Expand the connectivity of your USB-C laptop with this new-generation USB-C 10G hub. It plugs into your laptop’s
USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, adding four USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports, so you can quickly connect more USB
devices. It’s bus-powered, so there’s no external power adapter required.

This four-port USB Type-C hub enhances your productivity, giving you the connections you need while you work.
Connect the latest USB devices, like flash drives, capture devices and external hard drives, with fast data transfer
speeds of up to 10Gbps, to save time when transferring large files.

The USB-C hub also lets you extend the life of your existing USB devices - it’s backward compatible with previous
versions of USB devices.

The compact, lightweight USB-Type-C hub is a convenient and portable addition to your laptop. It’s bus-powered, so
it draws its power directly from your computer’s USB-C port, with no external power required. That means fewer
cables to carry with you when you travel. It also has a built-in cable (9.8 in./25 cm) for convenient travel.

The USB 3.1 hub works with a wide range of operating systems, including macOS, Windows and Linux. It installs
automatically when you connect it to your laptop or desktop, so you can be up and running quickly.

HB31C4AB is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
