It features 7 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.) Type A ports, BC 1.2 Battery charging support for faster charging of tablets, phones, and USB-powered accessories with up to 1.5A per port and a total output of 36W. It also includes Multi-TT (Transaction Translator) to ensure smooth, full-speed data for older USB 1.1 devices. The hub has one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type B input for seamless connection to PCs or Macs, and an external 12V 3A PSU for a stable power supply across all ports. Its compact form factor fits easily on any desk or workstation. This hub is ideal in environments where multiple devices are frequently used and are required to charge and sync data or to simply increase the number of ports on a PC. USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 all support data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps.
The Lindy 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub is designed for users needing expanded connectivity and reliable charging for multiple USB devices. Its key benefit is providing seven high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports with up to 1.5A charging capability per port, all from a single host connection. A potential caveat is that the charging speed is dependent on the external power adapter, and older USB 1.1 devices may experience performance variations without Multi-TT technology.

Troubleshooting
Hub not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable is securely connected to both the hub and the computer. Verify the external power adapter is connected and powered on. Try a different USB port on the computer or a different USB cable.
Devices not charging or charging slowly
Confirm the external power adapter is connected and plugged in. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the hub's capacity. Some high-power devices may require a dedicated charger. Check if the device supports BC 1.2 charging.
