Amazon Basics 5-Port USB-C Hub Dock – 10Gbps USB-C to USB-C/USB-A, Thunderbolt 3 Compatible

Expand your laptop's versatility with a compact 5-port USB-C hub

When your workspace is tight or you’re on the move, a single hub can unlock a world of connections. The Amazon Basics USB-C Hub Dock adds five ports: one upstream USB-C to link to your laptop, three USB-A ports for mice, keyboards, and drives, and one downstream USB-C port for peripherals. The slim, travel-friendly footprint keeps cables organized without bulk, whether you’re at a coffee shop, in a classroom, or at your desk.

With fast data transfer across the downstream connections, you can move files quickly, back up media, or share a presentation while you continue working on documents. The hub is designed for broad compatibility, including Thunderbolt 3 host support and compatibility with many Mac and Windows devices, giving you flexibility across devices you own or borrow.

Key features at a glance

• 5-port hub: 1 upstream USB-C, 3 USB-A, 1 downstream USB-C for peripherals
• Downstream data speeds up to 10Gbps per port for rapid transfers
• Plug & play: no driver installation; hot-swappable for convenient use

LED indicators illuminate to show when devices are connected or charging, making activity easy to spot at a glance. The compact form factor and evenly spaced ports help reduce cable clutter and keep peripherals accessible, whether you’re at a desk, in a classroom, or traveling between locations.

Power and performance notes

For best results, monitor the total current draw. The total accessories loading should not exceed 900 mA; if the upstream power supply is limited or multiple high-power devices are in use, charging or data performance may slow or disconnect. Typical currents give a rough sense: mouse and USB flash drive ~100 mA each, cameras up to 300 mA, keyboards around 500 mA, external hard drives near 900 mA.

Practical usage ideas

• Attach a mouse, keyboard, and USB drive for a compact mobile workstation.
• Move high-speed files from a USB-C drive at up to 10Gbps.

Designed for real-world use, this hub aims to expand your laptop’s reach without promising specific outcomes. If you need to connect multiple accessories or share a drive between devices, it offers a straightforward, reliable option to broaden connectivity.
