Description

StarTech HB31C3A1CB Portable 4-Port USB-C Hub

Overview

The StarTech HB31C3A1CB is a compact, bus-powered USB-C hub designed to expand connectivity for laptops and other host devices equipped with a USB Type-C port. It provides immediate access to both USB-C and USB-A peripherals, making it ideal for mobile professionals, remote workers, or anyone needing to connect multiple devices to a single USB-C port without requiring an external power source. The 10 Gbps interface ensures high-speed data transfer for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This hub is compatible with any host device featuring a USB Type-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) or USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) data transfer rates. It is designed to work with laptops, ultrabooks, and workstations running Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Specific compatibility extends to USB-C enabled devices such as Dell Latitude, HP Spectre, Lenovo ThinkPad, and Apple MacBook models.

Installation Notes

The HB31C3A1CB operates as a bus-powered device, drawing power directly from the host's USB-C port. Ensure the host device's USB-C port supports USB Power Delivery (PD) for optimal performance, though the hub itself does not pass PD to the host. The integrated 9.8-inch (25 cm) cable offers flexibility in placement. Operating temperature range is 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F).
