USB hub ACT AC6121 Type-A 5000 Mbit/s alumínium

The ACT AC6121 USB Hub adds four extra USB-A ports to a laptop or computer in a lightweight solid aluminium housing. It is a compact USB 3.2 Gen1 (USB 3.0) hub that expands a single Type-A host port into multiple Type-A ports while remaining backward compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. The hub is USB bus powered for typical peripherals and includes a built-in USB-C power port for connecting an optional charger when additional device power is required.

Advantages

The aluminium casing provides a durable and compact design that fits easily into a laptop bag. Compliant with USB 3.2 Gen1, the hub supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps for fast file transfers. Backward compatibility ensures older USB devices work without issues. The integrated USB-C power port allows connecting a standard USB-C charger to supply extra power to connected devices such as a 2.5" hard drive when necessary.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB-A peripherals (mouse, keyboard, USB flash drives, external SSDs)
• Expanding a laptop or desktop USB Type-A port to support additional devices
• Using with low-power accessories without an external charger
• Connecting higher-power devices (e.g., 2.5" HDD) when an external USB-C charger is attached

How to use

Connect the ACT AC6121 to your computer using the integrated USB Type-A cable or plug it into the host Type-A port. Attach USB-A peripherals to the hub's ports. For most mice, keyboards and flash drives the hub will provide sufficient power directly from the host. If you connect a device that requires more power (for example a 2.5" HDD), connect a standard USB-C charger to the hub's built-in USB-C power port using a USB-C charging cable (charger and cable not included).

Recommendations

Use a quality USB-C charger that provides adequate current for the connected devices when external power is needed. Avoid hot-swapping high-power drives during active file transfers to reduce the risk of data loss.
