The DIGITUS Office Hub USB 3.0 with 7 ports is an external USB hub designed for use in office and workstation environments. It enables the simultaneous connection of up to seven USB devices to a computer or notebook, thereby expanding the number of available USB ports. The device is designed for use with USB 3.0 technology, which supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. This speed is particularly relevant for the fast exchange of large data volumes, for example when using external hard drives, USB flash drives, or other storage devices.

Functions and equipment in detail
The hub features seven USB 3.0 ports, each capable of utilizing the full bandwidth of the USB 3.0 specification. Power supply is provided by an integrated power adapter with an output voltage of 5 V and a current of 3.5 A. This power output is sufficient to supply multiple power-intensive devices simultaneously without affecting the power supply of the connected devices. The housing is made of aluminium, enabling a robust yet slim design. The surface features a discreet, timeless design that fits into various workspaces.

Technology explained simply
USB 3.0 technology offers significantly higher data transfer rates compared to older USB versions. The maximum speed of 5 Gbps enables fast access to large files, which is particularly beneficial when using external storage devices or transferring videos or images. The integrated power adapter ensures that the hub is not dependent on the host computer’s power supply, enhancing connection stability and the performance of connected devices. The aluminium housing also supports heat dissipation, which is helpful during continuous use.

Compatibility and accessories
The hub is compatible with devices that support USB 3.0. The ports are configured as USB 3.0 Type-A sockets, enabling connection with standard USB 3.0 plugs. Power supply via the adapter allows the use of devices with higher power requirements, such as external hard drives or USB network cards. No additional accessories or adapters are required to operate the hub.

Mounting and installation
Installation is performed by simply connecting the hub to a USB port on the computer. The integrated power adapter is connected to a power outlet to ensure reliable power supply. The ports are directly accessible, with no additional mounting or fastening elements required. The hub can be placed on a flat surface such as a desk. Dimensions are length/depth 110 mm and height 12 mm, making it compact and space-saving.

Advantages in operation
Simultaneous use of seven USB devices simplifies workstation organization. The high data transfer rate ensures efficient operation, especially for data-intensive tasks. The aluminium housing provides good heat dissipation and contributes to the device’s longevity. The integrated power supply prevents power shortages that can occur when using multiple devices via a single USB port. The device is designed for use in office and home environments and complies with category 6 of the ElektroG, meaning disposal must follow WEEE regulations.
