LENTION CB-C35H-1M Long-Cable Hub review

A longer host lead changes where the hub can sit

The CB-C35H-1M is useful when a short dongle lead would leave every peripheral cable crowded beside the laptop. The selected long-lead version is documented with a 1 m, approximately 3.3 ft, computer cable. Its connection mix combines four USB-A data sockets, one HDMI output and a USB-C charging path.

The first buying decision is the version. The manufacturer page also offers a shorter 0.2 m option. This assessment concerns the named 1 m configuration, not an assumption that every package on the shared page includes the same reach.

Plan the desk around the actual cable length

The longer attached lead can help place the hub where USB devices and an HDMI cable are easier to connect. Measure the route from the laptop’s port to the intended resting place, allowing room for the actual plug bodies and cable bends. A cable length alone does not establish that the complete connected setup fits a particular desk.

The host lead is tethered in the maker’s photograph. It is not a freely interchangeable cable that can be replaced with any chosen length. Select the correct offered version instead of relying on a separate extension to preserve every advertised function.

Four USB-A data sockets are the core expansion

LENTION explicitly describes connecting up to four USB-A devices at the same time, with advertised USB 3.0 data capability up to 5 Gbps. That can suit a desk with a keyboard, mouse and other familiar peripherals. It is a different port mix from an adapter intended mainly for downstream USB-C storage.

The computer connection is still shared. Four sockets do not create four independent full-speed paths back to the laptop. Consider the simultaneous workload, especially when several drives are involved, and check each peripheral’s power requirements as well as its connector.

The HDMI ceiling is 4K at 30 Hz

The exact long-cable model column lists HDMI up to 4K at 30 Hz. The source also explains that the actual resolution and refresh depend on the host, connected cable and display. A USB-C-shaped computer port without the required video function is not enough.

This is a single-HDMI arrangement. It does not establish two independent external desktops, and its 4K headline should not be read as 4K 60 Hz. If either requirement is essential, keep it selected when comparing alternatives rather than silently lowering the screen requirement to make the model fit.

Read the pass-through role within its stated limits

LENTION describes up to 60 W power pass-through for the host and attached devices. That supports the existence of a charging arrangement, but does not supply an unambiguous delivered-laptop ceiling under every shared load. This assessment therefore keeps the numeric host-output guarantee unspecified.

The inspected page does not establish a supplied wall charger. A suitable external power source and compatible laptop are needed for the intended charging function. The USB-C charging socket should not be counted as another independently specified downstream data connection.

Check the exact host and exclusions

The manufacturer names specific MacBook, Surface, Windows and Chromebook examples, including base-chip MacBook Air generations. Those named devices are more useful than assuming a broad compatibility statement proves every future computer or Pro/Max configuration.

The source excludes Apple SuperDrive and gives instructions for selecting display resolution and HDMI audio output in the computer’s settings. These are setup conditions, not claims that we measured transfer speed, temperature or charging performance.

Shortlist the 1 m version when moving the hub away from the laptop, connecting four USB-A devices and using one 4K 30 Hz HDMI screen match the job. Choose another port mix for built-in cards, wired networking, downstream USB-C data or a clearly specified minimum laptop-output wattage.

LENTION’s actual long-cable product page and CB-C35H-1M column establish the configuration discussed here.
