Orico 4x USB-A port, USB 3.0 (5Gbps) hub with 1m USB-A to USB-A cable. Includes blue LED and "phone stand". Note this hub is unpowered, so passthrough power only.

I recently bought a similar Orico hub and, if it uses the same USB chipset, there's a 15-17% overhead on high-speed data transfers ( ~500-600MB/s - eg portable SSDs) from my testing. Slower transfers (~200MB/s - eg external HDDs) don't have any issues.

Normal price $27.99. Historical low $21.99. CamelCamelCamel

  I wonder if a usb A to C cable would work with this

    Should work. I've got a USB-C device plugged into my other Orico hub with a USB-A to USB-C cable.

      I mean instead of the A to A cable. To connect it to a computer or something

    Nothing "illegal" about using USB-A to USB-A.

      Yes there is, hubs are supposed to use B for upstream connection to host.

        It's in the USB 3.0 Specification which you can find here at 5.5.2 or page 108 by the PDF reader's count
        It's also in the USB 3.2 specifcation from 2022 but there's less info, it's just listed alongside other defined connectors and cables under Table 5-2 on page 81 by the PDF reader's count.

        As far as i can tell the standard in the 3.0 specification requires there to be no connection on the PWR, UTP_D- and UTP_D+ wires which I think means there's not supposed to be any power delivered over an A to A cable which might be where you're getting the idea that it's illegal. But i have no idea.
