TP-Link UH400 USB 3.0 4-Port Portable Hub

The TP-Link UH400 is a compact USB 3.0 hub designed to expand a computer's connectivity with four additional USB ports. It provides a convenient way to connect multiple USB peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards, mice, printers, cameras, and other compatible accessories through a single USB connection. Its portable design makes it particularly useful for laptops and compact workstations where available USB ports may be limited.

With four USB 3.0 Type-A output ports, the UH400 supports data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, which TP-Link describes as up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This higher interface speed is useful when transferring files between a computer and compatible USB storage devices or when using multiple USB peripherals. Actual transfer performance depends on the connected computer, peripherals, and their respective configurations.

The hub uses a USB 3.0 Type-A input connector and features a built-in cable for a straightforward connection to a compatible computer. Its foldable cable design helps keep the cable neatly stored when the hub is being transported, while the connector can be tucked into the hub to reduce the chance of the exposed metal connector scratching a laptop or other equipment.

Designed with portability in mind, the UH400 measures just 71 × 71 × 16.6mm. Its compact footprint makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag, backpack, or travel pouch without taking up significant space. The hub also uses a sturdy ABS housing and a reinforced PVC cable jacket for added durability during everyday use.

The TP-Link UH400 is designed for driver-free installation on supported systems, allowing users to connect the hub and begin using compatible USB peripherals without installing additional drivers. TP-Link lists support for Windows, Mac OS X/macOS, and Linux systems, with newer documentation also listing Chrome OS support. Compatibility can vary by hardware version and operating system, so users should verify the appropriate version-specific information when necessary.

The hub is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, allowing it to work with older compatible USB peripherals while providing USB 3.0 connectivity for newer devices. This makes the UH400 a versatile accessory for expanding connectivity across a range of computers and USB equipment.

Whether you're adding extra USB ports to a laptop, connecting several peripherals to a desktop computer, or looking for a compact hub for travel, the TP-Link UH400 USB 3.0 4-Port Portable Hub provides a simple and portable solution with four USB 3.0 ports, up to 5Gbps interface speed, a foldable built-in cable, and broad operating-system compatibility.
