How can this hub achieve 85W Power Delivery charging?
To get 85W charging, use a USB-C wall charger and a USB-C to C cable that both support 100W PD charging.
Does this hub get hot?
When the hub is fully loaded, it may reach a surface temperature of around 149°F. However, this is normal for products of this kind.
Can I connect two monitors via this 555 USB C hub?
No, it cannot connect two monitors. The 555 USB C hub is designed to support only a single monitor connection through its HDMI port. Unfortunately, it does not have the capability to connect two monitors simultaneously using this hub.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1.Does the USB-C Power Delivery port support charging for tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones?
Due to the power input limitations of mobile devices, this hub can not provide pass-through charging to tablets (including iPad Pro) or phones when using the original wall charger that came with your mobile device. To support full-speed charging for iPad Pro, use an adapter that supports at least 15V (45W).
2.Why can't my HDMI resolution reach 4K@60Hz?
The HDMI port supports a variety of resolutions up to 4K@60Hz, including 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and 480p. For 4K@60Hz resolution, please confirm your device supports DP 1.4. Below are some devices that support DP1.4:
MacBook Air 2021/2022
MacBook Pro 14/16" 2021
MacBook Pro 15” 2018 / 2019
MacBook Pro 16” 2019
iPad Pro 2018 / 2019 / 2020/2021/2022 (Only iPad Pros with iPadOS are compatible)
Compatibility
MacBook Pro ( 2021 / 2020 / 2019 / 2018 / 2017 / 2016 )

XPS (13 inch / 15 inch) / Pixelbook (2017) / Incompatible Devices / Nintendo Switch / USB SuperDrive
Notes
- The USB-C port on this hub does not support video output.

The moment I noticed this thing on Amazon, I bought it and it literally just arrived. Finally, 4K60 over just USB-C with other ports (including making up to 10Gbps available to them) for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the first two things I've done with it were both disappointing. I'll cut to the chase, the power delivery pass through isn't working with one of their own chargers.
The first device I tried connecting this with is my Anker PD4 with one USB-C cable as the only thing plugged into it so I can test the truly up to 100W (-15 for its own power) claims. I've tried connecting it with Apple's 2m USB-C charge cable (100w capable) and an equivalent CableMatters cable that also supports 100W. When plugged directly into my laptop, both of these cables immediately start charging it and show up as 100W power sources. When this Anker hub is plugged in and either of them is connected to the power delivery port on the side of it, the laptop does not charge (laptop is a 16" Macbook Pro, I've tried multiple ports just for the heck of it).
My second complaint is that when absolutely nothing is plugged into it, it becomes fairly warm to the touch. Why, when it's doing nothing, is it hot? I'm clearly not running data or even power through it so I have low hopes for it under load.
The fact that it doesn't work in exactly the scenario they want it to most (a MacBook Pro with one of their own chargers) seems like a pretty big fail. I've got lots of USB-C things though so I thought I'd grab a couple and try those. Using an Apple 96W USB-C charger, the device does pass through power delivery properly. It shows up as providing 79W to the laptop (siphoning off 17W in this instance). I also have a 56W Aukey charger that splits power between a USB-A port and a USB-C port that can provide 45W of power delivery. When plugged into that charger it does appear to work as well and appears in macOS as a 30W power source.
Maybe the problem is the Anker PD4? But it works fine providing power to the laptop directly. Would love to hear from Anker about these two products working together and what I should actually expect. Having it be unreliable for power delivery isn't great, but power and heat aside (it is getting a little bit warmer now that it's providing power from the Apple power adapter, but still definitely holdable), the hardware looks and feels good and the cable feels durable. Worth also noting that there's a white LED ring on the side of it that appears to be always on when it's plugged in. Don't know why it needs an LED.
-----
Update, June 22, 2020:
I've done some more testing and Anker has reached out to me to investigate what might be the issue. I can say that the hub works as I would expect from a quick test with my iPad Pro 11" with the above functioning chargers. It was able to pass through power with the 96W Apple Charger on the other end to both the iPad port as well as a Magic Keyboard port. The ethernet adapter showed up in iOS settings and an external drive was functional. When connected via the Magic Keyboard, which is a power only connection, as expected it provided only power.
Still no power passthrough of any kind when connected to the PD4.
-----
Update July 1, 2020:
I've written back and forth with Anker and they've sent me a replacement hub. It also doesn't work with the PD4. I've tried multiple USB-C cables but they have also shipped a cable to test with it. For now I'm increasing the review from 2 to 3 stars because I am more and more suspicious about the PD4 and less about this hub. They claim that they have tested the setup I have separately without issue, and I've sent video showing the problems I've encountered, so the troubleshooting is ongoing.
Have had a chance to use Ethernet on it without issue. Still need to try to test out its throughput when trying to use a 10Gbps USB-C enclosure and a 4K60 monitor at the same time (+ ethernet).
More updates to come.
-----
Update July 10, 2020:
I've continued to talk with Anker support and they shipped me a replacement PD4. The one I had was labeled as "Iteration 1" on its barcode, the one I got back was labeled "Iteration 2". I tested it out and it works perfectly with this hub, passing through the correct amount of power to multiple Macbook Pros and fast charging an iPad Pro. Clearly the fault doesn't lie with this hub and is instead an issue with the first iteration PD4, so I'm updating my review accordingly. Working with Anker support was great.
I've also been able to test USB-C throughput (without driving a display as well so far) and it properly utilizes 10Gbps. I've attached some extra images showing various devices connected to it (keyboard dongle, SD card, USB-C 10Gbps external SSD enclosure, USB sound card, ethernet).

I can not speak for the Power delivery as my laptop's input power delivery does not work, but the USB C input works well, as does the Ethernet port, though I have not used them for too long.
For some reason, and I’m not sure why, but the Ethernet doesn’t work with COD, not sure if it’s the device or the game. Gets quite warm too.
Since the hub works mostly for what it's intended for, I will skip the positives. The real consideration is really whether there are ports an individual is looking for and it's fairly self-explanatory from the product descriptions and pictures. One quick thing to note, any charger below 100W go through the hub becomes ~85% capacity for Mac (i.e. Mac will read a 80W charger as ~68W charger). I never tried >100W chargers.
The nuances that any prospective buyer may want to watch out for:
1) The first thing is not specific to Mac. The port locations can be an issue for some depending on individual cabling situation. I was looking for a hub that had to have ethernet and HDMI ports as well as PD capability. Anker 555 hub offered all the ports I needed and then some, but I did end up having cables coming out of the hub in all 4 directions, making situating the hub and cable management more of a hassle, if not a nightmare.
2) This may be a mac specific thing. For both Macs I've tried, the way PD works caused the computers oscillate between sleep and sightly higher power draw in a 40 - 50sec intervals. When the computers sleeps without the hub and connects to charger directly, they go into a sleep mode with a very small current draw. When the hub is connected and providing power, the computers would have 10W power spikes every 40 - 50sec and logs a ton of wake/sleep cycles. I felt tiring, like a restless night of sleep (maybe just my own OCD).
With all the quarks I'm not liking, I still think this hub is still good for traveling and one-off usage (just not for long term desk setup, not for me at least).

No need to have laptop with me and I can backup pictures and movies while traveling.
Back at home it works VERY VERY fast when connected to computer.
