Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 expansion

This 5-in-1 hub adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet port and three USB 3.0 ports to laptops or desktops that lack them. A USB-C power input lets the hub supply extra current to connected peripherals. It works driver-free on Windows 10, 11, 8.1, macOS and Chrome OS.

Wired networking upgrade over Wi-Fi

The Gigabit RJ45 port delivers up to 1000 Mbps throughput for stable gaming, streaming and large-file transfers where wireless is unreliable. USB 3.0 ports run at up to 5 Gbps, ten times the speed of USB 2.0. The jump is worth it when low latency and consistent bandwidth matter more than cable-free convenience.

USB-A host with Type-C power passthrough

Plug the hub into any USB-A port on a MacBook, Surface, XPS or similar device to gain Ethernet and extra USB sockets simultaneously. The Type-C power port accepts an external adapter so high-draw drives or accessories run without overloading the host port. Not suited for hosts that only offer USB-C unless a separate USB-A adapter is used.

Questions about this item

Does the hub need a separate USB-C power cable to run high-draw devices?

Yes, the Type-C power port lets you connect an external USB-C power adapter so the three USB 3.0 ports can supply enough current for hard drives or other high-power peripherals.

What is the correct order to connect the hub for driver-free operation on Windows 10?

Plug the hub's USB-A connector into the host first, wait for the system to recognise the Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 controller, then attach the USB-C power cable if needed, and finally connect your Ethernet cable and peripherals.

Which parts of the hub are most likely to wear out and need replacement later?

The USB-A male plug that inserts into the host, the three USB-A female ports, and the RJ45 Ethernet jack are the mechanical interfaces that endure repeated insertion cycles and can eventually require replacement.
