A three-in-one multiport hub — HDMI out plus USB ports from a single USB-C connection. The smallest hub that will get a laptop onto a classroom display, which for most teachers is the only thing they need one for. What it does: HDMI video output USB ports for peripherals Long-Life reinforced cable at the connector Small enough to live in a laptop bag rather than a drawer, which is the difference between having it when you need it and borrowing one from the next room.

A nine-port desktop dock for a fixed workstation — one USB-C cable to the laptop, and everything else stays permanently connected. For a staff desk or a library terminal, this is what replaces the daily ritual of plugging in four separate cables. What it does: Nine ports from a single USB-C connection Display output, USB-A and USB-C ports, card reader and Ethernet Power pass-through, so the laptop charges through the same cable Desktop form factor — designed to stay on the desk, not travel Available in black or space grey. Dock or hub? A portable hub goes in the bag with the laptop and does two or three jobs. A desktop dock stays put and does everything, so arriving at the desk means connecting one cable. For a teacher with an assigned workstation, the dock saves a few minutes every single day. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A four-port USB 3.0 hub on a USB-A lead, for older laptops and desktop machines that don't have USB-C. Same slim body as the USB-C version — the difference is which way round it plugs in. What it does: Four USB 3.0 ports from a single USB-A connection Slim aluminium body with Long-Life reinforced cable No power adapter needed Space grey or black Check the laptop before ordering — if it has USB-C, the USB-C version leaves the USB-A ports free for something else. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A two-port USB 3.0 hub on a short USB-C lead. The smallest and cheapest hub in the range, for a laptop that just needs a mouse and a USB drive at the same time. What it does: Two USB 3.0 ports from a single USB-C connection Slim aluminium body Long-Life reinforced cable No power adapter needed If two ports won't cover it, the four-port version is only a few dollars more. Data only — for display output, look at the multiport hubs. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A slim four-port USB 3.0 hub on a short USB-C lead — the cheapest way to turn one port into four. For a laptop that has to run a mouse, a keyboard, a USB drive and a visualiser at the same time, this is usually all a classroom needs. What it does: Four USB 3.0 ports from a single USB-C connection Slim aluminium body Long-Life reinforced cable at the connector No power adapter needed Available in five colours — space grey, black, white, blue and green. Colour-coding by room or year level costs nothing and makes it obvious when a hub has wandered. Data only, not video. If you need to drive a display, look at the multiport hubs instead.

Multiport hubs that turn one USB-C port into everything a laptop is missing — HDMI for the classroom display, USB-A for older peripherals, Ethernet for wired network, and card slots for camera work. Choose by how much you need: 4-in-1 — the basics for a teacher laptop: display out and a couple of USB ports USB-A 5-in-1 — for older laptops and desktops that still run USB-A 8-in-1 — adds card readers and Ethernet, for media and STEM work 11-in-1 — a near-docking-station spec for a fixed workstation 14-in-1 — the full set, for a staff desk driving multiple displays Which to buy for a school. A teacher who moves between rooms wants the smallest hub that reaches a display — fewer ports means less to carry and less to lose. A fixed staff workstation is the opposite case, where a bigger hub replaces a drawer full of adapters. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

The Vision range uses a clear housing, so you can see the internals. That's mostly a styling choice — but in a classroom it's a genuinely useful one, because a transparent hub becomes a small teaching object when students ask what's inside the thing they plug into every day. Choose your configuration: 6-in-1 — HDMI, USB ports and power pass-through 6-in-1 with card reader — adds SD and MicroSD for camera and drone work 8-in-1 — the fullest Vision spec, adding Ethernet Long-Life construction at the cable and connector, which is where hubs fail in a school — the lead gets pulled sideways out of a laptop dozens of times a week.

A stand that sits under a Mac Mini M4 and adds ports plus an SSD enclosure — lifting the machine off the desk while putting the connections you use daily on the front instead of round the back. What it does: Raises the Mac Mini M4 with a matching aluminium stand Adds front-accessible ports Built-in SSD enclosure for expandable storage Where it fits in a school: a media or design workstation where a Mac Mini is the fixed machine and students plug in drives and cards constantly. Reaching behind the unit twenty times a day is the problem this solves. Check your model. This is sized for the M4 generation Mac Mini, which is a different shape from earlier models — for those, see the Stand and Hub for Mac Mini and Mac Studio.

A stand that lifts a Mac Mini or Mac Studio off the desk and brings its ports round to the front. On a machine designed to be tucked away, the daily problem is reaching behind it — this solves that and adds airflow underneath. What it does: Aluminium stand matching the Mac finish Front-accessible USB ports and card reader Raises the unit for airflow Silver or space grey Where it fits: a media, design or music workstation where the Mac is fixed and students plug in drives and cards through the day. Check your model. This fits the Mac Mini and Mac Studio shape. The newer M4 Mac Mini is a different size — see the M4 Stand & Hub for that generation. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A stand for iPad Pro and larger tablets with a hub built into the base — it holds the tablet at a working angle and adds the ports an iPad doesn't have. What it does: Aluminium stand holding an iPad Pro or similar tablet upright Built-in hub adding HDMI, USB and card reader Charges the tablet through the same connection Where it earns its place: an iPad being used as a working machine rather than a handheld one — senior media work, a front-desk terminal, or a teacher station where the tablet drives a display and takes a keyboard. Pairs with a Slim X1 or OntheGo keyboard for a full desktop setup on a tablet. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A desktop hub combining USB ports with SD and MicroSD card readers in one aluminium body. Designed to sit on a desk rather than hang off a laptop, which suits a fixed media workstation where cards come and go all day. What it does: USB 3.0 ports for peripherals and drives SD and MicroSD card readers built in Desktop form factor in aluminium Where it earns its place: media and film rooms, photography, drone programs and any class where footage comes off cards. Having the reader permanently on the desk beats hunting for a dongle. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A compact travel hub adding HDMI, USB and a headphone jack to a laptop or tablet. Small enough to live in a bag, which matters more than port count for a teacher who moves between rooms. What it does: HDMI output for classroom displays and projectors USB ports for peripherals 3.5mm headphone jack — useful on devices that have dropped it Silver or space grey Where it fits: a teacher laptop or an iPad used for presenting. The headphone jack is the detail worth noting — it means a wired headset still works on a device with only USB-C. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A multiport adapter with 4K HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet — the two things a modern laptop most often lacks when it has to work in a classroom or a lab. What it does: 4K HDMI output for displays, panels and projectors Gigabit Ethernet for wired network USB ports for peripherals Silver or space grey Why Ethernet matters in a school. Online assessment is the usual reason — a dropped Wi-Fi connection mid-session costs more than the adapter. Worth holding a few in the IT cupboard even if your fleet runs wireless day to day.

A USB-C hub that adds USB ports while passing power straight through, so the laptop keeps charging on the same port the hub occupies. On a machine with only one or two USB-C ports, that's the difference between using the hub and using the charger. What it does: Adds USB 3.0 ports over USB-C Power pass-through for charging while connected Slim aluminium body Pass-through is the whole point. A hub without it means choosing between peripherals and power — fine for a lesson, a problem for a full day at a desk. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

Slim multiport adapters that add HDMI, USB-A and card readers to a laptop or tablet that only has USB-C. Aluminium bodies sized to sit alongside a MacBook without looking bolted on. Choose by how many ports you need: 4-in-1 — display out plus a couple of USB ports. Enough for a teacher laptop that needs to reach a classroom display. 6-in-1 — adds card readers, for camera, drone and media work 7-in-1 — adds Ethernet, for wired network on a laptop with no RJ45 port OntheGo 7-in-1 — the same port count in a more portable body 13-in-1 Triple Display — drives three monitors, for a fixed workstation doing design, video or data work Buying for a school. A teacher moving between rooms wants the smallest adapter that reaches a display — fewer ports means less to carry and less to lose. A fixed workstation is the opposite: a bigger adapter replaces a drawer of dongles. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
