Description

StarTech 5G3AGBB-USB-C-HUB Portable USB-C Hub

Overview

The StarTech 5G3AGBB-USB-C-HUB is a portable, bus-powered USB-C hub designed to add essential connectivity to laptops and workstations. It solves the problem of limited ports on modern ultrabooks and tablets by providing three USB-A ports for peripherals and a Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network access. The integrated 11.8-inch cable connects directly to a USB Type-A host port, making it suitable for quick deployments in temporary setups or for adding network capability to devices lacking an RJ45 port.

Compatibility

This hub is compatible with any host system featuring a USB Type-A port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) or higher. It supports standard networking protocols for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks, including IEEE 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3az standards. The USB ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 specifications. It functions with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS operating systems.

Installation Notes

The hub is bus-powered, drawing power directly from the host USB Type-A port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter for basic operation. For demanding peripherals or when using the Gigabit Ethernet port simultaneously with high-power USB devices, an optional USB Micro-B power input allows for external power delivery (5V, 2A recommended) to ensure stable performance. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.
