The Kensington CH1000 USB‑C 4‑Port Hub is one of those “just works” office add-ons that makes you stop thinking about your ports. For a UK reseller customer paying ~£40 ex‑VAT, you’re not really buying speed or clever features—you’re buying reliability, decent build quality, and the kind of consistency that matters in day-to-day docking situations (meetings, hot-desking, classrooms, admin teams). If you’ve got a laptop with limited USB‑C options and you want a couple of extra connections for peripherals (keyboard/mouse, dongles, accessories), it’s a sensible buy.
That said, I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re expecting workstation-grade performance or you’re trying to run anything that’s unusually power-hungry or bandwidth-sensitive through a simple hub. Also, if you need to do frequent “USB-C hub + external monitor + lots of devices” workflows, you’re usually better off looking at hubs with explicit video support and stronger docking design (because incompatibilities show up fast in the real world). Overall: worth it for typical business connectivity needs, but don’t treat it like a full docking replacement.

2 USB-C Ports
Provides ports to plug in USB-C accessories like a smartphone or tablet, allowing you to make the most of limited port availability on the host device

SuperSpeed Data Transfer
Using USB 3.1 Gen 1 technology, the hub supports transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0

Plug & Play Operation
Simply plug the expansion hub into your device and it’s automatically ready to go with no need for an additional power source or driver downloads
