FAQ
Q: Is this hub compatible with USB-C ports?
A: The hub features a USB-A plug (USB 3.2) and is designed for USB-A host ports. To use it with a USB-C laptop port you would need a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter. Ensure the adapter supports data transfer and not USB-C power only.
Q: Can I use all four ports at the same time for high-speed devices?
A: Yes, you can use all four downstream ports simultaneously. The high-speed USB 3.2 port supports up to 5 Gbit/s for one device, while the three USB 2.0 ports support up to 480 Mbit/s each. For best performance connect high-bandwidth devices to the USB 3.2 port.
Q: Does this hub require an external power supply?
A: No external power supply is required for typical peripherals like keyboards, mice, flash drives and some external hard drives. However if you connect multiple high-power devices (e.g., many external HDDs) you might need a powered USB hub.
