Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C hub & Gigabit Ethernet

The Lindy USB Hub 43422 is a compact USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C hub with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet adapter. It connects a USB Type C laptop, ultrabook or tablet to a wired network while adding three additional high-speed USB ports (two Type A and one Type C). The hub supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates (up to 10 Gbps) and is backward compatible with USB 3.2/3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) and USB 2.0. Its aluminum and plastic housing is lightweight and bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.

Advantages

The hub provides a single compact solution for adding Gigabit Ethernet and multiple USB ports to devices with a USB Type C host. USB 3.2 Gen 2 support enables fast file transfers to and from external storage, while backwards compatibility ensures it works with older USB devices. The bus-powered design and small form factor make the unit easy to carry and use without additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Ultrabooks and laptops with USB Type C ports that lack an Ethernet port
• Tablets and 2-in-1 devices needing wired network access
• Connecting external storage, keyboards, mice and other USB peripherals

For optimal transfer speeds, use USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatible cables and devices.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance use a shielded Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable and connect to a gigabit-capable network switch or router. When transferring large files, connect storage devices and host to USB 3.2 Gen 2 compliant ports and cables to reach maximum throughput.
