UGREENUSB C to USB Hub with 4 USB 3.0, Powered USB C Splitter for Laptop, MacBook Pro, Mac mini M4, iMac, iPad Pro, Chromebook, Dell XPS, Galaxy S23, and More, 0.5FT

I use the UGREEN USB-C to USB Hub with 4 USB 3.0 ports on my desktop PC to easily add more USB ports. It works reliably and provides fast data transfer speeds, allowing me to connect multiple devices like external drives, keyboards, and mice without any issues. The hub is simple to set up just plug and play and the powered connection ensures stable performance even with several devices connected at once. Its compact design fits nicely on my desk without clutter. Overall, it’s a convenient and efficient way to expand USB connectivity on my desktop.

If you have power-hungry USB devices but don't want a self‑powered hub with a bulky AC brick, this is the solution. Exactly what I was looking for.Works perfectly with my external disc drive, which would otherwise stop working when connected directly to my PC’s USB port due to insufficient power.By default, the hub uses bus power from the PC. However, when you connect a 5V phone charger to the auxiliary 5V-in port, it seamlessly switches to using external power. Most importantly, it correctly handles the power isolation, meaning your phone charger won't backfeed into your PC motherboard, or vice versa.Here is some experiments I did:1. Open-circuit voltages:PC USB port = 5.17 VPhone charger = 5.04 V2. Connected to PC only:2a) No device on hub: hub port voltage = 5.17 V; PC current draw = 39 mA.2b) With ~100 mA device on hub: PC current draw = 137 mA.3. Connected to both PC and phone charger:3a) No device on hub: hub port voltage = 4.99 V; PC current draw = 2.1 mA.3b) Connect a device (~100 mA) to the hub: PC current draw = 2.5 mA.

Excellent product

Unlike some of the other USB-C expanders I've got here, this one is just a plastic case, not aluminum like it looks in the picture. The plastic is a tad "creaky" when squeezed but it seems decently built and I don't really expect any problems in practice with it.And as the product description does say and other reviews point out, the USB-C power input on this is just to make it work a bit more like a "powered hub" (e.g. for hard disks and such) and does NOT charge the laptop.So this isn't a premium adapter by any means, but they didn't charge a premium either. It's working well just to give some more ports from a laptop where I'm often running out. I sometimes use laptop stands above the devices I'm programming/troubleshooting on my workbench, and so the option for a bit longer cable is great.Reports as a USB3.1 hub (vendor 0x05e3, product 0x0626) and a USB2.1 hub (same vendor, product 0x0610) and nothing else when plugged into a MBP and so far so good using it.

Great for additional USB ports or for when your USB ports on your laptop stop working:Saved a bunch of money by purchasing this for multiple coworkers whose USB ports were damaged vs sending their computers in for repair or replacement.

4 port hub that lets you plug in 4 USB A items into 1 USB C port. Does what it's supposed to. No complaints so far.

Bought this 2 years ago but only started to use it in the last few months for a pc we use as backup. The two usb A ports did not work for some reason and we probably need a new motherboard. However it has a working usb C port and we needed something that would allow for a few additional things to be connected to it. So, we started using this and all was fine - for a while. Very carefully used but despite that only one of the USB A ports works now. So I didn't use it for a few days but decided to give it another try, to see, as my husband likes to say, if it got better. Well, no it didn't, it got sicker. Now, NONE of the USB A ports work. At this point it's useless. It's not that expensive and a lot cheaper than a new motherboard but I have to say it's rather disappointing for it to conk out after only a short time being used. I'm getting another one of these but this time I'll try another brand.

Simple to use; plug-n-play. Bonus: it has a place to plug in your power cord. On the newer Macbook Airs they only give you ONE USBc port. So, plug this in to that port and plug your power cord into the power slot on the adapter. You get the hub and still get power at the same time.
