The U460-004-4A-C 4-Port Portable USB 3.1 Gen 1 Portable Hub's built-in USB-C cable connects to your computer, laptop or tablet's USB-C port to give you four external USB-A ports. This allows you to connect a wide range of USB devices, such as flash drives, external hard drives, DVD drives, MP3 players and digital cameras. The U460-004-4A-C supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps—ten times faster than USB 2.0. It's backward compatible with previous USB generations, so you can continue using older peripherals while getting maximum high-speed performance from new devices. One USB-A port supports USB Battery Charging (BC) specification v1.2 and provides up to 1.5A for fast charging of mobile devices. The USB-C charging port supports power input up to 20V 3A (60W). It powers the device that the U460-004-4A-C is plugged into, as well as peripherals plugged into its USB-A ports, by connecting the charging port to a USB-C wall charger. The compact case fits easily into your backpack, briefcase or laptop bag to power USB-enabled devices wherever you are. No software or drivers are needed.
