Three USB 3.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet

This portable hub adds three USB 3.0 ports and a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port to any host computer with a USB 3.0 Type-A connection. It works with Mac and PC systems without requiring driver installation. The compact design makes it practical for travel or desk use where built-in ports are limited.

USB 3.0 bandwidth shared across four interfaces

The single USB 3.0 uplink carries traffic for all three downstream USB ports and the Ethernet controller at up to 5 Gbps. Simultaneous high-throughput transfers on multiple ports will contend for that shared bandwidth. The Ethernet link negotiates at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps depending on the connected network equipment.

Light duty expansion for everyday peripherals

The hub comfortably handles keyboards, mice, flash drives, and a wired network link for typical office or travel workloads. It is not suited for users who need sustained maximum throughput on several USB 3.0 devices at once or who require more than three additional Type-A ports. Bus-powered operation also limits the current available to downstream devices.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the three-port version or a model with more ports?

This hub provides exactly three USB 3.0 ports plus one Gigabit Ethernet port; no other port-count options are offered for this model.

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean when I plug in a drive?

The 5 Gbps figure is the interface ceiling; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the drive, cable quality and host controller.

The Gigabit Ethernet port lists 10/100/1000 — what speed will I actually get?

The port negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps; you will see 1000 Mbps only if the router, switch and cabling all support Gigabit.
