Add Gigabit Ethernet and three USB 3.0 ports to almost any laptop with the Plugable Bus-Powered 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub With Gigabit Ethernet (USB3-HUB3ME). Whether your computer has USB-A ports, or newer USB-C ports, this plug and play adapter makes it easy to use a wired network and connect more devices. This hub is the perfect travel companion for any laptop due to its small size and USB bus powered design removing the need for a bulky power adapter to operate.

Common Uses
The Plugable USB3-HUB3ME is a simple solution for adding an Ethernet connection to your laptop, ultrabook, and notebook or upgrading your network adapter in your desktop PC. You can also add additional network interfaces and transfer files peer-to-peer over the hub’s wired Gigabit Ethernet network.

With three additional USB 3.0 ports, get the connectivity you need. Increase your productivity by adding a flash drive, keyboard, and mouse. Please note that this product is not a solution for connecting a USB device like a printer to a network.

Compatible with Apple computers (MacBook Retina, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air), Microsoft Surface series (Surface Pro, Surface Book, Surface Laptop, Surface Go), Dell XPS/Inspiron/Vostro, Chromebooks, and more.

Perfect for travelers that need to access a wired network for security, businesses that have a mix of USB 3.0 and USB-C systems, and for anyone that needs the perfect companion to increase their connectivity.

Design and Performance
This hub features a sleek, sturdy, and compact black aluminum design perfect for travel and small work spaces. The hub’s LEDs indicate Ethernet diagnostics and USB connectivity. It also features intelligently placed USB ports that ensure all of your devices plug in without interfering with each other.

Nobody likes a flaky WiFi connection with videos constantly buffering, or laggy connections to multiplayer game servers. A wired network connection can help the flow of data to remain constant, and improve transfer rates. The USB3-HUB3ME can improve speeds compared to most wireless networks. Plug into any laptop or desktop limited to 10/100 Ethernet or no Ethernet at all to benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet network. The hub also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.

USB 3.0 systems support theoretical maximum transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and USB 2.0 supports up to 480Mbps. In practice, most machines will double in network speeds by moving from a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet via USB 2.0, and could see more than twice that gain on USB 3.0.
