Product Information

Full details

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.

Can I charge my tablet and smartphone simultaneously?

What is the total power output of the external power supply?

The hub comes with an external 12V 3A power supply, providing a total power output of 36W, which is distributed across the seven ports.

What type of cable is used to connect the hub to the computer?

The hub connects to the computer using a USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable, which is typically included.

What is the housing material of the hub?

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.

Intermittent data connection or slow speeds

Check all cable connections. If using older USB 1.1 devices, ensure Multi-TT technology is functioning correctly (this is automatic). Avoid connecting too many high-bandwidth devices simultaneously. Try restarting your computer.

USB devices are not detected

Disconnect and reconnect the USB device. Try plugging the device directly into the computer's USB port to confirm the device is functioning. Ensure the device is compatible with the USB standard being used.
