UGREEN CM219 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub (USB-A Male to 4x USB-A Female, 0.15m Cable) #25851

The UGREEN CM219 (25851) is a 4-port USB 3.0 hub that turns one USB-A port on a laptop or desktop into four. It is the answer to a thin machine with two ports and a mouse, a keyboard, a pen drive and an external hard disk all competing for them. All four downstream ports are USB 3.0 Type-A and run at up to 5Gbps, roughly 10x the throughput of USB 2.0, which is what matters the moment you start moving large files rather than plugging in a mouse. The built-in cable is a short 0.15m, so the hub sits tight against the laptop instead of trailing across the desk, and the body is slim enough to live permanently in a laptop sleeve. It supports external hard drives of up to 12TB, carries LED port indicators, and needs no drivers and no external power brick. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, and works across Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS as well as PS5, PS4 and Xbox consoles. It suits a modern ultrabook short on ports, a desktop whose rear ports are awkward to reach behind a table, and a console setup that needs somewhere to plug a controller and a drive at once. Plug-and-play means there is nothing to install and nothing to configure — connect it and the ports appear. It carries a one year brand warranty.
