This 7-port USB 3.0 hub connects directly to the USB-A port on your computer, laptop, MacBook, Ultrabook or Chromebook. It allows you to use as many as seven USB devices, such as flash drives, external hard drives, printers, barcode scanners, webcams, keyboards/mice and power meters, all at the same time.
Two USB 3.0 ports support data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and recommended for high-bandwidth USB 3.0 devices, such as security cameras and high-resolution webcams. Five USB 2.0 ports transfer data at speeds up to 480 Mbps. All seven ports are backward compatible with previous USB generations, so you can continue using older peripherals while getting high-speed performance from new devices.
The first USB 3.0 port, which is labeled with a charge symbol, can charge a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, when the source device is in Suspend mode only. A blue LED indicates the hub is receiving sufficient power to support all connected devices.
The U360-007C-2X3 works with Windows and Mac computers and requires no software or drivers to download and install. The included external power supply comes with four international plug adapters that ensure you can use the hub almost anywhere. Most of the time, the hub will receive plenty of power from your computer or laptop. The included power supply should only be necessary when connecting high-current, power-hungry USB peripherals.
The compact unit is designed for convenient positioning within your reach, making USB ports accessible while not taking up much workspace. It is slim enough to pack in your pocket, purse or laptop bag for use in a hotel, conference room or airport.
