Tripp Lite 4-Port USB-C to USB-A Portable Hub, USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-A
Laptops keep dropping ports while flash drives and peripherals stubbornly stay on standard USB-A. We built this compact hub to bridge that gap on your desk or on the road. It links multiple devices back through a single reversible plug without taking up room in your bag.

How this one is built
Aluminum enclosure
We wrap the electronics in a metal shell about the footprint of a bank card. It takes the rough handling of a travel bag and keeps heat away from the board inside.
Reversible host plug
The tethered host connector seats either side up on the first try. It ties directly into your computer or tablet port without needing driver discs or setup software.
Peripheral bank
Several standard USB jacks sit along the side for flash drives, keyboards, mice or printers. They move files at fast generation speeds while supplying juice to attached phones.
Auxiliary power port
An extra Micro-B jack lets you patch in wall power when you run hungry loads. It feeds the hub directly so your connected accessories stay up.
