This article covers Plugable USB 3.0 ハブ 4 ポート Windows PC Surface Pro Chromebook Linux Android で使用可能.

Overview

The Plugable USB 3.0 4-Port Hub is a compact, bus-powered hub designed to add four USB 3.0 Type-A ports to your laptop or desktop PC. With support for SuperSpeed 5Gbps data transfer, it's ideal for connecting keyboards, mice, flash drives, and other peripherals. Note that this hub is strictly for data transfer—it does not support charging connected devices. Compatibility spans Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux, making it a versatile companion for a wide range of systems.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The hub connects to your host device via a built-in USB 3.0 Type-A cable. Each downstream port supports USB 3.0 5Gbps and is backward-compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices. You can simultaneously connect up to four peripherals, such as a keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive, or external hard drive. However, since the hub draws power entirely from the host USB port, high-power devices (like some 2.5" external drives) may not function reliably. The hub does not support any charging functionality—do not attempt to charge smartphones or tablets through it.

Product Info

Released in 2023, the Plugable USB 3.0 4-Port Hub is an entry-level product priced around ￥1,980. Its matte black plastic shell is lightweight and compact, with an integrated 15cm cable. The package includes the hub only. It comes with a 2-year warranty and direct manufacturer support. The hub is widely available on and other major online retailers.

Best Use Cases

Remote workers/telecommuters: If your laptop lacks enough USB ports, this hub can handle a keyboard, mouse, and a flash drive simultaneously. Keep in mind that devices requiring charging will need their own power adapters. Desktop users wanting front-panel ports: Place the hub on your desk for easy access to USB ports, especially useful for frequently swapping USB drives. Be aware that sharing the 5Gbps bandwidth across multiple high-speed devices may cause performance drops. * Linux/ChromeOS users: Works out of the box with no driver installation required on most distributions. For users who need USB-C or Thunderbolt connectivity, consider an alternative hub with those interfaces.
