Introduction
The ST3300U3S SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub with Gigabit Ethernet adapter allows you
to add 3 additional USB 3.0 ports and a RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port through a single
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection to the host comptuer system.
With Gigabit Ethernet NIC support, connect to your home or oce network at full
bandwidth, with support for 10/100/1000Mbps networks, unlike USB 2.0 adapters.
Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.x standards, this USB 3.0 Hub with
Gigabit Ethernet will still support older USB devices and can also be used in an older
system that does not have USB 3.0 ports (speed limited by USB bus).
With the capability to mix and match USB 3.0/2.0/1.x devices and be used with or
without the included external power adapter, this hub oers the best of versatility
and portability.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
