VALUE 14.99.5041 is a compact USB-C interface hub designed to expand the connectivity of laptops, tablets and other devices with a USB Type-C host port. The hub features a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C host connection and a combination of USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C downstream ports. Housed in black aluminium and measuring 76 × 46 × 12.2 mm, the hub supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for connecting external drives, peripherals and accessories.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides a durable, lightweight shell with a compact footprint for easy portability. USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity enables high-speed data transfer up to the specified 1000 Mbit/s, while the mixed port layout (Type-A and Type-C) offers compatibility with a wide range of USB devices without requiring additional adapters. The small dimensions make the device unobtrusive on a desk and simple to carry with a laptop or tablet.

How to use

Connect the hub to the host device using the integrated or supplied USB-C connector so that the host recognises the hub as a USB hub. Plug downstream devices—such as external drives, keyboards, mice or other USB accessories—into the available Type-A and Type-C ports. The host operating system should automatically install necessary drivers for USB 3.2 Gen 1 class-compliant devices. For reliable data transfer, ensure cables and connected devices support the required USB specifications.

Recommendations

Use high-quality USB cables and connect high-power devices only when the host provides sufficient power. For large file transfers, connect storage devices directly to a host port supporting the same USB generation when possible to achieve optimal transfer speeds. Keep the aluminium housing clean and avoid exposure to liquids or excessive heat.
