USB Type-A to 4x USB Type-A | USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) | Auxiliary Micro USB Power Input (up to 4.5W)This USB Hub adds four USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) ports to a USB-A enabled desktop or laptop computer. The USB Hub connects to a USB-A port on a computer using the built-in 1ft. (30cm) host cable. The USB hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 (480Mbps) devices ensuring support for a wide range of modern and legacy USB peripherals (e.g. thumb drives external HDDs/SSDs HD cameras mice keyboards webcams and audio headsets).The USB hub is compact in size facilitating portability when travelling.Bus-Powered with Optional Auxiliary PowerThe USB hub can operate with bus power alone but features a Micro USB power input that can be connected to a USB power adapter (not included) providing up to 4.5W (5V/0.9A) of power in addition to the 4.5W of bus power from the USB host. This flexibility is ideal for applications where additional power may be required such as connecting a high-powered USB device like an external SSD while using the other ports to connect lower powered devices. The downstream ports are each capable of providing up to 4.5W of power to the connected peripherals. For added protection to this USB hub and the connected host device the USB hub features Overcurrent Protection (OCP). OCP prevents faulty USB peripherals from drawing more power than is safely allocated.Plug and PlayThis device is OS independent supporting all operating systems including Windows macOS ChromeOS and Android. The Hub is automatically detected configured and installed upon connection to a host computer such as Apple MacBook Lenovo X1 Carbon and Dell XPS. The extra long built-in 1ft. (30 cm) USB-A host cable enables quick and convenient setup and reduces connector strain on 2-in-1 devices such as the Surface Pro 7 and laptops on riser stands.Enhance Productivity and Device Management with the StarTech.com Connectivity Tools ApplicationDeveloped to improve performance and security StarTech.com Connectivity Tools is the only software suite on the market that is compatible with a wide variety of IT connectivity accessories.
