Compact 4-Port USB-C Hub

The StarTech hub adds four USB-A ports to a single USB-C connection on laptops, tablets or desktops. It is suited to users who need extra connections for keyboards, mice, flash drives or other peripherals without installing internal cards. Bus-powered operation means no external adapter is required. The 61 cm host cable gives flexible placement on a desk.

Check host port and power budget

Verify that the host device provides a USB-C port able to supply enough current for every attached peripheral. High-draw devices such as spinning hard drives may exceed the bus-power limit and require their own power source. The hub uses a standard USB-C connector so no special protocol support is needed. Confirm the operating system recognises generic USB hubs before purchase.

Thermals noise and power in daily use

With no moving parts the hub runs silently and generates minimal heat during typical keyboard, mouse and flash-drive workloads. Power draw scales with the connected devices and stays within the host port’s bus-power capability. The aluminium casing helps dissipate the small amount of warmth produced. No fan noise or active cooling is involved.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a separate power adapter?

The box contains the 4-port USB-C hub, a cable tie and product documentation. No external power adapter is required because the hub draws power from the host USB-C port.

Which version should I choose for 5 Gbps data transfer with a 61 cm host cable?

This single model delivers 5 Gbps throughput and includes a fixed 61 cm host cable, so there is no alternative version to select.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I plug four USB-A devices into my laptop?

The 5 Gbps bandwidth is shared across all four USB-A ports, so simultaneous transfers will divide the available speed among the connected devices.
