Our take
Microsoft SWV-00002 is a travel hub with one USB-C and one USB-A data port, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 4K/60Hz, and VGA. It can charge compatible accessories but Microsoft explicitly says it does not charge a laptop.
A traveler who needs one wired network jack, a choice of HDMI or VGA display connection, and two USB accessory ports without laptop charging through the hub..
A buyer who needs a hub to charge the laptop, use HDMI and VGA simultaneously, or attach more than two USB data devices without another hub.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- Microsoft and Euronics identify the SWV-00002 model and its port roles.
- HDMI up to 4K/60Hz, VGA, and Gigabit Ethernet are documented.
- The maker clearly distinguishes accessory charging from laptop charging.
What to weigh up
- HDMI and VGA cannot be used at the same time.
- Only one USB-C and one USB-A downstream data port are listed.
- The model does not charge a laptop and B09TG7KT3F is not mapped to a current offer.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
Use it to combine network, display and two accessory ports
The Microsoft SWV-00002 is a travel-oriented USB-C adapter that combines USB data, accessory power, networking and video connections. Its five downstream functions are one USB-C port, one USB-A port, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and VGA. That layout can help a traveler or desk worker connect a wired network, a display and a couple of peripherals through one host cable. It is not a high-count USB expander: there are only two USB data connectors. Buyers should count the actual USB ports separately from the Ethernet and display functions, especially when comparing it with a hub that has four or more USB-A outputs. For a meeting room, VGA may avoid a separate converter, but it does not add a second simultaneous display.
Choose the display connection around HDMI or VGA
Microsoft specifies HDMI 2.0 video up to 4K/60Hz and includes VGA for older projectors and displays. The manufacturer and retailer note that HDMI and VGA cannot be used simultaneously. This means the hub is a one-display choice, with a connection option suited to newer HDMI screens or legacy VGA equipment, rather than a dual-display adapter using both outputs at once. The host computer must also support video output over USB-C. Check the laptop's specification and the display's input before relying on a particular mode. A USB-C socket alone does not guarantee that the computer can send video through the hub.
Know what the USB ports can power
The USB-A and USB-C downstream ports are listed for Gen 2 data up to 10Gbps and pass-through charging for compatible accessories. Microsoft explicitly says the Travel Hub does not charge a laptop. That distinction matters because a small USB-C port on a hub can be confused with laptop power delivery: on this model, the listed pass-through charging supports accessories, not the host notebook. If you need to keep a laptop charged through a dock, select a product with a documented host PD input and output instead. The 10Gbps figure is a maker specification, not a measured result for two simultaneous file transfers.
Use Gigabit Ethernet when the network connection matters
The Travel Hub includes a Gigabit Ethernet jack for a wired network connection. This can be useful in a hotel, office or home where Wi-Fi is unavailable or inconsistent, but the hub's Ethernet specification does not guarantee an internet speed. The computer, router, network cable and service all affect performance. The maker documentation presents it as one function among the adapter's five connections; it does not document higher-than-Gigabit networking or a separate power input. Buyers who need faster-than-1Gbps wired network throughput should compare against a model that states that exact capability rather than assuming the travel-hub label indicates it.
Confirm SWV-00002 on the selected result
The official Microsoft page describes a Surface USB-C Travel Hub, while Euronics identifies its manufacturer part number as SWV-00002 and lists the associated port roles. Neither inspected source maps Amazon ASIN B09TG7KT3F to the exact current listing. Search by SWV-00002 and compare the product photos, model label, USB ports and HDMI/VGA arrangement. The combination is distinctive, but Microsoft also sells other travel and dock products with different port maps. This review relies on manufacturer and retailer specifications. It makes no claim about current Amazon availability, price, customer-review consensus, measured network speed or hands-on testing.
