Acer ACER-UH501 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub

The Acer ACER-UH501 USB hub adds four USB-A data ports to a compatible USB-A host connection. A USB-C input marked IN 5V is for supplying power to the hub, not data transfer or charging devices, so this suits peripheral expansion rather than a charging dock.

Compact listed dimensions and a 45 g listed weight suit a portable setup.

The listing warns against connecting two hard drives simultaneously because their combined power demand may cause disconnection.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about its configuration: the title and feature text describe four USB-A ports plus a USB-C power input, while the product-description heading calls it a 5-in-1 hub. It also gives differing dimensions and weight, and operating-system details vary between sections. Check the selected listing and host-port compatibility. The USB-C port is input-only, supports standard 5V input, and must not be used with fast-charging or PD adapters. The listing says USB 2.0 host connections limit transfer to 480 Mbps and warns against two hard drives at once.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Laptop or desktop users who need extra USB-A ports for keyboards, mice, flash drives or similar peripherals.
Buyers seeking a small hub for data peripherals and who understand that the USB-C port supplies hub power only.

Less suited to

Anyone needing USB-C data, device charging output, video output or a full-featured USB-C dock.
Setups that require two hard drives to run from the hub simultaneously.
