ORICO USB Type-C Hub with 3× USB 2.0 Ports and 1× USB 3.0 Port

ORICO USB Type-C Hub expands a single USB-C port into three USB 2.0 Type-A ports and one USB 3.0 Type-A port, offering basic data transfer and peripheral connectivity for laptops, tablets and smartphones with USB-C. The hub supports simultaneous operation of all four ports, enabling connection of keyboards, mice, flash drives, card readers, portable hard drives and other USB devices. The aluminium alloy housing with a striped design improves heat dispersion while keeping the unit lightweight and compact for easy transport.

Advantages

The hub provides a mix of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to balance backward compatibility and higher-speed transfers where needed. Its plug-and-play operation requires no drivers on supported operating systems, and the long 150 cm cable offers flexible placement. The aluminium housing helps dissipate heat for stable operation and the compact dimensions make the hub easy to carry with mobile devices.

How to use

Connect the hub's USB Type-C plug to a compatible USB-C port on your laptop, tablet or smartphone. Once connected, attach USB devices such as keyboards, mice, flash drives or external storage to the Type-A ports. The USB 3.0 port provides higher transfer speeds for compatible devices; other ports operate at USB 2.0 speeds. For smartphone or tablet use, ensure the device supports OTG and use an appropriate OTG adapter or cable if required. No driver installation is typically needed on supported systems.

Usage recommendations

To ensure stable operation, avoid connecting high-power devices that require dedicated power (such as some portable optical drives or large external hard drives) without their own power source. Use the USB 3.0 port for devices that benefit from higher transfer rates, and keep the aluminium housing clear of obstructions to maintain adequate heat dispersion.
