Expand the connectivity of your USB-C laptop with this new generation USB 3.1 Gen 2 hub offering 10Gbps supporting greater bandwidth to connected devices and faster data transfer speeds. SD & microSD Card Reader The hub provides direct access to your SD memory cards or microSD cards as an additional medium for data storage and data transfer. Easy Setup This compact, lightweight USB-Type-C hub is a convenient and portable addition to your laptop accessories. The USB-C cable is built-in and the hub is bus-powered, so it draws its power directly from your computer’s USB-C port with no external power required. That means fewer cables to carry with you when you travel. The self-powered USB C splitter can draw up to 15 Watts of power from the connected host and operate multiple bus powered devices at one time with the total available power dependent on the connected host. The extended length attached cable of 9.8” (25 cm) provides more flexibility for longer reach connection requirements and plug and play installation. Connect USB-C & A Peripherals With ports for both USB-C and USB-A peripherals, this hub is backwards compatible supporting both legacy and new USB devices. You can connect flash drives, video capture devices and external hard drives, with fast data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. This bus-powered 3-Port USB-C hub adds one SD card reader and three USB-A ports, so you can quickly connect more USB devices. HB31C2A1CGB is backed by a StarTech..
