One thing to note when it comes to the power supply, it’s a bit large. With the upstream TB4/USB4 port that connects to your computer on the side of the hub, it uses a handy reversible design that lets you flip it and the removable rubber feet work on both sides (putting the connection on the left or right side). The CalDigit Element Hub features a solid build with an aluminum enclosure.
