Overview

The HP 50H98AA is a 7-in-1 USB-C multiport hub that concentrates an HDMI 2.0 port, a DisplayPort 1.2 port, two USB-A ports, one USB-C data port, one USB-C passthrough port, and one RJ45 Ethernet port into a 4-ounce enclosure measuring 5.91 × 2.17 × 0.85 inches. The dual-display capability is the headline specification: HDMI 2.0 supports 4K@30Hz and DisplayPort 1.2 supports 4K@30Hz when both outputs are active simultaneously; running a single display steps either port up to 4K@60Hz. The critical context is that all of this passes through one USB-C upstream link to the host machine — meaning total bandwidth is shared, and heavy simultaneous use of multiple high-bandwidth ports will produce measurable throughput reductions on each.

This hub is designed for the laptop user who carries one cable and expects it to reconstruct a full desktop environment on arrival. It is well-suited for MacBook, Chromebook, or Windows ultrabook users who regularly move between a desk with external displays and a travel bag — the 4-ounce weight and bus-powered operation mean there is no power brick to manage. The cross-OS driver-free compatibility is a genuine practical advantage in mixed-environment offices. Where it falls short is in demanding configurations: video editors who need dual 4K@60Hz, or power users with 100W+ laptops who depend on passthrough charging at full rated wattage, will find the single-cable bandwidth budget a binding constraint and should evaluate a Thunderbolt 4 dock instead.

Key Features

Universal USB-C. Every OS. One simple, single USB-C cable plugs into your PC, regardless of the brand or OS so you can use your hub seamlessly. This hub now supports Windows, macOS and ChromeOS.

All kinds of ports: 7 multifunction ports provide a complete solution for just about any data, video, or network connection. 1 HDMI 2.0, 1 DisplayPort 1.2, 2 USB-A ports, 1 USB-C port, 1 USB-C passthrough port, and 1 ethernet port

Powers dual 4K displays: This small but mighty hub supports HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 connections for a higher quality resolution at 4K

Connect & power your PC: Keep your PC charged via the USB-C passthrough while powering up or connecting data through the 7 total ports.

Designed to travel: Slim and sleek design makes it easy to take on the go. Just pack alongside your PC and know that you can connect it all.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Dual 4K display output via HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 from a single USB-C cable connection
Cross-OS compatibility (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS) with no driver installation required
USB-C passthrough allows simultaneous host charging and full 7-port peripheral use
Compact 4-ounce form factor designed for travel without a separate carrying case
Seven distinct port types cover data, video, and network in one device — no additional adapters needed

👎 Cons

Dual 4K output is limited to 30Hz per display — insufficient for fluid motion work or high-refresh-rate monitor users
No specified wattage on the USB-C passthrough port, making power delivery unpredictable for high-draw laptops
All 7 ports share the bandwidth of a single USB-C upstream connection, meaning simultaneous heavy use across ports will cause throughput contention
No SD card or 3.5mm audio port — users needing those connections require an additional adapter

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this hub drive two 4K monitors simultaneously, and at what refresh rates?

Yes, with a caveat on resolution. The hub supports dual 4K output, but at 30Hz per display when both are active. If you run a single display, it supports up to 4K@60Hz via either the HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 port. This is a bandwidth constraint of the single USB-C connection to the host, not a defect.

How much power does the USB-C passthrough port deliver to the connected laptop?

The product does not publish a specific wattage for the passthrough port. It is designed to keep your laptop charged while the hub is in use, but users with high-wattage laptops (95W+) should verify that passthrough delivery meets their needs before relying on it as a primary charging source.

Does the RJ45 Ethernet port support Gigabit speeds?

The port is listed as an Ethernet port in the spec sheet but HP does not specify the maximum throughput in the product documentation. Based on the hub's USB-C bandwidth budget shared across all ports, real-world throughput will vary depending on concurrent port activity.

Is a driver installation required to use this hub on macOS or ChromeOS?

No. The hub is designed for driver-free plug-and-play operation on Windows 10/11, macOS, and ChromeOS via the USB-C connection — no software installation required.

Can the USB-C data port and USB-C passthrough port be used simultaneously?

Yes. They are separate ports with separate functions — the passthrough handles power delivery to the host machine while the data USB-C port handles peripheral connections independently.
