USB-C Hub for Laptop Expansion
The LUOM ULC28 Silver hub adds a Gigabit Ethernet port and three USB 3.0 ports to a single USB-C connection. It suits users who need wired networking and extra USB-A sockets on modern laptops or desktops. No driver installation is required for the listed operating systems.
Aluminium Build with Reversible Connector
An aluminium housing provides rigidity and helps dissipate heat during sustained transfers. The reversible USB-C plug inserts either way up, while the three USB-A ports and RJ45 jack sit ready for simultaneous use. LEDs show power and activity status at a glance.
5 Gbps USB Limit and 1 Gbps Network Ceiling
Each USB 3.0 port shares a maximum throughput of 5 Gbps, so total bandwidth divides across connected drives or peripherals. The Ethernet link tops out at 1000 Mbps, which is faster than typical wireless but below multi-gigabit wired standards. Power comes solely from the host USB-C port.

Questions about this item
Does the USB 3.1 interface cap the Gigabit Ethernet port at 1000 Mbps?
The USB 3.1 connection provides up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, so the RJ45 port can run at its full 10/100/1000 Mbps rate without bottleneck.
What physical clearance does the aluminium housing need beside a USB-C port?
The slim aluminium casing sits flush against the laptop edge; allow roughly 10 mm side clearance so adjacent cables do not press the slanted corners.
How is the hub installed, and which step do users often skip?
Plug the reversible USB-C connector into the host — no driver needed — then attach Ethernet and USB devices; the step often missed is seating the Type-C plug fully until it clicks.
