UGREEN USB Hub 3.0 100cm cable, 4-port USB
Product description
This compact USB 3.0 hub expands a single USB-A socket into four high-speed ports, helping connect a keyboard, mouse, flash drive and other peripherals at the same time. It is a slim, portable accessory that suits home desks and travel setups while offering faster transfers for routine file tasks.
Key Points
The hub supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, which is useful when moving large files between external drives and a laptop. Its 100 cm extended cable gives extra reach so the hub can rest on a desk while the host device sits further away. A small indicator light shows when the unit is powered and linked to the computer. ⚡
Compatibility covers a wide range of devices with USB-A ports, including many Windows PCs, Mac systems and consoles such as PS5 and Xbox Series S. Plug and play operation means no drivers are required for most modern operating systems. Consider that it is not compatible with some streaming sticks and in-car USB ports according to the manufacturer. 🔌

Usage Recommendations
Place the hub on a stable surface and avoid straining the cable when connecting heavy or bulky devices. For best transfer performance, connect USB 3.0 drives directly to the hub rather than through additional adapters. If using multiple power-hungry devices such as external hard drives, consider a powered hub instead, because this passive hub relies on the host port for power and may not supply enough current for everything at once. 🖥️
Advantages
The slim design keeps a workspace tidy while offering extra ports when a laptop or console has limited sockets. It is lightweight for carrying in a laptop bag and quick to set up thanks to its plug and play nature. The built-in chip provides basic protection against overheating and electrical issues during normal use, according to the manufacturer. This makes it a straightforward option for expanding connectivity without adding clutter or complexity.
