Description
This item is brand-new, factory sealed.
The Plugable USB3-HUB7C expands USB connectivity by enabling up to seven USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 devices to be added to any USB 3.0 or 2.0 capable desktop, laptop, or tablet computer. The hub supports USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5Gbps (640MBps) to allow data to move quickly between devices, ideal for high-throughput devices such as USB external hard drives, flash drives, and USB graphics adapters. The USB3-HUB7C has two individual BC 1.2 ports for charging individual devices such as tablets, phones or other mobile devices.
Most computers have an average of only 4-6 USB ports. With so many devices we depend on daily, that's just not enough. All seven ports are lined up front and center to allow easy insertion of devices with the power and host USB cable coming out the rear to reduce cable clutter.
USB has become more than a way of connecting devices to a computer with plug and play ease and high performance, it has also become the method of choice to power and charge a huge range of portable battery-powered devices like cell phones, tablets, USB battery packs, handheld game consoles, e-readers, e-cigarettes, cameras, smart watches, fitness trackers, bicycle lights, and many more.
Some of those mobile devices have adopted proprietary mechanisms to draw more power than USB was originally designed to allow which has caused confusion about charging but is now being solved by the USB-IF (USB Implementers' Forum) Battery Charging (BC 1.2) standard.
Compatibility
The USB3-HUB7C is compatible with most Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS X, and Linux / Unix systems. On legacy Windows systems (XP, Vista & 7. It requires the latest manufacturer USB 3.0 host controller drivers and Windows Updates need to be installed to ensure compatibility. Apple Mac OS X and Linux / Unix systems require latest operating system updates for best compatibility.
The USB3-HUB7C is a USB 3.0 hub that does everything existing USB hubs do, while also supporting the BC 1.2 charging standard on its two edge ports (1 & 7). It's a no-compromise solution for both gaining extra USB ports and for charging the newest generation of BC 1.2 compliant devices.
When a BC 1.2 compliant device is attached to one of the two edge ports it can charge at a faster rate (up to 1.5A vs 500mA of a standard port).
The USB3-HUB7C adds additional capabilities for keeping all of your various devices connected, charging, and ready for action!
