Portable connectivity hub

This compact hub plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on a laptop to add two USB-C and two USB-A ports. It is bus-powered and draws up to 15 watts from the host, so no external adapter is needed. The built-in 9.8 inch cable keeps the setup tidy for travel or desk use. Plug-and-play installation works without drivers.

Build integration

The hub occupies a single host port while freeing up four downstream connections for mixed peripherals. Total available power depends on the host port capability, so high-draw devices may need their own supply. The 25 cm attached cable gives enough reach to clear bulky connectors or tight port spacing. It suits setups where desk space and cable count must stay minimal.

Sustained operation

Rated for 10 Gbps throughput, the hub maintains Gen 2 speeds across all ports during long transfers. Bus-powered operation means thermal output stays low and scales with the host power budget. Performance remains stable as long as the combined device draw stays within the 15 watt limit. It is not suited for workloads that exceed host power delivery or require continuous maximum bandwidth on every port simultaneously.
