StarTech.com 4-Port USB-A Hub, 5Gbps, Bus Powered, Type-A to 4x Type-A with USB-C Auxiliary Power Input, Portable Hub

Connect multiple 5Gbps USB-A peripherals that draw high power to your computer using a single USB-A port.

This USB Hub adds four USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) ports to a USB-A enabled desktop or laptop computer. The USB Hub connects to a USB-A port on a computer, using the built-in 1ft. (30cm) host cable. The USB hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 (480Mbps) devices, ensuring support for a wide range of modern and legacy USB peripherals (e.g., thumb drives, external HDDs/SSDs, HD cameras, mice, keyboards, webcams, and audio headsets). The USB hub is compact in size, facilitating portability when travelling.

Bus-Powered with Optional Auxiliary Power

The USB hub can operate with bus power alone. It features a USB Type-C power input that can be connected to a USB-C power adapter (sold separately), providing up to 15W (5V/3A) of power in addition to the bus power from the host. This flexibility is ideal for applications requiring additional power, such as connecting a high-power USB device (e.g., external HDD/SSD), while using the other ports to connect lower powered devices. The downstream ports are each capable of providing up to 7.5W of power to the connected peripherals. For added protection to connected USB devices, the USB ports feature Overcurrent Protection (OCP). OCP prevents USB peripherals from drawing more power than is safely allocated for each port.

Plug and Play

This device is OS independent, supporting all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. The Hub is automatically detected, configured, and installed upon connection to a host computer. The built-in extra-long 1 ft. (30 cm) USB-A host cable ensures easy setup and reduces connector strain on devices such as the Surface Pro, HP Elite X2, Lenovo X1 Carbon, Dell XPS, and laptops on riser stands.
