StarTech.com 2 Port USB 3.2 USB C Hub, USB Powered 0.7 in 5in

This USB‑C hub connects devices to a host system via a USB link while providing network and peripheral expansion for industrial and lab environments. It supports high-speed USB data transfer and integrates wired networking features to suit automation, electronics and mechanical workflows where compact, bus-powered connectivity is required.

• Two USB ports providing expanded peripheral connections for test equipment
• USB 3.2 throughput enabling fast data transfer between instruments
• Gigabit Ethernet support using 802.3ab for high-bandwidth network access
• VLAN tagging 802.1q enabling segmented network traffic for secure testing
• Layer-2 priority 802.1p for traffic prioritisation in time-sensitive applications
• Energy-Efficient Ethernet 802.3az reducing link power during idle periods

• Suitable for connecting measurement rigs to a wired LAN for data collection
• Ideal for office-to-lab file transfer between workstations and instruments
• Used with field devices requiring priority traffic on industrial networks
• Can be used for laptop access to gigabit networks on test benches

It draws power directly from the host USB connection, so no external supply is required.

It implements IEEE 802.3u and 802.3x flow-control methods to manage packet buffering and prevent congestion.

Yes, it incorporates Energy-Efficient Ethernet using 802.3az to lower power when the network link is underutilised.

The unit has a slim profile measuring 5 in in width and 0.7 in in height for easy integration into cramped setups.
