• Product type: USB data hub.

Specifications

Compatibility and Usage

Connect the hub to a compatible host, then add peripherals to the ports suited to their requirements. Different USB generations can have different speed limits even when the connector shape is similar. Connect faster storage to an appropriately rated port and use remaining connections for suitable everyday accessories.

The upstream connection is shared by the attached devices. A hub adds connection points but does not multiply the computer’s available bandwidth or power. Use a suitable auxiliary supply where supported and required, and continue using a peripheral’s own power source when the device specifies one.

For a tidy desk arrangement, place the hub where its ports remain accessible and supported. Connect peripherals one at a time during initial setup so recognition can be checked. If several devices are attached, consider both their power demand and which of them need the faster available data connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will all attached devices transfer at maximum speed together?

No. They share the host connection, and each peripheral has its own limits. Real transfer rates depend on the hub port, computer interface, storage and workload.

Does a USB-C socket automatically support video or PD?

No. USB-C describes a connector shape. Use each socket according to its stated data or power role rather than assuming every USB-C port supports displays or laptop charging.

How should I remove a connected storage device?

Wait for file operations to finish and use the operating system’s eject option where available. Then disconnect the drive without pulling on the hub’s host cable.

How should I organise several attached peripherals?

Keep the faster data device on an appropriately rated port and leave space for each cable. Check that a heavier lead is not pulling on the hub, especially when moving the computer or adjusting nearby equipment.
