USB Hub 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen1 with USB-A and USB-C Ports and On/Off Switch by LOGILINK

The LOGILINK USB Hub 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen1 with USB-A and USB-C Ports and On/Off Switch is a compact expansion device that multiplies a single host port into four accessible ports for peripherals. It supports USB 3.2 Gen1 data transfer rates and combines both USB-A and USB-C connectors to accommodate a wide range of devices such as external hard drives, flash drives, keyboards and mice. Individual on/off switches on each port allow selective power control without unplugging connected devices.

Advantages

The hub offers high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 connectivity for faster file transfer compared with USB 2.0, while providing backward compatibility with older USB devices. The mix of USB-A and USB-C ports increases compatibility with modern and legacy peripherals. Individual on/off switches make power and device management straightforward and help prevent unnecessary power draw. Its compact design is suitable for desktop or mobile setups and supports plug-and-play operation without additional drivers on most systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting external storage devices for file transfer and backup
• Expanding ports for keyboards, mice and other input devices
• Connecting multiple flash drives for data access or transfer
• Temporary connections in mobile workstations or shared desks

Key specifications

• Interface standard: USB 3.2 Gen1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Port count: 4 downstream ports combining USB-A and USB-C
• Individual port switches: on/off control for each port
• Data transfer: up to USB 3.2 Gen1 speeds (up to 5 Gbps theoretical maximum)
• Power handling: bus-powered operation with per-port switching (external power not required for most peripherals)
• Form factor: compact, desktop-friendly housing for portable use

How to use

Connect the hub to a host device using the integrated upstream cable or appropriate connector, then plug peripherals into the available USB-A or USB-C downstream ports. Use the on/off switch for each port to enable or disable power and data to connected devices as needed. The hub typically works without installing drivers on modern operating systems, but check the host device’s USB settings if connected devices are not recognized.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, connect high-bandwidth devices such as external SSDs one at a time or to a dedicated port when transferring large files. Avoid relying on bus power for multiple high-power devices simultaneously; use an externally powered hub or connect high-draw peripherals directly to a powered host port if necessary.
