Seven USB 3.0 ports plus a dedicated charging port
This powered hub turns a single USB-A connection into seven USB 3.0 data ports and one smart charging port. It is aimed at laptop, desktop, console and TV users who need more simultaneous connections for peripherals, storage drives or mobile devices. The hub works with Windows, macOS and Linux without installing drivers.
Individual on/off switches and a 5V/3A power adapter
Each data port has its own power switch so devices can be disconnected without unplugging cables. The included 5V/3A adapter supplies the hub and enables the charging port to deliver up to 2.4A for phones and tablets. Hot-swappable operation means hardware can be added or removed while the system is running.
USB 3.0 bandwidth is shared across all data ports
The hub’s upstream link runs at up to 5Gbps, so total throughput is divided among active devices. High-bandwidth drives or capture devices will compete for that pool, and the charging port does not carry data. Users who need sustained maximum speed on several drives at once may find the single 3.0 uplink a bottleneck.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum data rate of the USB 3.0 ports, and what slower standards are they compatible with?
The hub runs at up to 5Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.0 devices.
What does the hub need to connect to the host computer?
It plugs into a single USB-A port on the host and requires the included 5V/3A power adapter for operation.
How do I set up the hub and what step is often missed?
Connect the power adapter first, then the host cable; the hub is driver-free, but each port must be turned on with its individual switch before use.
