DELOCK USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 4-port Hub with Type-A + Type-C Host (5000 Mbit/s) Black/Transparent

The DELOCK USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 4-port hub provides four downstream USB Type-A ports and connects to a host via a detachable cable with combined USB Type-A and USB‑C connectors. The compact hub is finished in black with a transparent plastic housing that reveals the internal layout and includes three status LEDs. It supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and is bus-powered via the USB connection, making it suitable for expanding the number of available USB ports on laptops, desktops and mobile devices.

Advantages

This hub offers flexible host compatibility through a specially designed detachable cable that fits either a USB Type-A or USB‑C host connector, allowing use with older and newer computers and mobile devices. The transparent, sturdy enclosure provides visual access to the internals and the integrated LEDs improve visibility in low light. Its small footprint and durable housing make it easy to carry for travel and everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB peripherals such as flash drives, card readers and external enclosures
• Expanding USB ports on laptops, desktops and tablets
• Portable use while travelling or working on the go

When it may not be suitable

Because the hub is bus-powered, it may not supply sufficient power for high‑current devices such as some external hard drives or multiple power-hungry peripherals connected simultaneously. It is designed for data connectivity and convenience rather than for powering many high-draw devices at once.

Key specifications

• Host interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A and Type-C via detachable cable
• Downstream interfaces: 4 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A ports
• Maximum data transfer rate: 5000 Mbit/s
• Power: bus-powered via USB connection
• Housing: black with transparent plastic

How to use

Attach the detachable cable to the hub and plug the appropriate connector (USB Type-A or USB‑C) into the host device. Connect USB Type-A peripherals to the hub’s downstream ports. If the cable is not required, it can be looped by plugging it into both host connectors on the hub for compact storage or attachment. The hub requires no additional drivers on most modern operating systems and draws power from the host USB port.

What to consider before purchase

• Bus-powered design — may not provide enough power for some external drives or multiple high-draw devices
• Provides four USB Type-A downstream ports only — no downstream Type-C ports
• Designed for data transfer and peripheral connectivity rather than device charging at high current

Recommendations

For reliable performance, connect storage devices and peripherals one at a time if you notice power-related disconnects, and avoid relying on the hub to charge power-hungry devices. Use a host port capable of USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds to achieve the maximum 5000 Mbit/s transfer rate.
