Buffalo Debuts New Compact USB Type-C Hub
In an era where our devices are at the center of our daily activities, Buffalo has stepped up to make our lives easier with the introduction of its latest product: the BSHM2U100C1P series USB Type-C hub, available starting August 2026. This compact and efficient hub allows for simultaneous charging, data transfer, and video output, making it a versatile tool for smartphone and tablet users.
Dual Ports for Enhanced Functionality
Buffalo’s new hub features two USB Type-C ports designed for charging and data transfer. With support for USB Power Delivery (PD), the PD input port can handle up to 100W, which means users can quickly charge their devices while utilizing other functionalities. Although the hub consumes up to 8W for operation and data transfer, users can still charge their devices with a maximum of 92W output – enough to keep your devices powered while you work or enjoy multimedia content.
Seamless High-Speed Data Transfers
Equipped with USB 3.2 (Gen2) technology, the BSHM2U100C1P series supports data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. This capability ensures that large video files and other significant data can be moved swiftly and efficiently. Buffalo also offers a complimentary application, "Photo Backup," which simplifies the process of backing up photos and videos from smartphones to external USB storage devices. When combined with an SSD or USB memory that supports Type-C, users can effortlessly manage their digital memories.
Stunning Video Output
The data transfer port is capable of 4K video output at 60Hz, allowing users to easily enjoy their content on external monitors or displays. To take advantage of this feature, however, connecting devices must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode --- something to keep in mind when setting up your viewing experience.
Lightweight and Portable Design
With a weight of only about 9 grams, the BSHM2U100C1P series is smaller than most standard smartphones, making it extremely portable. This design ensures that it won’t be a hassle in your bag when you’re on the go. Furthermore, easy plug-and-play functionality means that no complicated driver installations are necessary; simply connect it to your device’s Type-C port, and you’re ready to go!
Additional Notes
It’s important to note that this product does not include a USB charger or cable. Moreover, when attempting to output copy-protected content, all connected devices must comply with HDCP2.2 standards. Users should also be aware that additional, separately sold cables may be required for specific setups, such as connections to monitors or televisions.
