USB hub QOLTEC 53792, USB-C 3.1 to 4‑port (USB 3.0 x1, USB 2.0 x3)

The QOLTEC 53792 USB hub converts a single USB-C 3.1 port into four downstream ports: one USB 3.0 port for high-speed data transfer and three USB 2.0 ports for connecting standard peripherals. Its compact design and plug-and-play operation allow laptops, tablets and other devices with USB-C ports to expand connectivity without additional drivers. The hub supports common USB devices such as flash drives, keyboards, mice and printers, enabling simultaneous connection of multiple accessories through one USB-C interface.

Advantages

The hub provides a mix of one high-speed USB 3.0 port and three USB 2.0 ports, offering a balance between fast data transfer for storage devices and reliable connectivity for low-bandwidth peripherals. Its USB-C 3.1 input ensures compatibility with modern hosts while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 3.0/2.0 devices. The compact form factor makes it easy to carry with a laptop or tablet, and the plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need to install drivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting external flash drives and portable SSDs for data transfer
• Attaching keyboards, mice and game controllers to USB-C equipped laptops or tablets
• Connecting printers, scanners or other office peripherals that use USB 2.0
• Expanding available USB ports for travel or remote work setups

How to use

Connect the hub's USB-C plug to a free USB-C 3.1 port on your laptop, tablet or compatible host device. Plug USB devices into the downstream USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports as required; use the USB 3.0 port for external storage or other high-bandwidth devices and USB 2.0 ports for keyboards, mice or printers. The host should recognise connected devices automatically without additional software. Safely eject storage devices from the host operating system before disconnecting to avoid data loss.

Usage recommendations

Use the USB 3.0 port for high-speed data transfers and the USB 2.0 ports for low-bandwidth peripherals. Avoid drawing excessive power from the hub by connecting multiple power-hungry devices at once; for high-power peripherals, use a host port that supplies adequate power or an externally powered hub if needed.
