Rozširujúci hub ROLINE 14.02.5038 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C

The ROLINE 14.02.5038 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface hub expands a single USB-C host port into multiple high-speed downstream ports. Encased in a silver aluminum housing, the hub provides four ports and supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 host throughput of up to 5000 Mbit/s, while offering USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and Type-C downstream interfaces for broad device compatibility. The compact design is intended for desktop and mobile use where additional USB connections are required without sacrificing transfer speed.

Advantages

The hub delivers a combination of Gen 2 host performance and Gen 1 downstream compatibility, enabling fast file transfers and connection of legacy USB-A devices alongside modern USB-C peripherals. The aluminum housing improves heat dissipation and durability while maintaining a minimal footprint. Support for multiple interface types reduces the need for separate adapters and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting external storage drives, SSDs and HDDs for data transfer and backup
• Attaching peripherals such as keyboards, mice and printers to laptops and desktops
• Expanding USB ports on ultrabooks, tablets and compact PCs with a single Type-C port
• Using mixed USB-A and USB-C devices without additional converters

Key specifications

• Host interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-C) supporting up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Downstream interfaces: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C
• Ports quantity: 4
• Housing material and colour: silver aluminum
• Form factor: compact desktop/mobile hub

How to use

Connect the hub to an available USB-C host port supporting USB 3.x on your computer. Once plugged in, the operating system should recognize the hub and enumerate the downstream ports; no additional drivers are typically required for modern Windows, macOS and many Linux distributions. Attach USB-A or USB-C peripherals to the downstream ports as needed. For best results, connect high-bandwidth devices directly and avoid saturating multiple high-throughput devices simultaneously if sustained maximum transfer speed is required.

Recommendations

Place the hub on a stable surface with adequate ventilation to allow heat dissipation from the aluminum housing. Use a direct host connection rather than long passive adapters to preserve signal integrity. For large backups or sustained file transfers, connect one storage device at a time to maximize transfer rates and reduce thermal load.
