Newer tablets, laptops, Chromebook and MacBook notebooks, desktop computers and even smartphones often have only USB Type-C ports for connection to peripherals. Using a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, this Tripp Lite hub expands the functionality of your computer.
Typical Applications
This hub is bus-powered, so you don’t need an external power supply. One USB-C connection provides four USB-A ports for all your peripherals. If you keep the hub on your desk, you will have only one cable to unplug when you take your laptop on the road.
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.
Unlike traditional USB connectors that can be attached only one way, USB-C connectors are reversible by design. The adapter’s built-in USB-C cable provides a fast and easy connection to a USB-C port the first time, every time.
