FAQ
What is the data transfer speed of this USB hub?
The C2G54461 hub supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 gigabits per second (Gbps). This speed is approximately ten times faster than USB 2.0, making it suitable for transferring large files quickly or running high-bandwidth peripherals like external solid-state drives. The hub maintains this speed across all four ports when connected to a compatible USB 3.0 host port.
Is this hub compatible with USB 2.0 devices?
Yes, the hub is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. When you connect older peripherals like keyboards, mice, or printers, they will operate at their native speeds (480 Mbps for USB 2.0 or 12 Mbps for USB 1.1). This compatibility ensures that legacy equipment remains functional without requiring separate adapters or hubs.
Does the hub require an external power adapter?
No, this hub is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the host computer's USB port. This design eliminates the need for an external power adapter, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter. However, bus-powered operation may limit power delivery to high-demand devices like external hard drives without their own power supplies; for such devices, ensure your computer's USB port provides adequate power.
What devices are ideal to connect to this USB hub?
This hub is designed for common USB peripherals including keyboards, mice, webcams, printers, external storage drives (HDDs and SSDs), card readers, and charging cables. It works particularly well with laptops that have limited built-in ports, such as ultrabooks or Chromebooks. The 5Gbps speed makes it excellent for data-intensive tasks like backing up files or editing media directly from external drives.
What are the physical dimensions of the hub?
The hub measures 3.14 inches in width, 1.57 inches in length, and 0.57 inches in height (approximately 79.76 mm × 39.88 mm × 14.48 mm). This compact size makes it easy to place on a desk without occupying much space, and its lightweight construction enhances portability for travel. The black finish ensures it blends well with most computer setups.
What warranty does this product include?
The C2G54461 hub comes with a 5-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, providing long-term reliability assurance. For warranty claims or support, refer to the documentation included with the product or contact C2G customer service with your proof of purchase.
