InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Hub, USB-C to 2 Port USB-C and 3 Port USB-A, w/o PSU

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen 1 Hub expands a single USB-C host connection into five downstream ports: two USB-C and three USB-A. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s while remaining compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The compact black hub connects via a USB 2.0 Type-C host interface and is powered by an external DC supply to provide sufficient current to connected devices.

Advantages

This hub provides five additional USB ports in a compact housing (90 mm x 40 mm x 13 mm), combining two USB-C and three USB-A connectors for mixed-device setups. USB 3.2 Gen 1 support enables high-speed transfers up to 5 Gbit/s and backward compatibility ensures older peripherals continue to work. An included power input (3 A supply) allows stable operation of multiple devices without relying solely on the host port.

Suitable for

• Connecting external drives, flash drives and card readers to a laptop or desktop
• Adding multiple USB-A and USB-C peripherals such as keyboards, mice and smartphones
• Expanding connectivity on ultrabooks and notebooks with limited ports

Key specifications

• Downstream ports: 2 × USB-C, 3 × USB-A
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s), backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1
• Power: external DC supply supported (3 A recommended)
• Colour: Black
• Dimensions: 90 mm × 40 mm × 13 mm

How to use

Connect the hub to a host device using the supplied USB-C cable into the host interface. Plug in the external DC power supply if you plan to run multiple power-hungry devices to ensure stable operation. Insert USB-A or USB-C peripherals into the corresponding downstream ports; the system will recognise standard USB devices automatically and use the appropriate transfer mode (up to USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds when supported).

Recommendations

For best performance, connect high-speed storage devices to the hub’s USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and use the external power supply when multiple devices draw significant current. Avoid overloading the hub beyond the recommended power rating to maintain reliable transfers and device operation.
