StarTech 5G4AB-USB-C-HUB Portable USB-C Expansion Hub
Overview
The StarTech 5G4AB-USB-C-HUB provides essential connectivity for modern workstations, enabling you to connect up to four USB-A peripherals to a laptop or desktop computer via a single USB-C port. This hub is ideal for users who require simultaneous access to multiple devices like external hard drives, webcams, or keyboards without sacrificing performance. Its compact form factor and bus-powered operation make it suitable for mobile professionals and shared workstations.
Compatibility
This hub is compatible with any USB-C enabled laptop or desktop computer running Windows 8.1/10/11, macOS 10.12+, Linux, or Chrome OS. It supports USB 3.0 (now known as USB 3.2 Gen 1) devices, providing a 5 Gbps data transfer rate. It is designed to work with standard USB-C ports and does not require specific driver installations for basic functionality.
Installation Notes
The 5G4AB-USB-C-HUB operates as a bus-powered device, drawing up to 15W from the host computer's USB-C port. For demanding applications requiring maximum power delivery to all four ports simultaneously, an optional Micro USB power adapter (5V/2A recommended, sold separately) can be connected to the auxiliary power input, providing an additional 4.5W. The integrated 1 ft (30 cm) host cable offers flexibility in placement.
