UGREEN USB-C to 7-Port USB-A 3.0 Hub (with 12V DC Power) – CM481

The UGREEN CM481 is a high-capacity, professional-grade hub designed for users who need to connect multiple high-power peripherals to a single USB-C port. By including an external 12V DC power supply, this hub overcomes the power limitations of standard bus-powered hubs, ensuring stable performance for devices that require extra juice, such as external hard drives, high-resolution webcams, and specialized studio hardware.

 UGREEN CM481 Key Product Features

• 7x USB 3.0 Ports: Instantly expand your device’s connectivity with seven dedicated USB-A 3.0 ports, allowing you to manage a full suite of office or creative peripherals simultaneously.

• External Power Supply (12V DC): The included power adapter provides stable, reliable power to all connected devices. This is essential for preventing connection drops that occur when multiple power-hungry devices (like SSDs or RGB keyboards) are plugged in at once.

• High-Speed Data (5Gbps): Built on the USB 3.0 standard, each port supports data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, making it fast enough for rapid file transfers, media backups, and high-performance workflow devices.

• Individual Power Control: Each port features its own independent LED power switch, allowing you to turn off individual peripherals without unplugging them, which helps save power and reduces wear and tear on your ports.

• Professional Reliability: Designed with built-in protection against over-voltage, over-current, and short circuits, safeguarding your expensive workstation equipment from power surges.

 UGREEN CM481 Pros and Cons

Pros

• Unmatched Power Stability: The external power source eliminates “insufficient power” errors, making it perfect for connecting multiple external drives or high-draw peripherals.

• Convenient Management: The individual switches for each port are a major advantage for managing complex setups where you don’t need all devices active at the same time.

• Broad Compatibility: Works flawlessly with a wide range of devices, from modern MacBooks and Windows ultrabooks to iPads with USB-C ports.

Cons

• Requires AC Outlet: Because it uses an external power brick, it is less “portable” than compact, bus-powered hubs and requires a desk outlet nearby.

• Port Type: It provides USB-A outputs only; if you have USB-C peripherals, you will need separate USB-C to USB-A cables for them.
