When USB-C was introduced, we were really happy, after all, the new connector was announced with the promise of being reversible. But the standard goes much further than that: USB-C can not only replace all previous USB connectors but also work in conjunction with other data transfer technologies. How great, no? But this feature also has the potential to confuse, at least initially.

On computers, USB connections have USB ports, USB 3 connections have USB 3 ports, HDMI connections have HDMI ports, and so on. Eventually, some standards get mixed up (HDMI with DisplayPort, for example), but as a rule, the industry prefers to put every monkey in its own right.

That story is starting to change with USB-C. The standard was developed to be user-friendly and, at the same time, technically comprehensive to support various types of applications.

Since Apple removed the standard ports from its MacBooks, other companies have also followed suit. You might be working with a laptop PC that has replaced those precious ports with USB-C. And while USB-C is great, many peripherals still use the standard USB-A format. Of course, the solution to that is a great MacBook Pro standing dock, and the Lention 6-in-1 hub is a great choice to consider if you are planning to buy a dock for your PC or laptop.

Lention's USB C hub with multiple USB C ports with USB-C cable attached typically costs cheap and brings the price to a much more reasonable compared to other hubs on the market. It offers one of the best deals for all types of accessories including a MacBook case and USB hub with a long cable.

What is a USB C hub with multiple USB C ports? 

Before Apple removed the standard ports from its laptops, it was great – you didn't need anything extra to use your peripherals and other favorite accessories like external hard drives and cameras. But you know how it is - when Apple does something, other companies tend to follow suit. So now it's all about a USB C hub with multiple USB C ports. So, if you're already looking for one, why not buy the Lention 6-in-1 USB-C hub with a USB-C cable attached? After all, it's now at the cheapest prices on lention.com.

Hub, also known as a concentrator, is a piece of equipment used in the field of computing to connect computers on a network and enable the transmission of information between these machines. This term is also used in radio and telecommunications, and in open television and radio, it refers to the transmission and diffusion of certain information, with the main characteristic being the transmission to many receivers at the same time.

The MacBook Pro standing dock is one of the first devices used by companies that wanted to exchange information within a local network. It is connected to LAN, MAN, WAN, and TAN networks and has an IP address to allow information to travel through these connections. The standard used for this is the RFC (Request for Comments).

One of the applications of the USB 3.0 hub with long cable is in controlling the data traffic of several networks. When a computer connected to the network transmits information to the hub, it must be idle, because the data packet is returned to the requesting computer with a waiting request, until the transmission of information being carried out by the hub finish.

This is the big weakness of the hub, because in addition to not being able to forward several data packets at once, it addresses them to all interconnected machines, creating a serious security problem.

The way the hub works is easier compared to the switch and router. It has several ports for connecting the network cables of each computer. On most models, there are between 8 and 32 ports for connection, depending on the manufacturer and model. The device even allows another USB hub with long cable to be added to it to increase the number of available ports.

Although their way of working is obsolete and dangers are arising from their use, hubs are used in many homes and small networks. For it to work without major problems, it is ideal that as few machines as possible are connected.

What is there in the USB hub with a long cable?

With this 6-in-1 hub, you get one USB-A 3.0, one USB-A 2.0, one USB-C, one HDMI port, Gigabit Ethernet, and an SD card reader. That should be enough to let you plug in your favorite keyboard, mouse, hard drives, projectors, monitors, SD cards, and more.
