USB 5Gbps performance

Supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates up to 5Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.

What to know before ordering

Expand one USB-A computer port into four USB-A 5Gbps ports with a compact, bus-powered hub and attached 130mm host cable. Check the exact host, display, mounting, cable, power and compatibility requirements below before purchase.

Compatibility checklist

The host computer needs an available USB-A data port; a USB-C connector alone does not guarantee every optional USB-C feature, but this hub requires only USB data.
The 5Gbps bandwidth and bus power are shared across all connected devices; high-power peripherals may need their own power source.
This is a data hub with no dedicated fast-charge port, display output, network port or Power Delivery pass-through.

Common applications

Connect a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or card reader
Add accessible USB-A ports to a laptop or desktop
Carry a compact hub between office, classroom, hot-desk and travel setups

DeviceDeal purchase confidence
