Description

i-tec Metal C31METALG3HUB hard drive bay panel Grey

The combination of the passive HUB with a Gigabit Ethernet adapter gives you the ability to quickly and easily connect your favorite USB devices to your laptop, tablet, or personal computer (PC) with the new USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 connector, as well as high-speed access to the network and the Internet via Gigabit Ethernet.

This combined device offers three USB 3.0 ports with Plug & Play functionality and standard USB charging. The HUB automatically recognizes when a device is connected and can be charged via USB. The USB 3.0 interface is especially important for data transfers from memory cards and USB 3.0 flash drives, during which you can fully appreciate their high transfer speeds.

The Gigabit Ethernet port offers easy access to 10/100/1000 Mbps networks. Together with it, you can enjoy a high-speed Internet connection without any interruptions.

The HUB is bus-powered and has built-in overvoltage protection to protect your computer in the event of a short circuit in peripheral devices. It supports a wide range of operating systems, from Windows and Mac OS to Linux. Ethernet is also possible for Android devices. However, support for this feature must be provided directly by the manufacturer of the respective Android device. You can easily check support for this in Settings, Wireless & Networks → Other Networks, where Ethernet must be listed.

The HUB is ideal for use with the 2016 MacBook Pro, 2015 MacBook, 2015 Chromebook Pixel, Acer Switch Alpha 12, Dell XPS 13, HP EliteBook Folio G1, ASUS UX390UAK, and other devices with a USB-C connector. This connector has several advantages. Its small, symmetrical size makes it extremely easy to connect because it doesn't matter which side faces up or which faces down. This way, you can relax and not pay too much attention when using it. If you want to learn more about USB-C, you can click here.
