How to use

Connect the hub to a host computer using the integrated USB Type-A cable or compatible connector. Insert USB devices into the available Type-A or Type-C ports and, where required, insert MicroSD or SD cards into the corresponding slots. The host operating system should detect connected devices automatically; follow on-screen prompts to access files or configure devices. For high-speed transfers, ensure connected devices and cables support USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds.

Recommendations

Use the hub on a stable surface and avoid exposing it to liquids or extreme temperatures. For consistent high-speed performance, connect directly to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the host and use compatible cables and devices. If many power-hungry devices are connected simultaneously, consider using a powered USB hub or an alternative power solution, as this unit is USB-powered (5 V, 2 A).
