StarTech.com 4-Port USB-A Hub, 5Gbps, Self-Powered, 2-in-1 USB-C and USB-A Host

The StarTech.com 4-Port USB-A expands your ports in seconds — plug in and go.

Add four 5Gbps USB-A ports (one with BC 1.2) to your laptop or PC using a single USB-C or USB-A connection

This 4‑port SuperSpeed USB hub lets you instantly add four USB‑A 3.0 ports, including one BC 1.2 charging port, from a single USB connection-ideal for connecting keyboards, mice, flash drives, and external storage devices at the same time.

Fast Charge, Even Without a Host

The dedicated BC 1.2 fast‑charge port delivers up to 1.5A (7.5W) and supports CDP for data and charging or DCP for charging when the hub isn't connected to a computer. A 24W total power budget is shared across all ports for reliable device charging.

Reliable, Self‑Powered Operation

Powered by the included 24W external adapter, the self‑powered hub ensures stable performance even with multiple devices connected. Built‑in overcurrent and overvoltage protection helps reduce device dropouts and protects the host system, while support for Wake on USB and USB event monitoring enhances manageability.

Easy Integration

A removable 2‑in‑1 USB‑C/USB‑A host cable provides flexible connectivity with modern and legacy systems.

Sustainable Design

The hub features a 70% post‑consumer recycled (PCR) plastic enclosure and a 35% PCR TPE jacket, helping reduce environmental impact and support ESG requirements.
