This 3-port USB 3.0 hub with Gigabit Ethernet couples your USB peripheral and RJ45 network connections into a single convenient hub, with support for USB Power Delivery. This means that you can power and charge your laptop through its USB-C™ port while simultaneously powering the hub.
With its integrated USB Type-C™ cable and small-footprint design, this versatile hub offers a perfectly portable solution for connecting devices that require traditional USB Type-A ports to your USB-C or Thunderbolt™ 3 equipped computer.
If your USB-C equipped laptop or MacBook is missing the ports you need, this hub can help. The versatile USB 3.0 hub gives you access to not only your USB peripheral devices but also a wired internet connection. It offers a Gigabit Ethernet port, so you can connect to a network in locations where Wi-Fi® is unreliable or unavailable.
This USB hub is multi-platform compatible, which means it will work with a wide range of USB-C laptops that use a USB-C power adapter. It also works with a range of operating systems such as Windows®, macOS, Linux® and Chrome OS™. It automatically installs once you connect it to your laptop, so you can be up and running in seconds.
This USB-C 3.0 hub supports USB Power Delivery 2.0, so instead of carrying multiple cables and power adapters, you can use your laptop’s USB-C power adapter to power both your laptop and the hub. By using just a single power adapter instead of two, you can eliminate clutter and hassle when you work.
With its compact and rugged design, you can take this portable USB 3.0 hub anywhere you go. Because it’s so compact, it’s easy to tuck into your laptop bag and only takes up a small amount of desk space when you connect it to your workstation. For portable applications, having the integrated host (USB-C) cable means one less thing to remember to carry with you.
The HB30C3AGEPD is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Special Notes / Requirements | |
Note | Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C standard. Ensure that your host laptop's USB-C port supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 |
The hub can connect to a host laptop’s USB-C port that doesn’t support USB Power Delivery 2.0. However, in this configuration if a power adapter is connected to the hub, it will not pass power through to your host laptop. | |
The hub's USB-C port is for USB Power Delivery only. It does not support DisplayPort alt mode, or data transfers. | |
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1; this connectivity standard offers speeds up to 5Gbps. | |
System and Cable Requirements | Available USB Type-C port - USB 3.0 (5Gbps) (to ensure the hub powers and charges your laptop, your host laptop's USB-C port must support USB Power Delivery 2.0) |
Optional: USB-C power adapter (for example, your laptop’s USB-C based power adapter) | |
