With its bus-powered design and optional auxiliary power input, this hub is perfect for both desktop and laptop users looking to add more USB-A ports to their setup. Featuring a compact design and a 1ft/30cm cable, this USB hub is ideal for cluttered workspaces, providing a convenient way to connect up to four USB devices, such as flash drives, keyboards, and mice, with transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. As a trusted brand, StarTech.com ensures that their hubs are compatible with a wide range of devices, including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android operating systems.

The 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) Hub adds four USB-A ports by connecting to a single USB-A port on your computer. The USB hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 (480Mbps) devices, ensuring support for a wide range of modern and legacy USB peripherals. The USB hub can operate with bus power alone, but features a Micro USB power input that can be connected to a USB power adapter, providing up to 4.5W of power in addition to the 4.5W of bus power from the USB host. This flexibility is ideal for applications where additional power may be required, such as connecting a high-powered USB device. For added protection to this USB hub and the connected host device, the USB hub features Overcurrent Protection (OCP). OCP prevents faulty USB peripherals from drawing more power than is safely allocated.
