i-tec USB-C/USB-A Metal HUB 1x USB 3.0 + 3x USB 2.0

The i-tec USB-C/USB-A Metal HUB 1x USB 3.0 + 3x USB 2.0 is a compact metal hub that expands a laptop or tablet’s connectivity by adding four USB ports. It supports one USB 3.0 port for high-speed data transfers and three USB 2.0 ports for peripherals and charging. The hub is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A and Type-C host interfaces) and offers plug-and-play operation without additional drivers.

Advantages

This metal hub provides an extra USB 3.0 port with transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps and three USB 2.0 ports for connecting keyboards, mice and other peripherals. Its compact, lightweight aluminium housing protects the device from scratches and makes it easy to carry. The hub includes built-in surge protection to help safeguard the host computer against short circuits on connected peripherals. No driver installation is required — simply connect with the USB cable and start using it.
