Tripp Lite's U360-412 USB 3.0 Charging Hub plugs into a computer's USB 3.0 port and provides two USB 3.0 Super-Speed peripheral ports, four USB 2.0 High-Speed peripheral ports, and one charging port for charging tablets such as an iPad. Two of the USB 2.0 ports have convenient top plugging, for thumb drive access. Dedicated charging port supplies the extra amperage needed to charge tablets, which most USB hubs do not include. Plug-and-Play... no software or drivers required. Automatically switches to the highest speed supported by the peripheral. Windows and Mac compatible.
