Product Features
Technical Overview
This hub operates through a single USB Type-C host connection, delivering full USB 3.1 Gen 1 performance across all four downstream ports. The reversible connector design ensures hassle-free plug-and-play operation, while the internal circuitry maintains stable power distribution and data integrity. Each port supports transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.
The hub requires no external power adapter, drawing operational power directly from the host system through the USB Type-C connection. Its chipset manages bandwidth allocation dynamically, preventing performance degradation when multiple high-speed devices are connected simultaneously. The design includes built-in surge protection and electromagnetic interference shielding for enhanced durability in office and professional environments.
Relevant factors for this section include Host Interface, Total Number of USB Ports, Number of USB 3.1 Ports.

FAQ
What devices can I connect to this USB hub?
You can connect any USB-powered peripheral including flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, and audio interfaces. The hub supports both data transfer devices and bus-powered accessories, though high-power devices like some external hard drives may require their own power supply for optimal operation.
Does this hub require external power or drivers?
No external power adapter is needed—the hub draws power directly from your computer's USB Type-C port. It also operates without additional drivers on Windows 10/11, macOS 10.10+, and most modern Linux distributions, making it truly plug-and-play across supported platforms.
What is the difference between USB 3.1 and USB Type-C?
USB 3.1 refers to the data transfer standard supporting speeds up to 5 Gbps (Gen 1) or 10 Gbps (Gen 2). USB Type-C describes the physical reversible connector shape. This hub uses a USB Type-C connector for the host connection while providing four USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports for peripherals, combining the convenience of the reversible design with modern transfer speeds.
Can I use this hub with a computer that has USB Type-A ports?
Yes, but you'll need a separate USB Type-C to Type-A adapter or cable to connect the hub's host interface to a computer with only USB Type-A ports. The hub itself will function normally once connected, providing four USB 3.1 ports regardless of the adapter used for the host connection.
What is the maximum data transfer speed per port?
Each of the four USB 3.1 ports supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps (625 MB/s), which is the USB 3.1 Gen 1 specification. This enables fast file transfers to external SSDs and efficient operation of multiple high-speed peripherals simultaneously when connected to a compatible host system.
Is this hub suitable for charging smartphones or tablets?
While the hub can provide power to connected devices, it is not designed as a dedicated charging hub. It delivers standard USB power output suitable for maintaining charge on connected smartphones or tablets during data transfers, but for fastest charging speeds, dedicated charging ports or adapters are recommended. The hub prioritizes stable data connectivity over high-power delivery.
