It's bus-powered and includes a 1ft USB Type-C host cable, making it portable and easy to use with laptops and tablets. Compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, this hub is perfect for expanding your connectivity options.

## Long description

The StarTech.com USB-C Hub HB30C3A1GEA2 expands a USB-C port into three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports and one Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) port. The compact, bus-powered hub uses a built-in 1 ft (30 cm) USB-C host cable and provides a portable way to add wired network connectivity and multiple USB-A ports to laptops, tablets, and other USB-C devices.
Advantages
This hub provides Gigabit Ethernet with support for IEEE 802.3u/ab standards, Wake-on-LAN, Jumbo Frames and VLAN tagging to improve network reliability and performance. The three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports deliver up to 5 Gbps data rates and are backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. The hub draws power from the host (bus-powered) and each downstream port can supply up to 4.5 W (5 V / 0.9 A) with built-in overcurrent protection. A 1 ft (30 cm) integrated USB-C cable simplifies setup and reduces connector strain on laptops and 2-in-1 devices.
Suitable for
Adding wired Gigabit Ethernet to laptops and tablets without an RJ-45 port
Connecting multiple USB-A peripherals such as external drives, keyboards, mice, webcams and headsets
Use with USB-C and Thunderbolt-equipped computers including MacBook, Windows laptops, Chromebooks and iPadOS/Android tablets

Ethernet: 1 x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), IEEE 802.3u/ab compatible
Host interface: USB Type-C built-in 1 ft (30 cm) cable
Power: Bus-powered, up to 15 W drawn from host; each downstream port up to 4.5 W (5 V / 0.9 A)
Protection: Overcurrent protection (OCP) on USB ports
Compatibility: Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Android; supports Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 hosts
Dimensions / weight: Compact form factor, product weight approx. 0.037 kg
How to use
Connect the built-in USB-C host cable to a compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt port on your computer. The hub is plug-and-play and will be detected automatically by supported operating systems. Attach USB-A peripherals to the downstream ports and connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port for wired network access. The device draws power from the host system and does not require an external power adapter.
Usage recommendations
For optimal network performance, use a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable and connect to a Gigabit-capable switch or router. Avoid exceeding the total available bus power when connecting multiple high-power USB devices simultaneously; for sustained high-power peripherals consider a powered USB hub.
