What it does

How this one is built

Aluminum shell

The slim metal body slides into a bag pocket and takes the knocks of daily travel without cracking. It keeps heat away from the internal board during long data transfers.

Reversible host lead

The built-in USB-C cable plugs into your laptop right side up or upside down on the first try. It draws power straight from the host bus with no wall wart needed.

Peripheral connections

A row of USB-A ports handles standard office hardware, from flash drives and printers to headsets and input devices. Older USB gear runs alongside newer peripherals without driver installs.

Desk cable layout

The tethered lead keeps the hub flat on your desk instead of hanging off the side of your machine. Connected cables stay grouped together in one spot.
