InLine USB 2.0 4-Port Hub, Type-A male to 4x Type-A female, black, 30cm

The InLine USB 2.0 4-Port Hub provides a simple way to expand a single USB Type-A port into four Type-A downstream ports. It has a Type-A male connector on a 30 cm cable and four Type-A female ports in a compact black plastic housing. The hub supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbit/s and is compatible with hosts that use USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) Type-A ports for backwards-compatible operation.

Advantages

This USB hub offers four additional Type-A ports while maintaining plug-and-play simplicity; its compact 30 cm cable and durable plastic enclosure make it suitable for desktop setups; compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 hosts ensures reliable connectivity with older USB 2.0 devices at their native speed of 480 Mbit/s.

Suitable for

• Connecting keyboards and mice
• Attaching flash drives and external storage (USB 2.0 speeds)
• Connecting printers or scanners that use USB Type-A
• Expanding ports on laptops or desktop PCs with limited Type-A sockets

Key specifications

• Ports quantity: 4
• Host interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A
• Hub interfaces: USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbit/s)
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Connect the hub's Type-A male plug to an available Type-A port on your computer or other host device. Plug your USB peripherals into the hub's four Type-A female ports. The hub is bus-powered and requires no additional drivers on most modern operating systems; devices will operate at USB 2.0 speeds when connected through the hub.

Recommendations

For stable performance, avoid connecting high-current devices (such as some external hard drives) that may require their own power supply. Use the hub on a flat surface and connect one device at a time if the host does not recognise a peripheral immediately.
