It’s ideal for adding a thumb drive and other USB peripherals and charging mobile devices—all at the same time. The plug-and-play U460-004-4A requires no software, drivers or external power. Connect the reversible USB-C plug to your source device’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. The fumble-free USB-C plug connects in either direction to ensure fast, easy connection every time. Four USB-A ports accept USB peripherals, such as a flash drive, mouse, keyboard or printer. Each port supports USB Battery Charging (BC) specification v1.2, which indicates they provide up to 1.5A for fast charging of mobile devices. They also support fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and are backward compatible with previous USB generations, so you can continue using older peripherals while getting high-speed performance from new devices. A USB Micro-B port connects to an optional external USB power adapter to provide the hub with additional power if needed.
