Two-port desktop extension

The Tripp Lite U324-006-DSK2 converts a single USB 3.0 port into two ports and extends them up to 6 ft away. It is intended for users who need extra ports at a convenient desktop location without opening the computer case. One port carries both data and power while the second provides power only.

Simple plug-and-play install

Connect the male USB 3.0 A plug into the host port and the two female ports are ready to use; no drivers are required on modern operating systems. The 6 ft cable length may limit placement if the host port is far from the desired desk position. The power-only port will not transfer data, so devices needing communication must use the data/power port.

Up to 5 Gbps per port

The data/power port supports transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with earlier USB generations. The power-only port supplies charging current but does not carry data, so it cannot be used for storage or peripherals that require a data link. Both ports share the host controller’s total bandwidth.
