The hub measures 55 x 24 x 20mm and weighs 16g, making it small enough to fit in a laptop bag pocket or case without taking up meaningful space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for laptop users who need to connect peripherals like external hard drives, keyboards, mice, USB flash drives and printers to devices with limited USB-C ports, the hub works plug-and-play without driver installation on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. The USB 3.2 port handles high-bandwidth devices like external SSDs and card readers, while the two USB 2.0 ports cover low-bandwidth peripherals that don't benefit from faster speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black plastic housing incorporates ventilation slots for passive cooling during sustained data transfer, and the moulded USB-C plug sits flush against the host device to minimise strain on the port. The hub draws power directly from the host device's USB-C port, so there's no separate power adapter or cable to carry. All three Type-A ports can be used simultaneously, with the total available bandwidth shared across connected devices according to USB protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB3.2 Type-C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1* USB3.2 and 2* USB2.0 Type-A Ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eData transfer rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1* USB3.2 = 5Gbps, 2* USB2.0 = 480Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 x 24 x 20mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this hub require a separate power supply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The hub draws power directly from the host device's USB-C port. For high-power peripherals like external hard drives, ensure your laptop's USB-C port provides sufficient power or use a self-powered device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use all three ports at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All three Type-A ports can be used simultaneously. The total bandwidth available is shared across connected devices according to standard USB protocol, so transfer speeds may reduce when multiple high-bandwidth devices are active at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with Thunderbolt ports?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The hub works with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports that support USB-C connectivity, though it operates at standard USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 speeds rather than Thunderbolt's higher bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat operating systems does it support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hub is plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.
