More Than Just USB Ports

Why carry two adapters when one will do the job? Our most popular 3-port hubs include a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port, providing a fast and stable wired internet connection alongside three additional USB 3.0 ports. This is a game-changer for users of ultra-thin laptops that have removed the Ethernet jack, allowing you to enjoy reliable, high-speed networking and connect your peripherals simultaneously.

Designed for Portability and Convenience

Space in your laptop bag is at a premium. Our 3-port hubs feature slim, lightweight designs that are easy to carry wherever you go. With built-in cables, you don't have to worry about carrying extra cords, and the bus-powered design means you can use the hub anywhere without needing to find a wall outlet. It's the perfect companion for students, digital nomads, and business travelers.

High-Speed Performance for Modern Peripherals

Despite their small size, our 3-port hubs don't compromise on speed. With support for USB 3.0 (5Gbps), you can transfer files, sync devices, and connect high-performance accessories with ease. Our Gigabit Ethernet ports support full wire-speed performance, ensuring you get the most out of your high-speed internet or local network connection for gaming, streaming, and large downloads.
