Product details
The GL015 Type-C is a compact, bus-powered hub that brings USB expansion and Fast Ethernet connectivity to modern laptops and devices with a USB Type-C port. It addresses the increasing prevalence of Type-C-only devices by adding back the wired LAN port and USB Type-A connectivity that many users rely on for daily productivity.
Connecting through a USB Type-C host port, the GL015 Type-C provides three USB 2.0 data ports for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, USB drives, and card readers. USB 2.0 at 480Mbps is fully capable for these use cases, making the hub a practical choice for standard office and educational environments where high-speed USB 3.0 is not a priority.
The integrated RJ45 port provides Fast Ethernet at up to 100Mbps ? stable, reliable wired connectivity suitable for web browsing, email, video conferencing at standard quality, and typical business application access. In environments where Gigabit infrastructure is not available, 100Mbps wired LAN still significantly outperforms shared Wi-Fi in consistency and latency.
The hub is plug-and-play, requiring no driver installation on most modern operating systems including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It draws operating power entirely from the host USB Type-C connection, eliminating the need for a separate power brick and keeping the workspace or travel kit uncluttered.
The GL015 Type-C is particularly well-suited for users of Chromebooks, budget ultrabooks, and other thin-and-light devices that ship without USB-A ports or a dedicated LAN port. It brings multi-device connectivity and wired networking to these machines with no configuration overhead.
Compact and lightweight, the GL015 Type-C can be carried in a laptop pouch or tucked into a bag alongside daily carry gear. It is a straightforward, cost-effective connectivity upgrade for any Type-C device user who needs reliable wired internet access and extra USB ports without added complexity.
