StarTech 4-Port USB-C Hub, 5Gbps, Bus Powered, USB C to 4x USB-A Hub with USB-C Auxiliary Power Input, 1ft/30cm Host Cable, Portable Desktop/Laptop USB Hub. Host interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-C. Data transfer rate: 5000 Mbit/s, Product colour: Grey, Housing material: Plastic. Power supply type: USB. Other operating systems supported: ChromeOS. Width: 54 mm, Depth: 420 mm, Height: 16 mm This USB-C Hub adds four USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) ports to a USB-C enabled desktop or laptop computer. The USB Hub connects to a USB-C port on a computer, using the built-in 1ft. (30cm) host cable. The USB hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 (480Mbps) devices, ensuring support for a wide range of modern and legacy USB peripherals (e.g., thumb drives, external HDDs/SSDs, HD cameras, mice, keyboards, webcams, and audio headsets). The USB hub is compact in size, facilitating portability when travelling. Bus-Powered with Optional Auxiliary Power The USB hub can operate with bus power alone. It features a USB-C power input that can be connected to a USB power adapter (sold separately), providing up to 15W (5V/3A) of power in addition to the 15W of bus power. This flexibility is ideal for applications requiring additional power, such as connecting a high-power USB device (e.g., external HDD/SSD), while using the other ports to connect lower powered devices. The downstream ports are each capable of providing up to 7.5W of power to the connected peripherals. For added protection to connected USB devices, the USB ports feature Overcurrent Protection (OCP). OCP prevents USB peripherals from drawing more power than is safely allocated for each port. Plug and Play This device is OS independent, supporting all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android. The Hub is automatically detected, configured, and installed upon connection to a host computer. This ensures automatic installation and with any USB-C laptop, including Thunderbolt and USB4 computers such as Apple MacBook (Intel/M1/M2/M3/M4), Lenovo X1 Carbon, and Dell XPS. The built-in extra-long 1 ft. (30 cm) USB-C host cable ensures easy setup and reduces connector strain on 2-in-1 devices such as the Surface Pro 7, iPad Pro, HP Elite X2 and laptops on riser stands. Enterprise Management Tools StarTech Connectivity Tools offer practical utilities to support device management and increase productivity in modern IT environments. The applicable software for this product is the USB Event Monitoring Utility which allows administrators to track and log connected USB devices.
