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 multi-port enclosure solves the problem of missing wired Ethernet ports and restricted connectivity on modern computers as well as older-generation workstations.

In terms of hardware engineering, the specific feature of this version in 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 (MacBooks, Ultrabooks) as well as desktop workshop 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 configurations, or massive firmware downloads away 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 keying) for boot drives or backup disks, backed up 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 secure the electrical stability of the hub during simultaneous use of heavy peripherals.
