i-tec Advance USB 3.0 Slim HUB 3 Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Black

The i-tec Advance USB 3.0 Slim HUB 3 Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Black combines a compact three-port USB 3.0 hub with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet adapter in a slim, travel-friendly housing. The device provides high-speed USB data transfers and a wired network connection through a single USB connection to a notebook, tablet or PC. With dimensions of 123 mm × 29 mm × 19 mm and a lightweight build, the adapter is powered via the host USB port and includes automatic detection for USB charging and built-in protection against overcurrent.

Advantages

The product integrates three USB 3.0 ports and a full Gigabit Ethernet interface in one compact unit, enabling simultaneous connection of multiple peripherals and a reliable wired network without adding internal cards or extra power supplies. USB 3.0 support provides higher data transfer rates for compatible storage devices while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0. Its slim form factor and USB-powered operation make it suitable for portable use and quick setup with Plug & Play functionality.

How to use

Connect the slim hub to an available USB port on your notebook, tablet or PC using the attached USB cable. The hub is plug & play for most operating systems and will automatically provide access to the three USB 3.0 ports and the Gigabit Ethernet adapter once connected. Attach USB peripherals to the hub’s downstream ports and connect an Ethernet cable from your network router or switch to the hub’s RJ‑45 port. If the connected device supports USB-powered charging, the hub will detect and supply standard USB charging current. For Android devices, enable Ethernet support in the device’s network settings if that feature is provided by the device manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use a USB 3.0 port on the host device to achieve maximum data transfer speeds. For stable network performance, connect the Ethernet port to a Gigabit-capable router or switch and use a quality Cat5e or better cable. Avoid drawing power-hungry devices solely from the hub if they exceed typical USB charging limits; use a powered USB hub or an externally powered adapter when connecting high-current peripherals.
