i-tec U3METALG3HUB — a wired network socket and three USB ports in a 65 g metal body
Gigabit 10/100/10003 x USB-A at 5 GbpsMetal body, 65 gTwo-year i-tec warranty
The i-tec U3METALG3HUB replaces two dongles with one. A single USB-A plug on a 28 cm cable becomes a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 socket and three full-size USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports at up to 5 Gbps, in a 96 mm metal body weighing 65 g. There is no power supply to carry and nothing to install: the Realtek RTL8153 controller inside is supported natively, and i-tec states the driver installs itself from the system or Windows Update. Overcurrent protection is built in.
Compatibility — check before buying:
It is bus-powered with no power input of any kind — there is no DC jack, so three USB ports and a Gigabit controller all live on what one host USB socket supplies. That makes bus-powered hard drives a poor fit, especially while the network is busy. The Ethernet port shares the same 5 Gbps link as the three USB ports. The host plug is USB-A; the i-tec C31METALG3HUB is the identical unit with a USB-C plug, and the two look the same in photographs. There is no Power Delivery, so it cannot charge the notebook, and i-tec does not publish per-port current limits.
Best For
✓ Ultrabooks and thin laptops with no RJ-45 socket
✓ Offices and sites where the network must be wired
✓ Installers and engineers configuring equipment
✓ Meeting rooms with a wall socket and poor Wi-Fi
✓ Getting USB-A ports back at the same time
✓ Travel kits where 65 g and no brick matter
Key Features
Metal, not plastic
i-tec builds this one in metal for durability and heat dissipation — a 96 x 30 x 21 mm body at 65 g that survives being thrown in a bag with a laptop every day.
Gigabit, not Fast Ethernet
A full 10/100/1000 Mbps port using a Realtek RTL8153 controller, rather than the 100 Mbps socket still shipped on budget adapters. The difference shows on every large file copy.
Nothing to install, nothing to power
The driver installs automatically from the operating system or Windows Update, and there is no power supply to pack — the whole product is the metal bar and its 28 cm cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Two dongles become one, and the metal body is what makes this the version you actually keep. Within our USB hub range it sits at the light travel end: 65 g, bus-powered, nothing to plug into the wall, and a Gigabit port that is properly specified rather than the 100 Mbps compromise. The limit follows from being bus-powered, and i-tec does not pretend otherwise — there is no DC jack at all, so this is a tool for peripherals and a network cable, not for external drives. Decide first whether you want a hub or a dock: if the laptop also needs to charge and drive a monitor over one cable, that is a different product class. And check the connector, because the C31METALG3HUB is the USB-C twin. If the wired side is the point, our networking range has the switch and cabling at the far end.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
Your laptop has no Ethernet socket and the network has to be wired. You want three full-size USB ports back in the same dongle. You want a metal body at 65 g with no drivers and no power supply to carry.
Skip it if
Your laptop only has USB-C — take the C31METALG3HUB. You want the adapter to charge the notebook: there is no power input at all. You plan to run bus-powered hard drives alongside heavy network traffic.
Also consider
i-tec C31METALG3HUB if your host port is USB-C. A USB-C dock if you also want charging and video on the same cable. A mains-powered hub if the devices are drives and must stay powered.
