Hub USB FANTEC UMP-4U31-C con 4x porte USB-A 3.0 e connessione USB-C

FANTEC UMP-4U31-C is a compact USB hub that converts a single USB-C connection into four USB-A 3.0 ports. Designed for laptops, tablets and other devices with limited connectors, this hub enables simultaneous connection of external drives, keyboards, mice and flash drives while preserving USB 3.0 data transfer rates. Its plug-and-play operation requires no additional drivers and the small form factor makes it convenient for travel or desktop use.

Advantages

The hub offers four USB-A 3.0 ports that support high-speed data transfers, enabling quick file access and backup. Its USB-C interface ensures wide compatibility with modern host devices. The compact housing reduces desk clutter and the cable-mounted connector simplifies positioning without occupying additional ports. Installation is immediate and driverless on most operating systems, providing straightforward expansion of available USB ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSDs for data transfer and backup
• Attaching keyboard and mouse to laptops or tablets
• Using multiple USB flash drives simultaneously
• Connecting peripherals for presentations or remote work setups

Key specifications

• Interface: USB-C host to USB-A device ports
• Number of downstream ports: 4 x USB-A
• USB standard: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Data transfer speed: up to USB 3.0/VBUS specification (theoretical maximum per port dependent on host and device)
• Power: bus-powered via host USB-C port (no external power adapter included)
• Form factor: compact, lightweight hub with fixed cable and USB-C connector

How to use

Connect the hub's USB-C connector to an available USB-C port on your laptop, tablet or compatible host device. Plug peripherals into the USB-A 3.0 ports as required; devices should be recognised automatically by the host operating system. For power-hungry devices such as some external hard drives, ensure the host port can supply sufficient current or use a self-powered alternative. Safely eject storage devices from the host OS before disconnecting to avoid data loss.

Recommendations

Use high-quality USB cables and avoid overloading the hub with multiple high-current devices at once. For sustained heavy use with external drives, prefer hosts with USB-C ports that explicitly support higher current output or consider a powered hub. Keep the hub in a well-ventilated area and disconnect before moving connected storage devices.
