Orico 5-port USB-C Hub / Transmission Rate: USB A 3.0×1：5Gbps, USB A 2.0×2 480Mbps, USB C PD 2.0×1 20V 3A 60W MAX, USB C 2.0×1 480Mbps / USB A 3.0×1, USB A 2.0×2, USB C PD 60W power supply×1, USB C 2.0×1 / Wide Support for Various USB Devices / ORICO-BHC1-5CP-GY-BP

The Orico BHC1-5CP is a five-port USB-C hub carrying one USB-A 3.0 port at 5Gbps, two USB-A 2.0 ports at 480Mbps, one USB-C 2.0 data port and one USB-C Power Delivery port rated 20V 3A for 60W. It connects a mouse, keyboard, flash drive and a charging phone to a laptop or PC at the same time, in a compact body that is light enough to carry.

One USB-A 3.0 port runs at up to 5Gbps, which is the connector to reserve for anything that actually moves data. Flash drives and external storage belong here, because the difference between this port and the 2.0 ports on the same hub is roughly tenfold on a large file copy.

Two USB-A 2.0 ports rated at 480Mbps handle the basic peripherals, which is exactly what a mouse, a keyboard or a wireless dongle needs. Splitting the hub this way is deliberate: those devices hold a port permanently but move almost no data, so they never compete with the 3.0 connector.

The USB-C Power Delivery port is rated at 20V and 3A for a 60W maximum, enough to keep a laptop or tablet powered while it is docked. Passing charge through the hub is what removes the usual trade-off on a machine with one Type-C port, where connecting peripherals normally means unplugging the charger.

Alongside the Power Delivery connector, a USB-C 2.0 port carries data at 480Mbps. Having a second Type-C connector matters as accessories move to that standard, because it means a Type-C flash drive or cable does not need an adapter just to reach one of the hub's USB-A sockets.

Power Delivery charging up to 60W lets a laptop or tablet run from mains power through the hub, so the machine is charging and connected at the same time. On a long working day that turns the hub into the single cable you attach at the desk rather than a device you swap in and out with the charger.

A mouse, keyboard and flash drive can be connected while a smartphone charges, without sacrificing speed or performance on any of them. That is the practical test of a hub, since a design that shares bandwidth badly shows up as a laggy mouse the moment a file transfer starts on another port.

The hub is lightweight and easy to carry, which is what separates a portable dock from a desk fixture. Because it draws what it needs through the Type-C connection rather than a separate mains adapter, the whole setup is the hub plus one cable, and that is what makes it realistic to move between locations daily.

The hub is aimed at workstations, school setups and gaming rigs, three environments with the same underlying problem of too few ports on modern machines. In each case the fix is the same: leave the peripherals permanently attached to the hub and connect one Type-C cable to whichever machine is in use.

Everything runs through a single Type-C connection to a laptop or PC, which is what makes this a multi-functional docking station rather than a plain splitter. The compact design keeps five ports within reach without a mains brick, a hub casing the size of a book, or a second cable running across the desk.
