10 Port USB 3.0 Aluminum Hub

The Juiced Systems 10 Port USB 3.0 Aluminum Hub is a powered desktop hub built for workstations that routinely run out of ports. Nine SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data ports deliver 5 Gbps per channel, a tenth dedicated smart-charging port handles high-draw peripherals, and the included 12V 4A external power supply keeps every connected device stable — no brownouts, no dropped drives.

Specifications

Key Features

• Nine independent SuperSpeed ports — each rated at 5 Gbps, suitable for external SSDs, NVMe enclosures, DAC/audio interfaces, and high-resolution webcams.
• Dedicated smart charging port — automatically negotiates the correct charging profile for phones and tablets without stealing bandwidth from the data channels.
• Properly powered 12V 4A PSU — unlike bus-powered hubs, this unit supplies full current to every port, preventing drive spin-down and disconnect loops under load.
• Precision aluminum chassis — dissipates heat passively and stays silent; no internal fans.
• Per-port status LEDs — instantly see which port is active and diagnose connection issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this hub power a bus-powered external hard drive?
Yes. The 12V 4A external PSU provides enough current to run multiple spinning 2.5" drives or bus-powered SSDs simultaneously.

Can I use this with a MacBook that only has USB-C?
Yes — pair it with any quality USB-C to USB-A adapter or cable to connect the host side. All 10 ports will function normally.

Is the smart charging port also a data port?
No. Port 10 is dedicated to charging and follows BC 1.2 to negotiate the correct amperage for phones and tablets.

Does it get hot?
The aluminum chassis is designed as a passive heatsink. Under normal workloads it stays warm but never hot; there is no internal fan.
