Simplify your cable management with the Plugable USB 3.0 7-Port Hub, which features a detachable USB cable and a compact design that sits flat or stands vertically. The built-in over-current protection safeguards your devices, while the included power adapter and 3-foot cable give you flexible placement on your desk or mount. Perfect for creative pros juggling multiple USB devices, this hub keeps your workflow uninterrupted and your peripherals powered.
First, ensure the hub is connected to the included 36W power adapter—the charging ports will not output power without it. Also, try a different USB cable and port on your computer. If the issue persists, power-cycle the hub by unplugging it for 10 seconds, then reconnect. If you're using a USB-C laptop, you may need a USB-C to USB-A adapter that supports data and power delivery.
There is no physical reset button. To reset the hub, unplug it from power and your computer, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. For persistent issues, update your computer's USB drivers or try a different USB port.
The two charging ports support BC 1.2 and provide up to 1.5A (7.5W) each. They are designed for charging smartphones and tablets. Note that the data ports do not provide charging, but the included power adapter ensures all 7 data ports have full power for connected devices.
Yes, the hub is self-powered and includes a 36W power adapter. While data transfer may work without it (bus-powered), the adapter is required for reliable operation of multiple devices and to use the charging ports. Plug it in for full functionality.
This hub is a beast. I've connected 7 devices – external drives, keyboard, mouse, printer, and more – and everything works flawlessly. The two extra charging ports are perfect for keeping my phone and tablet topped up. The 36W adapter ensures enough power for all devices. Highly recommended.
The hub does its job perfectly. All 7 USB 3.0 ports deliver fast data transfer, and the charging ports are a nice addition. It feels well-built. My only nitpick is that it's a bit large and takes up space on my desk, but that's expected for a hub with this many ports. Good buy.
I have a laptop with only two USB ports, so this hub is a lifesaver. I've got my mouse, keyboard, external drive, and a USB light all plugged in without any issues. The charging ports are handy for my phone and wireless earbuds. It's sturdy and doesn't overheat. Love it.
This hub solved my connectivity problems. It's fast, reliable, and the external power means no dropped connections. The two charging ports are fast enough for my phone. I wish the data ports were spaced a little wider apart – some larger USB drives block adjacent ports. Other than that, great product.
I've been using this hub daily for over six months. It never misses a beat. I have it connected to my desktop, and I use all seven ports for various devices. It's nice to have the dedicated charging ports for my phone and tablet. The build quality is solid, and it doesn't feel cheap. Definitely worth the money.
I bought this for my home office. It works fine, but I have a couple of USB flash drives that are too big to fit in adjacent ports – you have to leave a port empty between them. That's a bit annoying. The charging ports are a plus. Overall, it's decent but not perfect.
I needed a hub to connect all my gaming peripherals – (keyboard, mouse, headset, controller charging dock, and RGB light). This hub handles it all. The fast transfer speeds are great for my external SSD. And the charging ports keep my controller and phone powered. No lag, no dropouts. Highly recommended for gamers.
I compared several hubs before settling on this one. It offers the most ports at a reasonable price. All ports work as expected, and the 36W adapter provides plenty of power. The blue LEDs on each port are a bit bright for my taste, but I covered them with a bit of tape. Overall, very satisfied.
Previously, I used a bus-powered hub, and my devices would randomly disconnect when power fluctuated. This externally-powered hub has completely solved that problem. Every device stays connected, and data transfer is fast. The two charging ports are a great bonus. A must-have for anyone with multiple USB devices.
The hub works perfectly for my USB-A devices. It's fast, reliable, and well-made. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that it doesn't have a USB-C port. My newer gadgets are USB-C, so I have to use adapters. That's not a fault of the hub, just a limitation. Still, I'm happy with the purchase.
