This USB 3.0 hub provides an easy way to expand your laptop’s connectivity by adding three USB-A ports and one USB-C port from a single USB-A host port. It is ideal for users who need more ports for peripherals like keyboards, mice, storage devices, or webcams. The hub supports high-speed data transfer up to 5Gbps, which is suitable for transferring large files quickly. It is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, ensuring compatibility with older devices.
The hub is bus-powered, meaning it draws power from the connected USB-A port, eliminating the need for an external power source. This makes it highly portable and convenient for use while traveling or working on the go. It can support up to 4.5W of power shared among all connected devices, which is sufficient for low-power peripherals like flash drives or keyboards. However, it may not be suitable for high-power devices like external hard drives that require more than 4.5W.
The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag or pocket. Its durable plastic housing ensures it can withstand regular use without damage. The included 5.5-inch cable allows for flexibility in placement, and the small form factor ensures it doesn’t take up much space on a desk or in a travel case. The hub is compatible with a wide range of operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS, Chrome OS, and Android, making it versatile for different users.
Setup is simple and requires no drivers or software installation. Just plug it into your laptop’s USB-A port and connect your devices. It is particularly useful for users who have newer USB-C peripherals but an older laptop with only USB-A ports. This allows them to connect their modern devices without needing to upgrade their laptop immediately.
