FAQ
What is the difference between the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports on this hub?
The two USB 3.0 ports support SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps (625 MB/s), making them ideal for external storage devices and high-bandwidth peripherals. The four USB 2.0 ports operate at 480 Mbps (60 MB/s) and provide backward compatibility for keyboards, mice, printers, and other standard peripherals. All ports can be used simultaneously without performance degradation.
Can I use the charging port while transferring data through the other ports?
Yes, the dedicated 2A charging port operates independently from the data ports. You can charge a smartphone or tablet through the charging port while simultaneously transferring files through the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 data ports. The included 20-watt power adapter provides sufficient power for all connected devices, including the charging port.
What operating systems are compatible with this USB hub?
This hub is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems without requiring additional drivers or software. It features plug-and-play functionality that works immediately upon connection. The universal compatibility makes it suitable for mixed computing environments where different operating systems are in use.
Does the hub require external power to operate all ports?
Yes, the included 20-watt universal power adapter is required to operate all six USB ports simultaneously, especially when using power-hungry devices or the 2A charging port. The power adapter comes with three interchangeable plugs (North American, European, and UK) for international use, ensuring proper operation regardless of your location's electrical standards.
What is the maximum cable length between the hub and my computer?
The included USB 3.0 cable measures approximately 3 feet (1 meter), which is optimal for maintaining signal integrity and maximum data transfer speeds. For best performance with USB 3.0 devices, we recommend using high-quality USB 3.0 cables of 3 meters or less between the hub and host computer to ensure reliable 5 Gbps operation.
What warranty coverage does this USB hub include?
StarTech.com provides a two-year limited warranty for this USB hub. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. For warranty service or technical support, you can contact StarTech.com directly with your ST7320USBC part number. The hub also complies with EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE environmental directives.
