STARTECH 5G4AIBSUSBHUBNA 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Hub 5Gbps 36W

SKU CH-SW98-YYE05 MPN 5G4AIBSUSBHUBNA

A self-powered USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub adds four Type-A ports with individual on/off switches and a 36 W adapter delivering up to 1.5 A per port for charging

  • TypeUSB
  • Four ports each with independent on/off switch for power savings and privacy
  • Self-powered 36W adapter supplies 1.5A per port for simultaneous charging
  • Connects via USB-A or USB-C for broad host compatibility
  • Delivers 5Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 bandwidth across all four ports
  • Powers devices without a host computer connected for standalone charging

Four independent port switches

Each of the four USB Type-A ports has its own on/off switch so you can cut power and data to a single device without unplugging it. This reduces idle power draw and adds a physical privacy layer for cameras or storage drives that hold sensitive information. The hub is aimed at laptop and desktop users who need extra Type-A ports and want per-port control.

Self-powered with 36 W adapter

The hub draws power from an included 36 W supply, freeing the host laptop or desktop from providing bus power to attached devices. It connects through either a USB-A or USB-C upstream port and delivers up to 1.5 A (7.5 W) per port under BC 1.2, with a combined 30 W available across all four ports simultaneously. Power remains active even when no host computer is connected.

Sustained multi-device charging

Because the external adapter supplies 36 W, the hub can maintain the full 1.5 A per port across all four ports during extended charging sessions without throttling. The individual switches let you disable unused ports so the remaining devices continue to receive their full current allocation. CDP support allows connected smartphones and tablets to negotiate charging while a data link is active.

Questions about this item

What is the combined charging limit across all four ports?

The hub delivers up to 30W total, with each port providing 1.5A at 7.5W under BC 1.2 simultaneously.

Does the hub run silently and stay cool during continuous operation?

The unit has no fan and relies on passive cooling; the external 36W power adapter handles the load so the hub itself generates minimal heat.

Which host port and cable are required to reach 5Gbps speeds?

Connect the hub to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) Type-A or Type-C port on the computer using the appropriate cable.
