Our take
Consider the A7517011 when your immediate need is four USB 3.0 data connections, you can confirm the computer-side plug, and data expansion matters more than charging or dock functions. Its main compromise is the unresolved host cable and exact Amazon offer; the published 5Gbps maximum is not a measured per-port result.
A buyer who needs four USB data connections, can verify the exact host plug and package, and does not need a hub presented as a device-charging station..
Skip it if you need verified laptop charging, a confirmed USB-C host connection, or a direct listing mapped to historical ASIN B014OS45OK.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- Anker's Ultra Slim family specification lists four USB 3.0 data ports and an up-to-5Gbps maximum.
- Bic Camera identifies the exact A7517011 model and its one-meter extension-cable set.
- The compact size and weight listed by Bic Camera help with basic desk or bag planning.
What to weigh up
- The accessible exact-model details do not confirm the computer-side plug or downstream connector shapes.
- Anker says the family hub is not designed to charge attached devices; host PD support is also unconfirmed.
- The frozen Amazon ASIN and its exact cable bundle are not mapped to the A7517011 retailer configuration.

What the features mean for you
Four ports add focused USB expansion
The A7517011 gives one computer connection a documented four-port USB 3.0 data layout. Bic Camera identifies this exact model as an Ultra Slim USB 3.0 hub, while Anker's Ultra Slim family page describes expanding one computer USB port to four. That makes it a focused data expander for a mouse, keyboard, flash drive, or similar accessories rather than an all-in-one dock. The inspected pages do not list a display output, wired Ethernet, or removable-card reader in the four-port layout. If your setup needs those functions, compare a dock that names them. The accessible exact-model details do not establish the host plug or output connector shapes, so check the seller's port and cable photos against your computer before choosing it.
Treat 5Gbps as a maximum claim
Anker lists data speeds up to 5Gbps for the Ultra Slim family. That is a manufacturer maximum, not an independent benchmark and not a promise of 5Gbps for each connected device. Four sockets still share the hub's upstream connection, so transfer performance depends on the computer, cable, attached storage, and concurrent activity. The published page does not provide a simultaneous-transfer result or an allocation across the four ports. Use the rating to understand the advertised interface class, then check that your computer and peripherals support a compatible link. Choose it for the documented port count and layout rather than expecting a hub to increase the bandwidth of the computer's own connection.
Check the cable package and physical size
Bic Camera describes the exact A7517011 listing as a one-meter USB extension-cable set and lists the hub body at 107 × 30 × 10 mm and 35 g. Those details can help you plan where a small hub might sit and whether the cited cable set provides useful reach. The family page discusses different cable-length options for the Ultra Slim line, but it does not map those choices to the historical Amazon offer. Do not assume that the same accessory bundle accompanies every seller listing. The physical fit is general rather than shaped for one computer model, and the computer-side connector remains unconfirmed in the saved exact-model details. Check the current package list and host plug before ordering.
Use it for data, not device charging
Anker says its Ultra Slim hub is not designed to charge connected devices. The family page also cautions against exceeding a total 900 mA load for stable operation; that is family-level guidance, not an A7517011 per-port rating or an independently measured result. The inspected specification does not identify a separate hub power supply, and the no-device-charging statement does not itself establish USB-C Power Delivery pass-through to a laptop. If you need to charge a phone, tablet, or computer, use a dedicated charger or choose a hub whose exact model page documents that charging role. Keep the unanswered host-PD and auxiliary-power fields unknown instead of reading a power path into the four-port count.
Keep the model code and Amazon mapping separate
The cited Bic Camera page names A7517011 and describes its one-meter extension-cable set. A separate Bic Camera record names A7516011, a similar four-port Anker model with a different code. Similar family names do not establish that two offers contain the same model or cable bundle. The saved check of historical ASIN B014OS45OK did not produce a readable Amazon detail page, and no source maps that ASIN to this exact A7517011 retail configuration. The tagged destination is therefore an Amazon search for the full model code, not a claimed product link. Confirm A7517011 and the required cable in the offer before purchase; this review relies on published specifications and makes no hands-on, price, stock, or customer-feedback claim.
What else to compare
Before you buy
Does B014OS45OK identify the A7517011?
That mapping is not verified. The old Amazon page did not load in the saved check, so the link searches for A7517011 instead of claiming the historical ASIN is exact.
Does the 5Gbps maximum apply to each port at once?
No. It is Anker's family-level maximum, not a measured result or a simultaneous per-port guarantee.
Can I use it to charge a phone or laptop?
Anker says the hub is not designed to charge connected devices. The saved specification also leaves USB-C host-charging pass-through unconfirmed.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.

The decision
Consider the A7517011 when your immediate need is four USB 3.0 data connections, you can confirm the computer-side plug, and data expansion matters more than charging or dock functions. Its main compromise is the unresolved host cable and exact Amazon offer; the published 5Gbps maximum is not a measured per-port result.
