Deployment / Use Cases
The ST4300U3C3 excels in environments where multiple USB devices require simultaneous connectivity and charging. Office workstations benefit from connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, and external drives while keeping smartphones and tablets charged throughout the workday.
Home entertainment centers and digital signage installations can use the wall-mount capability to discreetly organize USB media players, streaming devices, and charging stations. The compact dimensions (4.33" x 1.77" x 0.94") make it suitable for space-constrained setups where traditional hubs would be impractical.
Office Workstation Expansion
Add USB ports to desktop computers or laptops while providing dedicated charging for mobile devices used throughout the workday.
Wall-Mounted Installations
Mount the hub discreetly behind monitors, under desks, or in media centers to maintain clean cable management in permanent installations.
Physical Profile
Measuring 4.33 inches in length, 1.77 inches in width, and 0.94 inches in height, the black metal enclosure presents a compact footprint suitable for various mounting scenarios. The included wall-mount bracket with screws allows for secure vertical or horizontal installation, while four rubber feet provide stable desktop placement when wall mounting isn't required.

FAQ
What is the difference between the USB 3.0 ports and the dedicated charging ports?
The four USB 3.0 ports support both data transfer at up to 5 Gbps and device charging, while the three dedicated charging ports are optimized specifically for charging mobile devices with higher current delivery (2A on one port, 1A on two ports). The dedicated ports follow USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 protocols for efficient charging of compatible smartphones and tablets.
Can I use this hub with USB 2.0 or older devices?
Yes, the hub maintains full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.x devices. When connecting older USB devices to the USB 3.0 ports, they will operate at their native speeds while still benefiting from the hub's power delivery capabilities. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of peripherals regardless of their USB generation.
What devices are compatible with the dedicated charging ports?
The dedicated charging ports support devices compatible with USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2, including most Apple iPhones, iPads, and Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The 2A port provides faster charging for devices that support higher current input, while the two 1A ports are suitable for standard charging requirements of smaller mobile devices.
Does this hub require external power?
Yes, the included universal power adapter provides sufficient power for all seven ports to operate simultaneously at full capacity. This ensures stable data transfer on the USB 3.0 ports while delivering consistent charging current to devices connected to the dedicated charging ports, even when multiple high-power devices are connected.
How do I mount the hub on a wall?
The package includes a wall-mount bracket with screws for secure installation. The bracket attaches to the back of the metal enclosure, allowing for vertical or horizontal mounting orientation. The compact dimensions make it suitable for mounting behind monitors, under desks, or in media centers where discreet placement is preferred.
