Introduction: One Hub. Unlimited Productivity.
In today’s digital age, laptop and device manufacturers are increasingly reducing the number of ports available in favor of thinner, sleeker designs. Whether you’re working from home, studying, gaming, or managing digital content, having only one or two USB ports limits what you can achieve.
That’s where the UGREEN USB-C & USB-A 3.0 to 4-Port Hub – CR113 comes in. This intelligently designed 4-port USB hub is built to expand your connectivity, no matter what device you’re using.
With support for both USB-C and USB-A hosts, it provides 4 high-speed USB 3.0 ports, 5Gbps data transmission, and a durable 1-meter cable that gives you extended reach without cluttering your workspace.
Available now at Phonex Technologies Kenya, this hub is a practical investment for students, professionals, content creators, gamers, and tech enthusiasts who demand more from their devices.
The Connectivity Problem: Solved
Modern laptops and tablets come with fewer USB ports than ever before. Ultrabooks, MacBooks, Chromebooks, and many Android tablets often feature just a single USB-C port. This minimalism sacrifices the ability to connect:
-
Flash drives and external hard drives
-
USB keyboards and mice
-
Printers and scanners
-
Game controllers
-
Card readers, webcams, or microphones
The UGREEN CR113 solves this by converting one USB port into four, with support for simultaneous connection and high-speed data transmission.
Dual Interface: USB-C and USB-A in One Cable
This hub is uniquely designed with dual-input support, meaning it features both:
-
A USB-C connector
-
A USB-A connector
This allows you to plug into any USB-C or traditional USB-A laptop, desktop, or tablet. No need for an adapter or two separate hubs.
Benefits include:
-
Seamless transition between new and older devices
-
Compatible with both modern USB-C ultrabooks and traditional PCs
-
Ideal for multi-device households or mixed tech environments
-
Simplifies work-from-home and hybrid setups
4 × USB 3.0 Ports – High-Speed Expansion
With 4 USB 3.0 Type-A ports, the CR113 provides true plug-and-play expansion with 5Gbps transfer speed. That’s roughly 10x faster than standard USB 2.0.
You can:
-
Transfer HD videos, large documents, or photo albums in seconds
-
Run multiple external drives or SSDs without lag
-
Connect webcams, microphones, or audio interfaces
-
Simultaneously charge accessories like phones or earbuds (bus-powered)
-
Stream video content directly from external devices
No drivers are required. It’s fully plug-and-play.
1 Meter Cable – Built for Real-World Use
Most USB hubs on the market come with a very short cable, often under 30cm. This limits your flexibility and creates desk clutter.
The UGREEN CR113 offers a 1-meter cable, giving you:
-
Freedom to place your hub where it’s convenient
-
The ability to mount the hub under or behind your desk
-
Better reach for setups involving desktops or wall-mounted monitors
-
Cleaner, more ergonomic workstations or entertainment setups
This added flexibility makes it ideal for both portable use and permanent setups.
Compact and Portable Design
Despite its extended cable and four ports, the hub maintains a slim, lightweight profile that fits easily into any laptop bag or backpack. The sleek black ABS body is:
-
Scratch-resistant
-
Lightweight
-
Heat-resistant
-
Durable under daily use
Whether you’re on the move or stationed at your desk, it’s built to keep up with your lifestyle.
