Portable USB-A hub for laptops and desktops

This four-port hub adds extra USB-A connections to a computer through a single USB-A host port. It is intended for users who need more ports for peripherals such as mice, keyboards or flash drives while travelling or working at a desk.

Bus-powered operation

The hub draws power from the host USB-A connection and supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps. When connected devices require more current than the host port can supply, the USB-C auxiliary power input can be used to provide additional power.

Check host port type and cable reach before ordering

The host connector is USB-A and the attached cable is 30 cm long, so the hub must sit close to the computer. Verify that your device has an available USB-A port and that the short cable length suits your workspace layout.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this four-port hub or a different capacity?

This model provides exactly four USB-A downstream ports, so it is the correct choice when you need to connect up to four USB-A peripherals at once.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean once the hub is plugged into my computer?

The 5 Gbps figure is the maximum theoretical bandwidth of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 link; real-world throughput will be lower and shared among all devices connected to the four ports.

Which interface does the hub use and what does it limit in practice?

The hub connects via a built-in USB-A host cable and uses the USB 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps standard, which caps the total combined data rate for all four ports at 5 Gbps.
