Official Raspberry Pi USB 3.0 Hub

This hub expands a single USB-A port into four USB 3.0 downstream ports, enabling connection of multiple peripherals to your Raspberry Pi. It supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, making it ideal for high-bandwidth devices and improving workflow efficiency.

For low-power devices, external power is not strictly necessary. However, for high-power peripherals such as HDDs or SSDs, an optional USB-C power input (5V @ 3A, power supply sold separately) is available to ensure stable operation and reliable data transfer.

The hub is designed for optimal compatibility with all Raspberry Pi products via a USB 3 Type-A host port. It is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, allowing for versatile use across various host devices and ensuring broad system integration possibilities.

The Official Raspberry Pi USB 3.0 Hub supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0, providing data transfer rates of up to 5 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This ensures fast and efficient communication with high-bandwidth peripherals, minimizing latency for demanding applications.

While the hub provides power to connected devices, its primary function is data transfer and peripheral connectivity. The optional USB-C power input allows for increased current delivery to power high-consumption devices, but it's not designed as a dedicated fast-charging station for mobile devices.
