Conceptronic HUBBIES 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, 2 USB-C & 2 USB-A ports, aluminum case, USB-C connector

The Conceptronic HUBBIES 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub expands a laptop, netbook or PC with four additional high-speed USB ports using a single USB-C host connection. The compact hub has an aluminium housing, measures 24 mm × 92 mm × 12 mm and is bus-powered for convenient plug-and-play operation. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also called USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1) data rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and is compatible with Windows 10 and macOS X 10.10 or later.

Advantages

The device offers two USB-C and two USB-A downstream ports to connect a mix of modern and legacy peripherals. Its aluminium case increases durability while keeping the unit lightweight (0.02 kg) and portable. Bus power removes the need for an external power adapter for typical USB devices, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 ensures fast data transfers up to 5000 Mbit/s for compatible devices.

How to use

For best performance, connect high-speed storage devices to the host port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 and ensure the computer's USB-C port supports data transfer. The hub is bus-powered and requires no separate power supply for typical peripherals; disconnect devices before unplugging the hub.

Recommendations

Use the hub with compatible USB-C data ports (not charge-only ports) to achieve the advertised transfer speeds. Avoid connecting high-power devices that exceed standard USB bus-power limits without an external powered USB hub or adapter.
