USB Type-C hub IBOX IKUTC1B — 4-port USB hub with USB-C input and 4 × USB-A ports, USB 2.0, 1 m braided cable, max 3 A, black

IBOX IKUTC1B is a compact USB Type-C hub that expands a single USB-C port into four USB-A ports. It uses USB 2.0 signalling and comes with a 1 m braided cable with straight male USB-C connectors. The hub is black and supports a maximum output current of 3 A, making it suitable for connecting common USB-A peripherals to devices with a USB-C port.

Advantages

The hub provides four USB-A ports from one USB-C connection in a compact, braided-cable design. Its 1 m textile-braided cable offers improved durability and a neat appearance. With straight male USB-C connectors on the cable, the device is simple to plug in and use without adapters.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This hub uses USB 2.0 signalling, so it does not provide high-speed USB 3.x data transfer rates. It is also not intended to deliver high power for charging multiple power-hungry devices simultaneously beyond the 3 A combined output. For tasks that require faster data transfer or higher charging power, a USB 3.x hub or a powered hub would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug the straight male USB-C connector into the USB-C port of your laptop, tablet or other host device. Connect up to four USB-A peripherals to the hub’s USB-A ports. The hub operates using USB 2.0 signalling, so data transfer speeds will follow USB 2.0 limits. Ensure connected devices’ combined current draw does not exceed the hub’s 3 A maximum output.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the hub to connect low-to-moderate power peripherals like mice, keyboards and flash drives. For fast external drives or simultaneous charging of multiple power-hungry devices, consider a USB 3.x or powered hub instead.
