The Plugable Bus-Powered 4-Port Rotating USB 3.0 Hub (USB3-HUB4R) is a portable USB 3.0 travel hub that enables connecting four low-power USB 3.0 devices on a single USB 3.0 port. The hub features a unique 180 degree rotating USB connector to allow convenient placement on a variety of host computers like laptops, tablets, or 2-in-1s. As a bus-powered hub, it's great for USB devices with low power draw like wired keyboards and mice, flash drives, and card readers.

USB devices which have higher power draw such as bus-powered hard drives and CD/DVD drives are not recommended for use with this hub. 2.4GHz wireless devices, such as wireless keyboard/mouse receivers, Bluetooth adapters, and WiFi adapters, may not work in close proximity to USB 3.0 devices or hubs. Connecting wireless devices to a USB 2.0 port is recommended for best results.

The unique rotating design allows the hub to be positioned in numerous ways and is able to work with a large number of laptops and tablets that may have their built-in USB ports in inconvenient locations. With 180 degrees of rotation the hub can fit just about any situation.
