StarTech.com Charging Station

This USB 3.0 hub with mobile device stand expands the connectivity of your laptop or tablet. It's suitable for computers, Windows-based tablets, and some On-The-Go-enabled Android devices (when combined with a separate OTG adapter). Now you can connect useful peripherals, such as a keyboard or external hard drive, to your tablet.

You can also quickly charge a separate mobile device using the integrated quick-charging port.

Robust construction for comfort and reliability

Unlike most desktop USB 3.0 hubs, this one features a sturdy, high-quality casing. And its weight means it stays in place when you connect or disconnect devices. This saves you the frustration of your hub sliding across your desk every time you touch it.

Thanks to the stand, the hub is ideal for mobile devices

This space-saving USB 3.0 hub allows ergonomic access to your smartphone or tablet thanks to its integrated folding stand. The foldable stand, made of solid aluminum, features a convenient cable opening, allowing you to quickly set up your host mobile device with neatly organized cables.

You can fold the stand away when not in use, and its weight means there's little risk of it tipping over, even with larger tablets.

Extends USB connectivity

You can overcome the limited connectivity options of Android-based tablets and smartphones by combining this hub with a simple [%product id="UUSBOTG" text="Micro USB to USB OTG adapter"%] (SKU: UUSBOTG - sold separately). With the adapter, the ST4300U3C1B functions as an OTG hub, allowing you to connect USB devices to your mobile device.

The hub is also natively supported by many Windows-based tablets with a USB-A port.

Alternatively, this small hub can be used as a traditional USB 3.0 hub, allowing you to expand connectivity while maintaining backward compatibility for USB 2.0 and 1.x devices.

Charges your smartphone or tablet quickly

Your mobile device can be charged faster using the 2.1A combination fast charge or data port. You can connect a mobile device either as a host or fast charge, depending on whether you connect it to the corresponding fast charge or host port.

Devices that do not charge via USB (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro 4) can be inserted and connected as a host and simultaneously charged via their own charging mechanism.
