Mlink USB 3.0 4-Port Hub (Black)
A 4-in-1 USB 3.0 hub in a durable plastic housing that expands a single USB-C or USB-A port into 4 usable connections, for laptops and desktops that are short on ports.
Key Features
- 4 USB 3.0 Ports: Adds 4 additional USB 3.0 connections at up to 5Gbps each from a single host port.
- Plastic Housing: Compact and lightweight design, engineered with built-in thermal protection to manage heat safely during sustained transfers.
- Plug-and-Play: Recognized automatically by Windows, macOS, and most other operating systems with no driver install.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all 4 ports be used at full 5Gbps speed at the same time?
All ports work simultaneously, but total throughput is shared across the host port's bandwidth, so heavy simultaneous transfers on multiple ports will run slower than a single device alone.
What is the best use case for this hub?
Expanding a laptop with limited USB ports to connect a mouse, external drive, keyboard, and flash drive at the same time.
Does this hub need external power?
No — it draws power from the host USB port for standard peripherals like a mouse, keyboard, or flash drive; high-draw external drives may need their own power source.
