Tripp Lite 7-Port Portable USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Mini Hub/Splitter Portable Aluminum 5 Gbps Data
Modern laptops carry few ports, which causes headaches once you sit down at a workstation. We built this compact aluminum hub to fan a single connection out to your flash drives, mice, and card readers. It slips into a laptop bag without adding bulk.

How this one is built
Aluminum enclosure
The metal shell takes the scrapes and bumps of travel inside a crowded bag. It also helps draw operating heat away from the internal board while handling multiple data transfers at once.
Bus powered operation
There is no bulky AC adapter to drag behind your desk or hunt for an outlet to power. The hub pulls the necessary current straight through the host connection, keeping cable clutter down.
Tight port spacing
Connectors seat firmly into the jacks without wobbling loose during accidental bumps. The layout leaves enough clearance for standard flash drives and peripheral plugs to sit side by side.
Plug and work
Your operating system recognizes the connected hardware immediately without hunting for extra drivers. It accepts older generation peripherals alongside modern high-speed gear without renegotiating the whole bus.
On the nameplate
These are the figures our retail partner lists 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.
