A slim aluminium hub that turns one USB port on the host into four USB-A ports plus a USB-C port. USB 3.2 Gen 2 rated, so data moves at up to 10Gbps between the hub and the host when everything on the chain supports that speed. Plug it in and use it, no driver install.

Bus-powered, so it draws its own supply from the host and needs no separate power brick. Suits laptops, workstations, and the ancillary USB ports on 4WD centre consoles, caravan inverters, drawer systems and 12V-to-USB adapters, as long as the host port can carry the total current the connected devices ask for. Backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, so older peripherals still work at their own speed.

Bus power means the host port's total current is shared across everything plugged in. Fine for keyboards, mice, thumb drives and other low-power peripherals. Too tight for multiple spinning drives or fast-charging phones at once, and it will not USB PD fast-charge a phone in any case. Use a powered hub if more than one power-hungry device needs USB together.

  • 10Gbps ready — USB 3.2 Gen 2 full-speed data path
  • Five ports — four USB-A plus one USB-C
  • Bus-powered — no separate power brick
  • Plug and play — no drivers to install
  • Backwards compatible — older USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices still work
  • Aluminium body — sinks heat, handles bumps

Bus-powered USB hub for any host with a spare USB-A port.
Laptops, workstations, drawer systems, 12V-to-USB adapters, caravan inverters (any host with a USB-A port that can supply the total current the connected devices draw)
Direct 12V DC vehicle supply (the hub is USB-powered, not DC-powered — feed it from a USB port on a 12V-to-USB adapter, not from a fuse tap)

Q: What does USB 3.2 Gen 2 actually mean?
The fastest branch of the USB 3.x family, rated for 10Gbps of data throughput on a single lane. USB 2.0 tops out at 480Mbps, USB 3.0 (also called 3.1 Gen 1 or 3.2 Gen 1) at 5Gbps, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps. The hub's ceiling is 10Gbps; the actual speed you get is the slowest link in the chain (host port, hub, device).

Q: Do I need a driver to use it?
No. Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS all recognise a USB hub as a standard USB class device. Plug it in and the extra ports appear.

Q: Does it have its own power supply?
No. It's bus-powered, meaning it draws current from the host USB port to run itself and share with connected devices. If you plan to hang power-hungry drives or a phone-charging cable off multiple ports at once, a powered hub is a better fit.

Q: Can I use it with older USB 2.0 devices?
Yes. USB is backwards compatible. A USB 2.0 keyboard, mouse or thumb drive plugged into the hub still runs at USB 2.0 speed; the faster ports keep running at their own speed alongside it.

Q: Can I use it in a vehicle or caravan?
Yes, but plug it into a USB-A port, not into a 12V DC supply directly. Any decent 12V-to-USB adapter (car USB socket, caravan wall plate, drawer-system panel) provides the 5V USB feed the hub needs.

Q: Will it charge a phone at fast-charge rates?
No. A bus-powered hub shares whatever current the host USB port supplies, typically 900mA total for USB 3.x hosts. That's fine for a slow trickle charge but not for a USB PD fast-charge, which needs a dedicated fast-charge port that can negotiate higher voltages.

Q: Can I plug another hub into this one?
The USB spec allows up to five levels of hubs chained off one host, so yes, but the power budget from the host is shared across everything. If two hubs downstream each want current, one of the two will hit the wall first.

Q: What's the USB-C port for?
Data, at the same USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed as the four USB-A ports. Handy for a phone, an SSD, or any peripheral with a USB-C tail. It is not a power-delivery port and will not power the hub in reverse.

Q: What size cable does it use to connect to the host?
A captive USB-A lead, so no separate cable to lose. If the lead is too short for your setup, a USB 3.2 extension cable will work; keep the total run under 3m for reliable 10Gbps.
