Targus ACH226EU interface hub USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-C 5000 Mbit/s Silver

The Targus ACH226EU USB-C to 4-Port USB-A Hub converts a single USB-C port into four USB-A 3.0 ports, enabling connection of mice, keyboards, flash drives and external hard drives. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, is powered via the host USB-C port (5V) and has a compact, lightweight aluminium-coloured design (45 × 94 × 11 mm) for easy portability.

Advantages

The hub expands one USB-C host interface into four USB-A 3.0 ports while maintaining high data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. Its tethered USB-C cable provides a single-cable connection to the host and the compact form factor makes it convenient for travel. Power is supplied through the host USB-C port, and the device supports standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 peripherals.

Suitable for

• Connecting mice and keyboards to USB-C laptops
• Attaching USB flash drives for file transfers
• Connecting external hard drives and SSDs for additional storage
• Connecting multiple USB-A peripherals simultaneously

How to use

Plug the hub’s tethered USB-C connector into your computer’s USB-C port. Insert USB-A devices into the hub’s four Type-A ports as needed. The host computer will provide power to the hub and should recognise connected USB 3.0 devices automatically; no additional drivers are typically required for modern operating systems.

Recommendations

For maximum per-port power (DC 5V 900 mA), connect only one device at a time. When using two or more devices simultaneously, ensure your computer’s USB-C port supports sufficient power output and consider connecting externally powered devices directly to a powered USB hub if higher current is required.
