DELOCK USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C hub 7-poorts (4×Type-C, 3×Type-A) 10 Gbit/s grijs

The DELOCK USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Hub is a compact 7‑port hub that connects to a PC or laptop via USB Type-C. It provides four USB Type‑C downstream ports and three USB Type‑A downstream ports for connecting USB flash drives, card readers, external enclosures and other USB devices. The hub supports high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbit/s and features a grey aluminium housing. It is USB-powered and compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS Monterey–Sequoia and Linux Kernel 6.2/6.5.

Advantages

The hub offers mixed Type‑C and Type‑A ports in a single compact unit, enabling connection of modern USB‑C peripherals as well as legacy USB‑A devices. With support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) the device enables fast data transfers between connected devices. The aluminium housing provides stability and a compact design suitable for mobile use.

Suitable for

• Expanding USB connectivity on laptops and desktops
• Connecting high-speed storage devices such as external SSDs and flash drives
• Using multiple peripherals at once (card readers, external enclosures, input devices)
• Travelling with a compact hub to extend port availability

When it may not be suitable

The hub relies on a host USB Type‑C port and provides shared bandwidth across ports; when multiple high-bandwidth devices are used simultaneously, individual transfer speeds may be lower than the maximum. If a specific device requires a dedicated upstream or proprietary docking feature (for example video output or Ethernet not listed), this hub may not provide those functions.

Key specifications

• Host interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) Type‑C
• Downstream ports: 4 × USB Type‑C, 3 × USB Type‑A (USB 3.2 Gen 2)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 10 000 Mbit/s
• Power delivery support: USB Power Delivery up to 80 W via dedicated Type‑C PD port
• Power source: USB‑powered (can be used without external power supply)
• Housing: Grey aluminium
• Compatible operating systems: Windows 10/11, macOS Monterey–Sequoia, Linux Kernel 6.2/6.5

How to use

Connect the hub to a computer or compatible device using the USB Type‑C host connector. Plug downstream devices into the available USB‑C or USB‑A ports. To charge a laptop or tablet through the hub, connect a USB PD capable power adapter to the hub’s PD Type‑C port; the hub also operates without an external power supply for low‑power devices. No special drivers are required for supported operating systems beyond standard USB support.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your host device has a USB Type‑C port that supports USB data connectivity
• Consider total bandwidth needs if you plan to connect multiple high-speed storage devices simultaneously
• Verify whether you need additional features not provided by this hub (for example dedicated video output, Ethernet or SD card slot)

Recommendations

For best performance when transferring large files, connect one high-speed storage device at a time or use a powered USB PD adapter if you also need to charge a laptop while using multiple peripherals.
