USB hub Exsys EX-12290HMS — 10-port USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 with 4× USB-C and 6× USB-A

The Exsys EX-12290HMS — 10-port USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 hub provides four USB-C and six USB-A ports to expand a single host connection into multiple high-speed device interfaces. Designed for desktop workstations, laptops and media devices, this hub supports simultaneous connections for external drives, docking accessories, input devices and other peripherals while maintaining the higher throughput of USB 3.2 Gen 2x1.

Advantages

The hub offers a compact and practical way to increase the number of available USB ports without changing host hardware. With mixed USB-C and USB-A connectors it supports a wide range of modern and legacy devices. USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 performance enables faster file transfers with compatible devices, and the 10-port layout helps consolidate multiple peripherals into a single hub for neater cable management and easier access.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple external SSDs and HDDs for fast data transfer
• Attaching keyboards, mice, printers and other peripherals to a single host
• Expanding port availability on laptops and compact PCs
• Using with media players or streaming devices that require multiple USB connections
• Temporary workstation setups where multiple USB devices are needed

Key specifications

• Interface standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (10 Gbps theoretical maximum per compatible port)
• Port count and types: 4 × USB-C, 6 × USB-A
• Host connection: Single upstream USB port (type depends on host cable included or required)
• Supported device classes: Mass storage, HID, printers, audio interfaces and general USB peripherals
• Power: Bus-powered or externally powered depending on host and connected devices (check device power requirements)
• Form factor: Desktop hub with multiple rear/front access ports for convenience

How to use

Connect the hub to the host computer using the supplied upstream cable or an appropriate upstream connector on the host. After the host recognizes the hub, attach USB devices to any of the available USB-C or USB-A ports. For high-speed data transfers, connect compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 devices and use ports that support the higher transfer rate. If connected devices require more power than the host can supply, use an external power source if supported by the hub to ensure stable operation.

Usage recommendations

Place the hub on a stable surface and route cables to avoid strain on connectors. When transferring large files, connect storage devices directly to USB 3.2 Gen 2x1-capable ports and ensure the host port supports the same standard. For power-hungry peripherals, prefer an externally powered configuration if available. Keep firmware and host USB drivers up to date to maintain compatibility and performance.
