Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 5m USB 3.0 Hub is designed for users who need to extend their USB connectivity by an additional 5 meters, allowing for greater flexibility in device placement. It offers four SuperSpeed USB ports (two Type-A and two Type-C) for connecting peripherals like storage devices, printers, or webcams. While it's USB bus-powered for convenience, it includes a DC input for optional external power, which is crucial for high-power devices. The primary caveat is the need for an external power supply for certain peripherals, which is not included.

Do I need an external power supply?

What type of power adapter should I use if I need external power?

What is the total length of the cable extension?

Troubleshooting

USB devices are not recognized or are disconnecting intermittently.

Ensure the hub is connected to a powered USB port on your computer. For high-power devices, connect an external 5VDC power supply (not included) to the DC-in jack on the hub.

Slow data transfer speeds.

Verify that both the hub and your connected device support USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 speeds. Ensure you are using compatible USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 cables. Check for potential bottlenecks with other connected devices.

The hub is not detected by the computer.

Try connecting the hub to a different USB port on your computer. Restart your computer with the hub connected. Ensure no drivers are conflicting (though the hub is Plug and Play).

USB Type-C devices are not working correctly.

Confirm that the USB Type-C device itself is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 standards. Ensure sufficient power is supplied to the hub, especially if using external power.
