censreal 7-port USB 3.0 data hub splitter gender changer

SKU CH-XZ2X-9TBT2

Turns one USB 3.0 port into seven ports running simultaneously at up to 5 Gbps with built-in over-current and over-voltage protection

  • Expands one USB port into seven simultaneous connections
  • Plug-and-play operation with no driver installation required
  • Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.0 devices
  • Transfers data at up to 5Gbps for rapid file moves
  • Built-in chip protects against over-current, over-voltage and short circuits

Seven USB 3.0 ports from one connection

This 7-port USB 3.0 hub expands a single Type-A port into seven downstream ports that all operate simultaneously. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.0 devices and requires no driver installation on supported systems. An internal protection chip guards against over-current, over-voltage, short circuits and excessive heat.

Suits users adding many low-power peripherals

Ideal for connecting keyboards, mice, flash drives, card readers, printers or a USB fan to a laptop, desktop, Mac, Xbox or PlayStation 4. Not suitable for buyers who need bus power for multiple high-draw devices such as portable hard drives, or for anyone requiring an included external power adapter.

5 Gbps shared bandwidth across seven ports

The hub signals at up to 5 Gbps per the USB 3.0 specification, but that throughput is divided among all active ports. If your workflow demands sustained 5 Gbps on several ports at once, this single-host-controller design will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 7-port version or a smaller hub for my setup?

The 7-port model turns a single USB 3.0 port into seven simultaneous connections, so choose it when you need to attach multiple drives, keyboards, mice or other peripherals at once.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when I copy files to an external drive?

The hub supports USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbps, so real-world transfers will be limited by the drive itself but can reach several hundred megabytes per second with a fast SSD.

Which USB standard does this hub use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses USB 3.0, capping the shared bandwidth at 5 Gbps across all seven ports, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.0 devices.
