VALUE 14.99.5039 USB-hub

The VALUE 14.99.5039 USB Hub is a compact multiport adapter designed to expand a single USB-C connection into additional USB-A and USB-C interfaces. Constructed from durable aluminum with a black finish, the hub provides USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connectivity and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, enabling data transfer speeds up to 5000 Mbit/s. Its small footprint (94 mm x 40 mm x 11 mm) and bus-powered operation make it a practical accessory for laptops, tablets, and other devices with USB-C ports.

Advantages

The aluminum housing offers improved heat dissipation and mechanical stability compared with plastic enclosures. USB 3.2 Gen 1 support ensures backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices while delivering high-speed data transfers for external drives, flash storage and peripherals. The compact dimensions and lightweight design facilitate easy transport and desktop placement without additional power adapters, since the hub is powered via USB.

Suitable for

• Expanding a laptop or tablet USB-C port to connect multiple USB-A devices
• Connecting external SSDs and HDDs for fast data transfer and backups
• Attaching USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice and printers
• Using on business travel or in home office setups where portability is required

• Downstream ports: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Power supply: bus-powered via USB
• Material: aluminum housing
• Colour: black
• Dimensions: 94 mm x 40 mm x 11 mm

How to use

Connect the hub's USB-C plug to the host device's USB-C port. Once connected, the host should recognise each attached USB-A device automatically; no driver installation is typically required for standard mass-storage devices and common peripherals on modern operating systems. Attach USB-A devices to the hub's downstream ports and transfer files or use peripherals as usual. If multiple high-power devices are connected simultaneously, data throughput may be affected by the host device's power and bandwidth limitations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect high-speed storage devices directly to the hub when the host supports USB 3.2 Gen 1. Avoid connecting multiple power-hungry devices at the same time without checking the host's available USB power. Keep the aluminum housing ventilated and avoid covering the hub during extended heavy transfers to assist passive cooling.
