Ugreen USB 3.0 Hub with USB-C Port 1m (Black)-UG- 40850
The Ugreen UG-40850 provides dual-interface connectivity through integrated USB-C and USB-A 3.0 input options. This 4-port hub expands a single host port into multiple USB 3.0 Type-A connections. The 1-meter attached cable positions the hub at convenient distances from desktop or laptop computers.
This hub operates on USB 3.0 bandwidth specifications, delivering 5Gbps theoretical data throughput. The unit functions through plug-and-play operation across multiple operating systems without driver installation requirements.
Dual Input Interface Architecture
USB-C and USB-A Compatibility
The UG-40850 features two input connector options built into a single device. Users can connect through either USB Type-C or USB Type-A host ports depending on available system interfaces. This 2-in-1 configuration eliminates the need for separate hub models when working across different device types.
The USB-C input accommodates modern laptops, tablets, and smartphones manufactured from 2015 onward. The USB-A input maintains compatibility with traditional desktop computers and older portable devices. Both inputs connect to the same internal hub controller, providing identical functionality regardless of chosen interface.
Four USB 3.0 Output Ports
All four output ports comply with USB 3.0 specifications. Each port supports 5Gbps maximum bandwidth when connected individually. Total available bandwidth distributes across connected devices based on simultaneous usage patterns and individual device requirements.
The hub maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0, USB 1.1, and USB 1.0 devices. Older peripherals function at their native speeds without interfering with USB 3.0 device performance on other ports. This multi-generation support enables connection of mixed peripheral ecosystems.
Data Transfer Performance
5Gbps Bandwidth Allocation
USB 3.0 technology provides 5Gbps theoretical maximum transfer speed. This represents a 10-fold improvement over USB 2.0’s 480Mbps specification. Large file transfers, including HD video content and system backups, complete substantially faster compared to legacy USB standards.
Real-world transfer speeds vary based on connected device capabilities, file system overhead, and simultaneous device activity. Sequential transfers to a single USB 3.0 device typically achieve 300-400MB/s throughput under optimal conditions. Multiple concurrent transfers share available bandwidth proportionally.
