Raspberry Pi USB 3 Hub - 4-port USB 3.0 Hub

Description

The Raspberry Pi USB 3 Hub is a modern and versatile USB splitter designed specifically for users of Raspberry Pi computers and other devices utilizing USB ports. It allows you to gain additional USB ports to connect various peripherals such as keyboards, mice, external drives, printers, and other devices. This hub is invaluable for those who need more available ports for their Raspberry Pi or any USB-compliant device.

The hub features one USB 3.0 Type-A port as the input and four USB 3.0 Type-A ports as outputs. The USB 3.0 splitter enables fast data transmission at speeds of up to 5 Gbps, providing exceptionally rapid transfers essential for large multimedia files or when working with advanced peripherals. Additionally, the hub supports optional external power through a USB-C port (5V at 3A), enabling stable operation of devices with higher power demands.

This product is fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models and works seamlessly with other USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices, thanks to its backward compatibility. As a plug&play USB hub, it automatically connects and is ready for immediate use upon plugging into any USB port.

Operation and Connection

The Raspberry Pi USB 3 Hub operates based on a simple signal-splitting mechanism, allowing simultaneous connection of multiple peripherals. To use, simply connect the USB 3.0 splitter to a USB Type-A port on your Raspberry Pi computer with the integrated 8 cm USB cable. Then, plug up to four external devices into the available USB 3.0 ports. The hub is plug&play compatible, so it doesn’t require any driver installation – it connects to your system automatically.

If your connected devices require additional power, simply plug an optional power adapter into the USB Type-C port on the hub. The external power support of 5V at 3A provides stability when connecting power-hungry devices, such as external hard drives or large printers.

Usage Examples

• Home Office: Additional USB ports allow you to connect a keyboard, mouse, printer, and scanner without needing to constantly swap cables.
