Manhattan USB-A 4-Port Hub, 4x USB-A Ports (1x 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen1 aka USB 3.0, 3 x 480 Mbps USB 2.0), USB powered (no external power supply required), Aluminium

The Manhattan USB-A 4-Port Hub expands a single USB-A port into four ports, combining one USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.0) Type-A port with three USB 2.0 ports. The hub supports high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbps on the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port and up to 480 Mbps on each USB 2.0 port. It is bus powered, housed in a durable aluminium case in grey, and designed for compact portability with dimensions of 17 mm x 101 mm x 7 mm.

Advantages

The hub provides one high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for quick external storage and printing tasks and three USB 2.0 ports suitable for peripherals such as a mouse and keyboard. Backward compatibility with earlier USB standards ensures broad device support. Bus power removes the need for an external power adapter, and the aluminium construction offers greater durability for travel and everyday use.

How to use

Connect the hub's integrated Type-A plug to an available USB-A port on your computer. Devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 should be connected to the single high-speed port to benefit from transfer rates up to 5 Gbps; connect mice, keyboards and other low-bandwidth peripherals to the USB 2.0 ports. The hub installs automatically without additional drivers on supported operating systems. When finished, safely eject connected storage devices from your computer before unplugging the hub.

Recommendations

For best performance, connect external storage and high-bandwidth devices to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. Do not expect bus power to support multiple high-current devices simultaneously—use a powered hub if you require higher combined power.
