Orico USB3.0/2.0 HUB 4 port - Type-C input - AH-13-GY

Orico AH-13-GY is a compact USB hub that gives you more USB ports through a single USB 3.1 Type-C input. It is suitable for laptops and ultrabooks with few ports, as well as for desktop computers where you want to bring convenient ports to the front of the desk. The combination of USB 3.0 and several USB 2.0 ports allows you to organize your peripherals according to your needs – faster devices on 3.0, less demanding ones on 2.0. You get a clean, simple, and practical way to expand your connectivity without unnecessary extras.

What you get

At its core is the USB 3.1 Type-C interface – this means you plug it directly into a modern laptop or motherboard with Type-C and immediately have access to additional ports. You have a total of four outputs: one USB 3.0 for faster file transfer to flash drives, external drives, or memory cards through a reader, plus three USB 2.0 for peripherals like a mouse, keyboard, printer, dongles for wireless devices. In practice, this way you can connect your permanent peripherals to the hub and leave the laptop to come in and out of the desk with just one Type-C cable. This reduces wear on the ports of the machine itself and simplifies your cable management.

• TYPE: USB hub – focused on one thing: to turn one input into several stable USB ports for peripherals and devices.
• INTERFACE: USB 3.1 Type-C – direct compatibility with modern laptops, phones, and motherboards that primarily rely on Type-C connectors.
• Ports: 1 x USB 3.0 – suitable for faster data transfer to external storage or more demanding USB devices.
• Ports: 3 x USB 2.0 – ideal for mouse, keyboard, printer, audio interfaces, or wireless receivers where speed is not critical.
• Manufacturer: Orico – a brand specialized in connectivity and storage accessories focused on practicality.
• Combination of USB 3.0 and 2.0 – allows you to prioritize your devices, connecting the fastest ones to the 3.0 port and the rest to 2.0.

For whom it is suitable

This hub is a sensible choice if you use a laptop with few ports and want to conveniently connect several peripheral devices through one Type-C. It is also suitable for a desktop computer when you want external USB ports on the desk for flash drives, dongles, and small peripherals. If you are looking for a hub with multiple high-speed USB 3.0/3.1 ports for massive data transfers, you will likely be limited to just one such port here.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of Type-C input and a mix of USB 3.0 and 3 x USB 2.0, which gives you the flexibility to organize your peripherals and simplify connectivity through just one cable.
