DEVIA Leopard Series 5-in-1 USB-C Hub (Dark Grey) (EC701)

Description

The DEVIA Leopard Series 5-in-1 USB-C Hub (manufacturer reference EC701) in a dark grey finish is a technical-grade network and peripheral connectivity adapter, specifically configured for network administrators, maintenance technicians, workshop diagnostic stations, and B2B resale. Designed to offer total flexibility, this multiport hub solves the problem of the lack of a wired Ethernet port and restricted connectivity on modern computers as well as older generation workstations.

In terms of hardware engineering, the specificity of this version of the Leopard Series range lies in its hybrid input connector: its main USB-C cable incorporates a captive USB-A to USB 3.0 protocol adapter. This universal design gains instant compatibility with recent laptops (MacBook, Ultrabooks) as well as workshop desktop PCs lacking USB-C ports. At the end of the chassis, a network controller manages a stable RJ45 Ethernet port, perfect for flashing procedures, server configuration, or massive firmware downloads protected from the dropouts inherent to Wi-Fi.

The side panel of the hub deploys a versatile interface: a high-speed USB 3.0 port (identifiable by its blue key) for boot drives or backup disks, supported by a standard USB port for input peripherals (keyboard, mouse, dongles). The innovation of this model also relies on its two dedicated USB-C ports: the first is optimised for data and USB-C headset management (USB-C marking), while the second acts as an auxiliary power input (DC 5V marking) to ensure the electrical stability of the hub during the simultaneous use of heavy peripherals.
