Product description
7-Port USB 3.0 Hub With Two Powerful 1.5A Charging Port
The Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub with 36W Power Adapter (USB3-HUB7C) expands USB connectivity by enabling up to seven USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 devices to be added to any USB 3.0 or 2.0 capable desktop, laptop, or tablet computer. Supporting standard USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5Gbps (640MBps) to allow data to move quickly between devices, ideal for high-throughput devices such as USB external hard drives, flash drives, and USB graphics adapters.
In addition to the higher-wattage power adapter, this 7-port hub also includes 2 features our customers have repeatedly requested most USB 3.0 hubs don't offer: A fingerprint-resistant matte finish, and a physical on/off power switch to control power to the hub.
7 Ports of Connectivity
On average, most computers have 3 USB ports. With so many devices we depend on daily, that's just not enough. All seven ports are lined up front-and-center for easy access, with the power connection and host USB cable facing rearward to reduce cable clutter.
Per-port LED status lights on the top of the hub indicate a successful connection between the device and the host computer.

Data Sync and USB Charging
In addition to standard data transfer and sync, this hub expands on the capabilities of regular USB 3.0 hubs, providing extra power on each edge port (ports 1 & 7). It's a no-compromise solution for gaining extra USB ports and providing power to mobile devices.
Standard USB 3.0 ports only provide 900mA for connected devices. The two edge ports are great for power-hungry devices, providing up to 1.5A with special charging signals that enable supporting devices to charge at a much faster rate.
