Seven-port USB-C hub

This StarTech HB30C5A2CSC docking station converts a single USB Type-C port into five USB-A and two USB-C ports. It supports USB 3.0 data rates up to 5 Gbps and includes a 1-metre host cable for flexible desk placement. An external power adapter supplies the hub and its dedicated fast-charge port.

Suits laptops with limited ports

Users who need to connect multiple USB-A peripherals and USB-C devices from one Type-C socket will find the seven downstream ports convenient. The hub requires an AC outlet for its power adapter, so it is less practical for fully mobile use without mains access.

One fast-charge USB-A port

The hub provides a dedicated USB-A charge port delivering up to 1.5 amps under the USB Battery Charging 1.2 specification. The two USB-C ports carry data only and do not supply power or video.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 7-port model or a smaller hub with fewer ports?

This hub provides five USB-A ports and two USB-C ports from one USB-C laptop connection, so you only need it if you regularly attach seven devices at once.

What does the 5Gbps rating mean when I plug in a fast external SSD?

The 5Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 interface ceiling; real-world SSD transfers will be lower due to protocol overhead and the drive's own limits.

The USB-C ports are labelled USB 3.0 — does that cap video or charging?

Yes, the two USB-C ports are data-only at 5Gbps; they do not carry video or Power Delivery, and the single fast-charge USB-A port supplies up to 1.5 amps.
