WRIARICH BYL-2208 5-in-1 Hub

This WRIARICH BYL-2208 hub expands a single USB-C port into a Gigabit Ethernet connection, three USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C port. It suits laptop and tablet users who need a wired network link and extra peripheral connections simultaneously. The aluminium casing and braided cable are built for regular transport. It works with Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Chrome OS and Linux without extra drivers.

Sustained load behaviour

The Gigabit Ethernet port delivers up to 1000 Mbps network throughput and steps down to 100 Mbps, 10 Mbps or 1 Mbps when the link requires it. USB 3.0 ports run at 5 Gbps for bulk data transfers and remain backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. All five ports operate together so file copies and network traffic share the upstream bandwidth without disabling any port.

Installation and common issues

Plug the USB-C connector into the host device and the hub is recognised immediately across the supported operating systems. The non-slip plug design helps seat the connection firmly. The braided nylon cable is rated for over 10000 bends, reducing cable fatigue. Users with only USB-A host ports cannot use this hub without a separate adapter, which is not included.

Questions about this item

Does the aluminium casing on the BYL-2208 keep it cool when the Gigabit Ethernet and three USB 3.0 ports run all day?

The premium aluminium alloy casing is described as heat-resistant and designed to dissipate heat during continuous operation of the 1000Mbps RJ45 port and three USB 3.0 ports.

Must my laptop have a USB-C port to use the BYL-2208 hub?

The hub uses a USB Type-C/Type-A plug design, so it works with devices that have either a USB-C or a standard USB-A port.

Will the BYL-2208 hub work with a Windows 7 laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, and Windows 7 is listed among the supported operating systems.
