Vention 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub 0.15M Black (CHKBB)
The Vention 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub (CHKBB) plugs into a single USB 3.0 Type-A port and expands it into four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, so a laptop or desktop with limited USB ports can connect a keyboard, mouse, flash drive, and external drive all at once. Because it transfers data at up to 5Gbps, roughly 10 times faster than USB 2.0, it handles quick file transfers to and from external drives without becoming a bottleneck. It’s also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, running them at their own lower speeds when connected.
Because it houses a GL3510 controller chipset, it manages data across all four ports through dedicated processing. Its tinned copper conductors at 32AWG+26AWG, with aluminum foil and metal braid shielding, keep interference low along the short cable, and a nickel-plated interface with an ABS shell resists corrosion and wear, tested to a 10,000+ bend lifespan. The hub runs on bus power for everyday use, with an optional Micro-USB port for external power when running power-hungry devices, and a built-in LED indicator shows activity at a glance. As a result, it suits anyone who needs more USB 3.0 ports than their computer provides, without sacrificing transfer speed.
Key Features
In short, this hub stands out in five areas:
- 4x USB 3.0 ports from a single USB connection, expanding a laptop or desktop’s available ports for keyboards, mice, and drives
- Up to 5Gbps data transfer, about 10 times faster than USB 2.0, for quick file transfers to external drives
- GL3510 controller chipset, managing data across all four ports through dedicated processing
- Tinned copper conductors with aluminum foil and metal braid shielding, which keep interference low along the cable
- Nickel-plated interface with a 10,000+ bend-tested ABS shell, adding durability and corrosion resistance over daily use

Who This Hub Is Best Suited For
As a result of this combination of specs, three types of users benefit most:
- Laptop users with limited USB ports, who need to connect a keyboard, mouse, and flash drive all at once from a single port
- Anyone transferring files to external drives regularly, since 5Gbps speeds keep large transfers quick rather than bottlenecked at USB 2.0 speeds
- Desk setups running several low-power peripherals, where a compact bus-powered hub is more practical than a full powered hub with a bulky adapter
