Chargers

Supports PC Charging with Max 100W Input

This USB hub is designed to double as a PC charging cable, eliminating the need for a separate charging cable. It supports USB Power Delivery, enabling charging of PCs and other devices with a maximum input of 100W. A cable band is included to help keep cables tidy for both portability and desk use.

  • The supplied power may vary depending on the performance of the connected devices.

  • Connected devices must support USB Power Delivery.

  • The product itself consumes 10W, resulting in a maximum output of 90W. To supply 90W, a 100W output AC charger is required.

4-Port USB Hub Supporting USB 5Gbps for Connecting USB Devices

The hub is equipped with two USB-A ports and two USB Type-C ports, allowing for the simultaneous connection of multiple USB devices such as mice, keyboards, and USB memory drives.

  • These data communication-only ports do not support charging or video output. It is not recommended to charge smartphones or tablets using these data transfer-only ports.

Supporting USB 5Gbps (USB3.2 (Gen1)), this hub offers data transfer speeds approximately 10 times faster than Hi-Speed USB (USB2.0), enabling quick transfer of large files like documents and photos.

  • Theoretical value. For USB 5Gbps functionality, the connected device must also support USB 5Gbps.

To minimize compatibility issues between connected devices and provide a smooth user experience, the product is designed to stabilize data quality between the PC and the USB hub, based on authentication tests of send/receive signals.

Stable Power Supply and User-Friendly Design

The hub supports both self-powered and bus-powered modes, ensuring a stable power supply. Both cables are directly attached, eliminating concerns about loss. The PC connection cable is approximately 0.15m long, suitable for desk use without clutter, while the charger connection cable is approximately 1m long, offering ample length for flexible routing.

  • For corporate adoption, it is recommended to verify in the actual operating environment before purchase.

  • USB Type-C and USB-C are trademarks of USB Implementers Forum.
