Use Cases and Applications

Remote and Mobile Professionals

Ultrabooks and modern laptops often ship with only one or two USB-C ports. The Vention USB-C to USB 3.0×4/PD Hub solves this by adding four USB-A ports for peripherals while keeping your laptop charged. It fits easily in a laptop bag thanks to its 0.15 m cable and lightweight aluminum body.

Office Workstations

Connect a keyboard, mouse, USB headset, and flash drive to a single USB-C port. The hub supports all four ports running simultaneously. Additionally, the PD charging port keeps your laptop battery topped up throughout the workday.

Creative and Data-Intensive Workflows

Transfer large files from external hard drives at 5Gbps speeds. The hub supports HDDs up to 4TB when paired with external PD power. For instance, photographers and videographers can offload media from multiple drives without disconnecting other peripherals.

Education and Shared Environments

Students and educators can quickly connect USB storage, presentation remotes, and other accessories. The plug-and-play design means no software installation is needed — simply connect the hub and start working on any supported operating system.
