7 Port USB 3.0 Hub by StarTech.com – 5 Gbps Speed – Universal Desktop Extender (ST7300USB3B)

This 7-port USB 3.0 hub allows users to expand their computer's connectivity by adding seven external USB 3.0 ports from a single USB connection. It is designed for desktop use and provides a convenient way to connect multiple devices simultaneously without the need for additional power sources in most cases. The hub supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, making it ideal for transferring large files quickly.

The hub is compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It works with USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.x devices, ensuring backward compatibility for older peripherals. No additional drivers are required for installation, and it supports plug-and-play functionality for easy setup and use. The one-sided port orientation makes it easier to connect and disconnect devices without tangling cables.

The hub is built with a durable design that includes current overload detection and protection across all ports, ensuring safe operation even when multiple high-power devices are connected. It is bus powered, meaning it draws power directly from the host computer's USB port, though an optional power adapter is available for high-power devices. This makes it suitable for use in environments where access to a power outlet is limited.

The hub is perfect for users who need to connect multiple USB devices such as external hard drives, flash drives, keyboards, mice, and more. It helps organize desktop setups by separating tightly packed ports and extending the reach of USB devices. It can also act as a repeater to extend the range of USB signals over longer distances.
