Using one of your device's USB ports, the Manhattan 3-Port USB 3.0 Type-C/A Combo Hub with Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter adds wired internet connectivity to your laptop in places where Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable. It also gives you three USB-A ports to easily connect a keyboard, mouse, flash drive and more. Devices that fit the USB 3.2 Gen 1 spec (formerly known as USB 3.0) can reach transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps for external storage, printing and more. The hub's SuperSpeed ports are backward compatible with older USB versions 2.0 or even 1.1. You can also charge your phone or tablet since the hub supplies up to 5 V / 0.9 A of power.
