Extend your laptop’s USB reach with a compact, USB-powered hub

The StarTech.com ST4300PBU3 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub turns a single USB 3.0 port into four, so you can connect more devices without sacrificing portability. Its integrated 25 cm (10 in) cable provides flexible placement, letting you position the hub and your accessories exactly where you want them—whether you’re at a desk, on a plane, or working from a coffee shop.

Built-in cable for flexible placement

The built-in cable helps you keep cables organized and reduces desk clutter. With the cable already attached, you can place the hub on the edge of a laptop or on a nearby surface, then connect printers, drives, dongles, and peripherals with ease.

• Four USB 3.0 ports boost your computer’s I/O without adding a bulky brick.
• Data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps support fast file moves and responsive peripheral use.
• Backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices, expanding compatibility with older gear.
• USB-powered design means no external power adapter is required for everyday tasks.
• Plug-and-play setup with no driver installation on most operating systems.

Smart design for any workspace

The ST4300PBU3 features an upright port configuration that saves desk space, keeping your busy area tidy while giving quick access to frequently used devices. If you prefer, you can lay the hub flat to reach peripherals like external hard drives or printers more comfortably.

• Compact, portable form ideal for travel, classrooms, or a mixed workstation environment.
• Fits neatly in a laptop bag or carrying case, ready for on-the-go productivity.
• Supported across virtually all operating systems, with broad compatibility for a mix of devices.

Real-world use cases and benefits

Whether you are syncing media, attaching a wireless keyboard and mouse, or expanding port options for a presentation, this hub offers reliable USB 3.0 performance in a compact package. Consider it as a flexible expansion tool for laptops, tablets, and Surface devices that need more ports without adding weight or bulk. The built-in cable helps you tailor placement to your space, while the independent ports stay easily reachable for quick plug-ins during busy days.

Note: While the hub supports high-speed transfers and modern USB devices, actual performance depends on your host computer and connected peripherals. The design emphasizes practical ease of use, portability, and compatibility, offering possibilities rather than guarantees for every scenario.
