In-Depth Details

USB 3.0 Ports

The device features three USB 3.0 Type-A ports, which provide backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. USB 3.0 technology enables data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, approximately 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This allows rapid file transfers, efficient connection of external hard drives, flash drives, keyboards, mice, printers, and other peripherals without bottlenecks.

Integrated LAN Port

The addition of a dedicated Ethernet port allows users to connect to wired networks directly through the hub. This is especially useful for laptops or ultrabooks without built-in Ethernet jacks. The LAN port supports standard RJ45 connectors and typically supports speeds up to 1 Gbps, offering reliable and stable internet connections with lower latency compared to Wi-Fi.

Cable and Build Quality

The USB cable length of 0.15 meters (15 cm) is designed to minimize excess cable clutter and maintain a tidy workspace. This is ideal for users who place their hub close to their laptop or PC. The hub's casing is made from durable plastic with a matte black finish, giving it a sturdy feel while blending seamlessly with most electronics.

Compatibility and Ease of Use

The hub operates on a plug-and-play basis with no additional drivers required for most modern operating systems. It supports Windows 7, 8, 10, macOS, Linux, and others, making it versatile across many devices including laptops, desktops, and even some tablets.

Power and Performance

Powered directly from the USB port, the hub does not require an external power supply. However, when multiple power-intensive devices are connected simultaneously, power output may be limited by the host device’s USB port capabilities.
