Five-in-one hub for laptop expansion

This USB 3.0 hub adds three standard ports and two card slots to a single host connection. It suits mobile users who need to attach a keyboard, mouse and storage drive while also reading SD or micro-SD media. The 1.2 metre cable reaches ports on the back of a desktop or under a desk without strain. No external power adapter or driver installation is required.

Sustained 5 Gbps throughput across active ports

The hub operates at USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices. All three downstream ports can transfer data simultaneously without dropping to burst-only rates. The card reader handles high-capacity SD and micro-SD cards at the same bus speed. Bus power alone supports typical peripheral loads during extended sessions.

Compact aluminium shell with fixed 1.2 m lead

The housing is small enough to sit beside a laptop or tuck behind a monitor. Its integrated cable eliminates loose detachable leads that can be misplaced. SD and micro-SD slots are oriented differently; the maker advises against populating both at once. Three Type-A ports accept standard flash drives, hard drives and input devices side by side.

Questions about this item

Does the 4 ft cable help keep the hub cool when all three USB 3.0 ports and the card reader are in use all day?

The 1.2 m cable lets you place the hub where airflow is better, and the unit draws power from the host port so it adds no extra heat source of its own.

What must my computer already have for the SD and TF slots to work at USB 3.0 speeds?

A USB 3.0 Type-A port on the host is required; the hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 but will run at the slower rate on those ports.

Can I leave a USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse plugged into this hub while I swap SD cards on an older laptop?

Yes, the hub supports USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices on its three downstream ports simultaneously with the card reader, though only one card slot should be used at a time.
