The Plugable USB3-HUB4A is a USB 3.0 hub, USB splitter, and USB port expander that adds four USB-A ports to any computer with a free USB-A connection plug it in and go, with no drivers to install. It's a straightforward way to expand USB connectivity on laptops and desktops deployed across an office, clinic, warehouse, or any environment where legacy USB-A peripherals stay in use longer than the computers connecting to them.
Each port on this USB adapter transfers data at up to 5Gbps. Use it to connect keyboards, mice, barcode or badge scanners, external backup drives, flash drives, or any other USB accessory, the kind of everyday peripherals that stay in service across an equipment refresh even after the laptop changes.
This USB port expander is built for data, not power: it does not charge phones, tablets, or other connected devices, and its USB-A connector does not support USB-C, Thunderbolt, or USB4 hosts. It's compatible with Windows XP and above, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux a fit for mixed-OS fleets, not just one platform.
The case is lightweight and durable, with a matte finish that resists scuffs and won't scratch other gear in a bag, equally suited to staying on a desk as a standard fleet accessory or traveling between locations.
Backed by Plugable's 2-year limited warranty and lifetime support from our North American-based team a product IT teams can standardize on and reorder without re-qualifying it each time.
