One-to-three USB-C expansion

This cable turns a single USB-C port into three USB-C female ports, letting you attach mice, keyboards, flash drives, card readers or a printer at the same time. It also includes a USB-C female to USB 2.0 male adapter so the same hub can be used on older USB 2.0 sockets. The built-in hub chip handles data and charging across all three outputs.

USB 2.0 to triple USB-C conversion

When a laptop or tablet only offers one USB-C or a legacy USB 2.0 port, this adapter adds three Type-C connections without needing a dock or external power supply. The 480Mbps link is sufficient for peripherals and file transfers, while the 5V 1A per port charging keeps phones and small accessories topped up. The 26cm braided lead keeps the hub close to the device for tidy cable management.

Check port type and power budget

Verify that your host can supply 5V 3A through its USB-C or USB 2.0 port, otherwise the three downstream ports will share less current. Confirm the connected devices do not exceed 1A each, as higher-draw hardware such as bus-powered drives may not spin up. The aluminium housing and LED indicator are fixed, so ensure the 26cm reach fits your desk layout.

Questions about this item

How long is the braided aluminium cable and what connectors does it end in?

The braided aluminium cable is 26 cm or 10.2 in long and terminates in a single USB-C male plug that splits to three USB-C female ports.

What is the correct order to connect the included USB-C female to USB 2.0 male converter so the host recognises all three ports?

Plug the converter into the host's USB 2.0 port first, then attach the main cable's USB-C male plug into the converter; reversing the order can prevent the hub chip from enumerating.

When should the LED indicator be checked to confirm the hub chip is still distributing 5 V 1 A to each port?

Verify the LED lights solid when the cable receives 5 V 3 A input; if it flickers or stays dark under load, the internal hub chip or power path may be degrading.
