StarTech.com 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub for Commercial Use - Metal, Self Powered, Rugged

This 4-port USB 3.0 hub enhances your laptop or desktop's USB-A port by converting it into two standard USB-A ports, one USB-A fast-charge port, and one USB-C port. It also functions as a mid-point repeater, allowing you to extend the range of your USB devices. Designed for convenient access, the hub is ideal whether it’s mounted or placed on your desk. Its ports are adequately spaced to ensure you can plug or unplug devices without disconnecting others from adjacent ports.

With additional USB 3.0 ports, this hub increases productivity by enabling connections to more devices, eliminating the inconvenience of constantly swapping devices on laptops with limited ports. The USB-C port is particularly useful for connecting newer USB-C devices, such as external drives, to a traditional USB-A port on your computer, making it an excellent solution for IT professionals or anyone who frequently connects and disconnects devices.

This hub is an invaluable accessory for both laptop and desktop workstations with its robust metal housing, designed to endure daily wear and tear. For added convenience, it includes a wall-mount bracket, allowing you to attach the hub securely to a desktop or wall, catering to your specific needs.

The fast-charge port ensures that your tablet or smartphone remains charged and ready for use whenever needed. You can conveniently sync and access your device while it charges. The USB-A charge port adheres to the USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2, providing up to 2.4 amps of power, which enables quicker charging compared to traditional USB ports.
