This USB innovation from Belkin lets you connect up to four peripherals quickly and easily. Our Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub provides four downstream USB ports that offer Plug-and-Play connectivity to your USB 1.1 (low- and full-speed) and USB 2.0 (high-speed) devices. This includes such peripherals as scanners, printers, mass-storage drives, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub is self-powered and allows cascading-so that up to 127 USB devices may be connected to a single port. The Hub is uniquely designed so that the four downstream ports can be positioned toward the back of the desktop for efficient cable management, or to the front of the desktop for easier port access. LEDs allow you to easily monitor master power and individual ports.

High-Speed Convenience with Four 480Mbps Ports The Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub features four downstream USB ports for data transfers at up to 480Mbps. It's built to work seamlessly with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices, which means you can keep older-generation peripherals up and running while maximizing the high-speed performance of new devices. Compact and elegant, the Hi-Speed Hub offers a stackable, reversible design that allows its four ports to be positioned toward the back of your desktop for efficient cable management, or toward the front of your desktop for quick port access. Enables Hot Swapping and Cascading for Added Versatility The Hi-Speed Hub supports "hot swapping" of all your USB devices, which means you can plug-in then unplug peripherals--like printers and storage devices--as you need them. You won't have to worry about rebooting, data loss, or the interruption of other system operations. Also, the Hi-Speed Hub allows cascading, so you can use it in a multiple-hub setup to connect up to 127 USB devices using a single open port on your computer. Self-Powered Model with Over-Current Protection Self-powered, the Hi-Speed Hub can be used to connect up to two high-speed devices without utilizing an additional power supply, minimizing cord tangles and hassles. In addition, convenient LEDs make it easy to monitor individual ports and the Hub's master power status. The smart design also helps to prevent damage to your expensive computer and USB devices by providing over-current protection. Plug-and-Play Installation A plug-and-play setup gets the four-port Hi-Speed Hub up and running quickly and easily. Simply connect it to your computer using a USB cable (sold separately), follow the on-screen directions, and start connecting devices.
