Newer tablets, laptops, Chromebook™ and MacBook® notebooks, desktop computers and even smartphones often have USB Type-C™ ports, but come equipped with few others. This Tripp Lite USB-C™ multiport hub/adapter expands the functionality of the USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 port on your computer and makes it compatible with your existing equipment.
Typical Applications
Just one USB-C connection provides three USB-A ports and a memory card reader. This hub/adapter is also bus-powered, so you don’t have to travel with the weight of an external power supply.
The USB-A ports allow you to connect a huge variety of USB devices, including flash drives, cameras, keyboards, mice and external hard drives. You can also connect a printer with a USB cable when a wireless connection isn’t feasible. The ports support USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. They are also backward compatible with previous USB generations and support device charging.
Unlike traditional USB connectors that can be attached only one way, USB-C connectors are reversible by design. This hub/adapter’s USB-C connector provides a fast and easy connection to a USB-C port the first time, every time. It is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
