USB Hubs to Expand Connectivity and Charge Devices
USB hubs are essential for modern setups with many peripherals. Whether you need extra ports for keyboards, external drives or to charge multiple devices, a reliable hub keeps your workspace organised and connected.
How to select the right USB hub
Match the hub's interface—USB-A, USB-C, USB 3.x or Thunderbolt—to your host device. Consider whether you require powered hubs (with external power supplies) to support high-draw devices like external hard drives. Port quantity, port types and data transfer standards determine performance and suitability.
Hub varieties and practical tips
- Bus-powered hubs – good for low-power peripherals like mice and keyboards.
- Self-powered hubs – include their own power supply to support drives, monitors and charging.
- USB-C hubs and multiport adapters – consolidate video, Ethernet and charging through one connection.
- Portable compact hubs – ideal for travel and slim laptops with limited ports.
- Desktop hubs with card readers – combine high port count with media access for photographers and creators.
Search for clearance items or refurbished hubs to save when outfitting multiple workstations. Confirm supported transfer speeds and power delivery specs to ensure the hub meets your devices' needs and reduces connection issues.
