ACT AC6420 interface hub USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-C 5000 Mbit/s Black

The ACT AC6420 USB-C Hub adds four USB-A ports to a laptop or computer with a USB-C port. Compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.0), it supports SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5 Gbps. The hub has a compact, lightweight ABS housing and comes with a 50 cm cable that helps keep the hub stable and prevents it from dangling when a laptop is placed on a stand or desk.

Advantages

The hub expands a single USB-C port into four USB-A ports, allowing multiple peripherals to be connected simultaneously. Its USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatibility provides up to 5 Gbps transfer speed while remaining backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices. The compact and lightweight black ABS enclosure and the 50 cm attached cable make the hub convenient for mobile use and desktop setups without excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting external storage devices such as flash drives and portable SSDs

How to use

Connect the integrated USB-C cable to a compatible USB-C port on your laptop or computer. Plug your USB-A devices into any of the four USB-A ports on the hub. The hub is bus-powered from the host device and does not require a separate power supply for standard USB peripherals; high-power devices may need their own power source. No special drivers are typically required for modern operating systems that support USB 3.2 Gen 1.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect high-speed storage devices directly to the hub when transferring large files and ensure the host port supports USB 3.2 Gen 1. Avoid overloading the hub with multiple power-hungry devices simultaneously; use externally powered USB hubs or dedicated power supplies for such peripherals.
