Expand One USB-C Port into Four USB-A Connections

The UGREEN 20841 helps address the limited number of USB ports commonly found on modern laptops and tablets. By connecting the hub to a compatible USB-C port, users can access four USB-A connections for multiple peripherals at the same time.

This arrangement is useful for workstations that need a keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive, printer, or other accessories connected simultaneously. It can also reduce the need to switch devices between ports during everyday work, study, and home computing.

USB 3.0 Data Transfer Speeds up to 5Gbps

Supporting USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, the UGREEN 20841 offers a practical interface for transferring files between compatible computers and USB storage devices. It is suitable for everyday document transfers, media files, backups, and general peripheral connectivity.

The 5Gbps figure is the maximum theoretical interface rate, not a guaranteed file-transfer speed. Actual performance depends on the host port, connected peripheral, cable quality, file sizes, and other system limitations. When multiple devices transfer data simultaneously, they share the available upstream bandwidth.

Four USB-A Ports for Everyday Peripherals

The four USB-A ports support a wide range of compatible USB accessories. Users can connect input devices such as keyboards and mice, storage devices such as flash drives, and peripherals such as printers and card readers. This makes the hub suitable for extending connectivity on computers with a limited number of available USB-A ports.

The hub expands data connectivity; it does not add video outputs, Ethernet connectivity, or additional USB-C ports. Devices that require dedicated power may need their own power adapter or a separately powered USB hub.

Durable Aluminum Alloy Housing

The UGREEN 20841 features an aluminum alloy enclosure designed for durability and heat dissipation during everyday operation. Its compact housing is suitable for desk setups and mobile work environments where accessories may be connected and disconnected regularly.

The grey finish provides a neutral appearance that complements many laptops, monitors, and office accessories. Its small footprint also helps keep a workspace organised without taking up the space required by a larger docking station.

Plug-and-Play Convenience

The hub is designed for straightforward installation on compatible devices. Connect the USB-C host connector to a supported USB-C port, then attach the required USB peripherals. Standard hub functions generally operate without separate driver installation on supported Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

Compatibility with smartphones and tablets depends on whether the device supports USB host or OTG functionality. Some devices may require the appropriate settings or may restrict the use of particular USB accessories.

Compact and Portable Design

With a slim form factor and integrated host cable, the UGREEN 20841 is easy to carry alongside a laptop or tablet. It is suitable for users who move between home, office, classrooms, and other work locations and need additional USB-A connections without carrying a full docking station.

The compact design is particularly useful for temporary workstations, shared desks, travel setups, and everyday peripheral expansion.

Compatibility and Important Considerations

• USB-C Host Requirement: The connected computer, tablet, or phone must support USB data and, where applicable, USB host or OTG functionality. A USB-C-shaped connector alone does not guarantee compatibility.
• Data Only: This hub is intended for USB data connectivity. It does not provide HDMI or DisplayPort video output, Ethernet, or USB-C Power Delivery passthrough for charging the host device.
• Shared Bandwidth: All four downstream ports share the bandwidth available through the single host connection.
• Power Limitations: The hub is bus-powered and has no dedicated power input. High-power peripherals or multiple power-hungry devices may require a separately powered hub.
• External Storage: Some external hard drives or other peripherals may require their own power source, depending on their power consumption.
• Device Compatibility: Functionality depends on the operating system, host USB-C implementation, and the connected peripheral.
• Cable Specification: Published cable-length figures vary by listing or product revision; confirm the supplied product specification if exact cable length is essential.
