4 Port Aluminum Desk USB 3.0 Hub with Clamp Design for Desktop, PC, Table Edge with Adjustable Clip

I originally bought this item to mount on a portable adjustable desk I made at home for my laptop. I ended up removing it from that desk and taking it to work because I needed more USB ports at work and ordered a second one. The second one ended up on my desktop desk because I was tired of reaching behind my computer to plug and unplug items and I could mount it in a more convenient location on that desk. It is concealed under the desk in an easy to reach location along the lower desk support. I just ordered a third one to mount to my portable laptop desk.These are great because mounting them means they don't slide around or hang off the side of your computer like hubs that cannot be mounted. The hub sliding off the desk because of extra weight from having several devices plugged in is no longer an issue. Accidently unplugging the whole port because you were too far away with a device is also no longer a problem.The clamping mount design is nice because it provides stability, but also doesn't require drilling any holes and can be easily moved to a different location as many times as you want. If you don't like where you originally decided to put it, you can just loosen the screw and move it somewhere else.Just one little heads up for anyone thinking of buying this item:The rubber stopper easily unscrews from the end of the mounting screw and can fall off when attempting to move the hub to a new location. I didn't like the initial place I had it mounted on my desk at work and when I decided to move it to a different spot, that rubber stopper unscrewed first and fell off when I was removing the hub falling onto the floor and rolling under the shelf at the bottom of my desk. It took a while to find it and get it back out from under there. At home, the stopper also fell off first and rolled across the floor when I was moving the hub. It is easy to put back on once you find it, but if you plan on mounting the hub in a tight space, be aware if you ever plan to move it, the rubber stopper could fall into a gap that might be a pain to access.

Este dispositivo me facilitó no solo agrupar los conectores USB del teclado y el mouse y es enfriador del portátil, sino que por su diseño lo pude ubicar en la parte trasera del escritorio de modo que no ocupe espacio de trabajo, pero sin quedar fuera de alcance facilitando la conexion de almacenamientos USB o de mi nuevo micrófono.Producto recomendado.

I have a 24” monitor with a micro-edge display on 3 sides where there’s no bezel to mount this on, and I wasn’t going to clamp it against the screen. There is a ¾” high frame along the bottom side of the screen, but the back of the monitor behind this area is convex, and the clamp can’t be mounted to an area where the back of the monitor is rounded. I purchased this because I could mount it directly in front of me, so I didn’t want to clamp it to the edge of the desk after I discovered it couldn’t be attached to my monitor.So I clamped it to a 3.25” x .4” x .5” piece of wood that I screwed to the underside of a shelf that’s located right above the top of the monitor. I’m glad I couldn’t attach it to my monitor because this turned out to be a much better option. The ports on this hub are snug, and if it was mounted to my monitor, I know I’d have to hold the monitor steady to prevent it from moving every time I attached and removed devices from the hub. I’d also be concerned about damaging my expensive ultra-thin monitor because it takes a fair amount of force to insert and remove devices from these snug ports.By clamping it to a piece of wood that I screwed to the underside of the shelf, it’s firmly mounted, it doesn’t budge, it’s directly in front of me, I only need one hand to plug devices into the ports and pull them out, and I don’t have to be careful or worry about the force being placed on my little block of wood.The entire hub is housed in metal, and it appears solid and well made. I purchased this 15 months ago and thus far it has performed flawlessly.

We've purchased a dozen or so of these and the device is great for USB 3 OTP standard. The only thing that bugs me is that the included M-M cable (to connect the back of the hub to the PC) is only 3' long. We run into situations fairly frequently where the PC is more than 3' away and have to purchase a separate cable. Given the nature of the device, it seems like a 6' cable would be more appropriate. Otherwise, great unit. Sturdy and the clamp is solid.

I've had too many problems from USB hubs losing connection to the computer, causing big headaches with file corruption. When I saw this hub I decided it was worth a try.The problem with the other hubs is that they tend to flop around. When anything wiggles the USB cord the connection is broken momentarily, but that's enough to cause problems. This hub is different in that it clamps onto something, in my case a table top. This makes wiggling cable failures a thing of the past! Since starting to use this hub I have had almost no problems with lost connections between the computer and the peripherals plugged into the hub. I'm REALLY glad I got this USB hub! It has cured almost all of the problems I've been running into! 5 stars!
