USB-C 4‑Port USB Hub WENTRONIC Goobay Slim — 5 Gbit/s data transfer

The WENTRONIC Goobay Slim USB‑C 4‑Port USB Hub expands a single USB‑C port into four USB Type‑A ports, enabling connection of flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, mice and other peripherals. The compact, slim housing and integrated short cable are designed for laptops, tablets and compact workstation setups. The hub supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s per hub, allowing fast file transfer between connected devices while maintaining a low-profile footprint for travel and daily use.

Advantages

The slim aluminum-look housing provides a small, lightweight solution that keeps a workspace tidy and minimizes strain on device ports. With four USB Type‑A ports available simultaneously, the hub reduces the need to swap cables and allows multiple peripherals to operate at once. Support for up to 5 Gbit/s data throughput ensures compatibility with high‑speed external drives and fast flash media, while plug‑and‑play operation requires no drivers for most modern operating systems.

Suitable for

• Expanding a single USB‑C port on laptops or tablets to multiple USB‑A ports
• Connecting external SSDs, HDDs and USB flash drives for data transfer and backups
• Attaching keyboards, mice, printers and other peripherals in home or office setups
• Mobile and travel use where a compact hub simplifies cable management

Key specifications

• Interface input: USB‑C (host)
• Interface output: 4 × USB Type‑A ports
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s per hub
• Compatibility: USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 Gen 1 compatible with USB‑A peripherals
• Form factor: slim, compact housing with integrated short cable
• Power: bus-powered from the host USB‑C port (no external power supply required for typical USB devices)

How to use

Connect the hub's USB‑C plug to a compatible USB‑C port on your laptop, tablet or desktop. After connection, plug USB‑A devices into the hub's four ports. For most operating systems the hub is recognized automatically and devices are available immediately. When using high‑power peripherals or multiple external drives simultaneously, ensure the host device can supply adequate bus power or use externally powered devices where necessary. Safely eject external storage from the operating system before disconnecting to prevent data loss.

Usage recommendations

Use the hub on a stable surface and avoid placing heavy objects on the integrated cable to prevent strain. For sustained high‑speed transfers with multiple external drives, connect directly to a USB‑C port that supports full host power and data bandwidth. If a peripheral requires its own power supply, continue using the device's dedicated adapter to ensure reliable operation.
