Tripp Lite 4-Port USB-C to USB-A Portable Hub, USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-A

Thin laptops leave little room for legacy cables. We built this compact silver hub to fan out one Type-C jack into a row of Type-A ports, so flash drives, mice and printers plug straight in without swapping adapters. It tucks into a bag and runs right off bus power.

What it does

How this one is built

Machined aluminum shell

A slim metal case takes the knocks inside a laptop sleeve. It stays cool on the desk and keeps the footprint tiny alongside your machine.

Reversible host plug

The tethered Type-C connector seats right side up or upside down on the first try. It connects to modern tablets, phones and laptops without driver setup.

Full peripheral row

Standard Type-A jacks accept thumb drives, keyboards and office accessories. Each connection handles fast data movement alongside power delivery for charging handheld gear.

Auxiliary power input

A dedicated Micro-B port accepts an external feed when heavy draw devices need extra current. It keeps bus-powered drives stable during large file transfers.

These are the figures published for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
