In my case, I use several SD cards in all kinds of speeds and flavors - including microSD. I also use many different USB thumb drives which makes this handy and good looking device a perfect accessory for my needs. It "attaches" in the "ducts" along the bottom edge of your iMac. Installation is simple - but you MUST understand the concept. The unit easily fits within the palm of your hand - to give you a perspective. Four USB ports, a standard SD and a microSD port and a single USB-C port are on either side of the the USB ports. There is a "wheel" on the back or rear of the unit that controls two of the four plastic "tabs" that will hold the hub in place. Make certain that all four tabs are "in line", then, place the tabs "inside" the "ducts" of the iMac (to make this easier, you might want to lay the iMac down - on a towel or other soft, protective surface). Because the short USB-C cable attached to the hub is designed to fit directly into one of the two iMac Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports, installation of the hub will be nearest to those two ports. Once you have placed the tabs within the "ducts" of the iMac, firmly hold the hub in place as you turn the black wheel on the rear of the hub which will move two of the four tabs inside the "duct" until they have tightened the hub securely in place. Finger tight is all you need, plus a tiny bit of a nudge - but be careful to avoid over-tightening. The pictures of the product on desertcart are excellent examples of how nice this accessory looks. All of the ports worked perfectly. It is NOT self-powered but I've had no problem loading multiple USB devices and SD cards. There is a very dim grey/white indicator light between the fourth USB port and the USB-C port that lets you know the unit is powered. It is not anywhere within your view of the iMac. One note - as with most USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, make sure you FIRMLY seat the USB-C/Thunderbolt adapter into the iMac port! My first attempt "felt" like I had plugged in the cable but it required an extra "uuumph" before I heard and and felt the adapter actually "plug" into the iMac ports. This was true on both of the Thunderbolt ports on my iMac. Regardless, this is an excellent accessory that may make using your Mac a bit more enjoyable. Review: Easy to connect, good selection of ports - Connected easily to my Mac and works well. ## Features - DESIGNED FOR IMAC - exclusively designed for iMac Pro and iMac (2017 & later) models with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Not compatible with older iMac models with standard Thunderbolt ports. Does not fit latest 2021 iMac. - EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH - quickly adds USB expansion ports to the front of your computer for convenient access to all your devices. - USB-C CONNECTION - securely plugs into your iMac's Thunderbolt 3 port via 6-inch shielded USB-C cable. Use the adjustable knob to fasten the hub to the bottom of your computer. USB-C port can be used for data transfer only.

Do you need the hold the hub steady with one hand?** A: I found (with device received in December 2019) that I had to use a lot of force to unplug or plug in a USB cable. You definitely have to use two hands. I'm considering returning the device, maybe another one will work better. **Q: Does it block sound from the speakers?** A: You can mount it anywhere at the bottom of the monitor. I mounted mine in the center. Looks better in my opinions. **Q: Similar devices cause interference with wireless mouse & keyboard receivers...does this hub have any issues?** A: My Apple Magic Trackpad 2 is 8" away from the hub. My wireless keyboard is a little further away, and I have a Macbook Pro nearby using the previous generation Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad in the vicinity as well. I have not noticed any interference with any of them; such as unexpected disconnects or odd or slow cursor motion etc. **Q: Does this come in silver?** A: Dear Mark, Thank you for your interest in Satechi products! Yes, we do have the Type-C Clamp Hub Pro available in Silver. Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock but we should have more in stock within 2 weeks. Please contact support@satechi.com if you have any questions.

Installation was helped by others in this forum who explained that one must align the tabs, insert the device up into the cooling ports of the monitor, and then twist the tensioning knob. This spreads the tabs and secures the device. It requires two hands to get a tight fit, but the items stays in place once attached in this way. Having said that, I still use two hands when plugging our unplugging things into the device. One to hold the plug and one to hold the Satechi device, to be sure it doesn't move or come out. All the ports work as promised. My SD card goes in and comes out with no difficulties. The device powers anything I have put into it, and whatever is plugged in appears in Finder as a connected device. Complaints? Poor instructions. Recommend? Yes. Would I buy it again? Yes. Knowing what I now know, and having used the device for a while, I would still make the purchase, or would purchase it again if I needed another, similar device. UPDATE 5/11/2021. It's been a year and this device c ontinues to perform flawlessly. I can still recommend it without reservation. Just remember to install it properly and to support it when removing things from it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Satechi Aluminum Type-C Clamp Hub Pro with USB-C Data Port, USB-A 3.0 Data, Micro/SD Card Reader - Compatible with 2020/2019/2017 iMac & iMac Pro, Does Not Fit 2021 iMac (Space Gray) - Apple Magic Trackpad - White Multi-Touch Surface ​​​​​​​ - Apple iMac Pro 27in All-in-One Desktop,Intel,32 GB, Space Gray (MQ2Y2LL/A) (Renewed)1000 GB,macOS High Sierra --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/56458993-aluminum-type-c-clamp-hub-pro-with-usb-c-data](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/56458993-aluminum-type-c-clamp-hub-pro-with-usb-c-data) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
