the sample plan. Final feasibility is confirmed during development.
Agree what approval means.
- Host / OS matrix and display combinations
- Shared-bandwidth behavior under simultaneous load
- Housing temperature with charging and data load
These are example review topics. Methods, acceptance limits and required evidence must be agreed for the actual program.

Link H7 is a fictional product concept. Studio imagery illustrates the procurement environment and is not evidence of manufacture.
Link H7: before requesting a sample
What should the first sample resolve?
Host / OS matrix and display combinations. Agree the method, sample identification, acceptance limit and reporting format before testing.
What does the example MOQ include?
The number shown is a planning illustration only. Confirm material availability, tooling, finish or color variations, packaging, sample charges and commercial terms in a real quotation.
What evidence is still required?
Verify DisplayPort Alt Mode on the intended host. A USB-C connector alone does not establish video or charging compatibility. No test result, certified performance or customer approval is implied by this page.
