By connecting just one cable to your computer, you instantly gain four additional USB ports, allowing you to connect a mouse, keyboard, external hard drive, and a printer or card reader simultaneously. It is specifically designed to support both the latest high-speed USB 3.0 standard for fast data transfers and the ubiquitous USB 2.0 standard for older peripherals. The hub requires separate power via its Micro USB port to ensure all connected devices receive stable power, preventing data errors or disconnections. Its small footprint and range of cable lengths make it a practical solution for decluttering any workspace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black USB expansion dock with 4 ports and a Micro USB power input on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US13\/769\/2025-10-04\/original-image\/1737245563875.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expansion dock is built around core functionality and a robust physical design to provide reliable daily use in home, office, or on-the-go scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hub's casing is made from ABS plastic, a material frequently chosen for consumer electronics for its good balance of strength, light weight, and cost-effectiveness. The black finish offers a neutral look that fits with most computer setups. The construction is focused on housing the internal circuitry securely while providing clear, labelled ports for easy connection. The use of a separate Micro USB power input is a key design element, allowing the hub to draw additional power beyond what the host computer's USB port can supply, which is essential for running several bus-powered devices like external hard drives without issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith dimensions of 100mm by 50mm by 31mm, the hub has a minimal footprint that sits neatly on a desk without occupying valuable space. It can easily be positioned next to a laptop or tucked behind a monitor. The available cable length options—0.15m, 0.25m, 0.5m, 1m, and 1.5m—provide significant flexibility. A shorter cable keeps the setup tidy for a laptop bag, while a longer one allows for placement further away from the computer, perhaps routed through a cable management tray. This choice lets users tailor the hub's placement to their specific desk ergonomics and cable routing preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black USB expansion dock with 4 ports and a Micro USB power input on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US13\/769\/2025-10-04\/original-image\/4558527078925.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hub's design supports a wide variety of connection needs, from simple home office setups to more demanding digital workstations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor professionals or at events, this hub can turn a laptop with limited ports into a full workstation. Photographers can connect a card reader, external backup drive, and a tablet for client previews. Presenters can have a clicker, a USB drive with presentation files, and an audio interface connected simultaneously. The guaranteed operation within a temperature range of -20°C to +55°C and humidity from 20% to 85% RH means it can be relied upon in various environments, though it is not designed for prolonged extreme conditions. The separate power input ensures reliability when using multiple high-demand devices in these scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt home, the hub simplifies connecting all the peripherals for a family computer. It allows a wired keyboard and mouse to remain plugged in alongside a webcam for video calls, a flash drive for file sharing, and a smartphone charging cable. The mix of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports means older devices like certain printers or speakers continue to work while newer external SSDs can benefit from faster transfer speeds. Its unassuming black design blends into a home office or entertainment centre without drawing attention, functioning purely as a practical connectivity tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black USB expansion dock with 4 ports and a Micro USB power input on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US13\/769\/2025-10-04\/original-image\/544420210980.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe value of this product lies in its straightforward expansion capability, build quality suited to its purpose, and the flexibility offered by its cable options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed from ABS plastic, the hub is built for longevity in normal use. There are no moving parts to wear out, and the electronics are housed in a protective shell. Maintenance is minimal; keeping the ports free of dust and avoiding physical impacts are the primary care needs. Its design ensures it remains useful across multiple computer upgrades, as the USB standard is backward compatible. The hub itself requires no software, drivers, or complex setup, making it a 'plug-and-play' accessory that can be quickly deployed whenever and wherever extra ports are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hub is chosen for its clear specification: four ports with distinct USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 support, a powered design for stability, and a range of cable lengths. It avoids unnecessary features, focusing instead on reliable port expansion. The stated dimensions and material tell you exactly how it will fit on your desk and what it is made of. When compared generically to hubs without dedicated power inputs or with fewer ports, its advantage is the ability to reliably support more active devices at once. The choice of cable length is a direct practical benefit, allowing you to avoid the clutter of excess cable or the limitation of one that is too short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black USB expansion dock with 4 ports and a Micro USB power input on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US13\/769\/2025-10-04\/original-image\/61690904686.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black USB expansion dock with 4 ports and a Micro USB power input on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US13\/769\/2025-10-04\/original-image\/6201660049399.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"test3331ibrotbvmj","offers":[{"title":"Black USB3.0 \/ 1m","offer_id":54019600023893,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB3.0-1m","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB2.0 \/ 1m","offer_id":54019600056661,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB2.0-1m","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB2.0 \/ 0.15m","offer_id":54019600089429,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB2.0-0.15m","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB3.0 \/ 1.5m","offer_id":54019600122197,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB3.0-1.5m","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"BlackUSB3.0 \/ 0.25m","offer_id":54019600154965,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-BlackUSB3.0-0.25m","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB3.0 \/ 0.15m","offer_id":54019600187733,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB3.0-0.15m","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB3.0 \/ 0.5m","offer_id":54019600220501,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB3.0-0.5m","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB2.0 \/ 1.5m","offer_id":54019600253269,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB2.0-1.5m","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB2.0 \/ 0.5m","offer_id":54019600286037,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB2.0-0.5m","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black USB2.0 \/ 0.25m","offer_id":54019600318805,"sku":"CJSJSJSJ01490-Black USB2.0-0.25m","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/3772\/6037\/files\/4558527078925.webp?v=1779905518","url":"https:\/\/uyaepx-vd.myshopify.com\/products\/usb-computer-multi-interface-expansion-dock-with-4-ports-including-usb-3-0-and-usb-2-0-made-from-abs-plastic-measuring-100mm-x-50mm-x-31mm-in-black-with-micro-usb-power-input-for-laptops-and-desktops","provider":"OmniPicks.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
