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™ hub expands the functionality of the USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 port on your device and makes it compatible with your existing equipment.
Typical Applications
This hub features four USB-A ports and is 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.
Limited USB-C ports can force you to choose between connecting a peripheral and charging your device. The USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port powers and charges your device without affecting the other connections. Your device’s wall charger connects to the USB-C PD port, which supports power input up to 20V, 3A (60W).
