Trust Halyx USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A 5000 Mbit/s Silver

The Trust Halyx USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A hub expands a computer's connectivity by adding seven USB-A ports with data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. Housed in a durable silver ABS and aluminium casing and compact in size (156 x 33 x 16 mm), the hub is designed for portability and everyday use. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A) host interface and is compatible with ChromeOS, offering both USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 interfaces for device compatibility.

Advantages

The aluminium and ABS construction provides a robust yet lightweight design that resists wear. Seven high-speed USB-A ports enable simultaneous connections of multiple peripherals while maintaining up to 5 Gbps transfer rates on compatible devices. A dedicated USB-C power port allows external power when extra current is required for connected devices. Its compact dimensions and low weight make it easy to carry with a laptop or add to a fixed workstation without occupying much space.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB peripherals such as mice, keyboards and external drives
• Expanding ports on laptops or desktop PCs with limited USB-A sockets
