Inateck USB Hub 100 cm, USB 3.2 Gen 2
Product description
A compact USB hub that turns a single USB A port into four, the Inateck USB Hub with 100 cm cable brings USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds to everyday setups. It suits users who need extra ports for drives, peripherals and quick data transfers around a workstation or on the move.
At a glance
This hub supports USB 3.2 Gen 2, offering a theoretical doubling of transfer rate compared with conventional USB 3.0 and shared 10 Gbps throughput across the four ports, according to the manufacturer. It is hot swappable and requires no drivers, so you can plug in NVMe-compatible SSDs or U disks and expect fast file moves. It is compact and lightweight, and the supplied 100 cm cable gives flexibility when connecting to desktops or laptops. Note that the hub does not support device charging, which is an important limitation to bear in mind.

What you’ll notice day to day
For basic expansion the hub is straightforward and reliable. Transfers of large files are noticeably quicker than with older USB 3.0 hubs when using compatible drives, though if you prioritise simultaneous maximum throughput for four heavy tasks you may see the shared speed become a bottleneck. It’s a sensible choice if you want a small, portable solution to add ports without extra software.
Getting the most from it
It’s a good fit if you regularly connect external SSDs, flash drives or multiple peripherals to a laptop or desktop and value plug-and-play simplicity. If you need device charging from a hub, consider a powered alternative as this model does not provide charging.
