DIGITUS USB 2.0 Hub, 4-Port

Features

The DIGITUS AB-50001-1 hub is designed to connect four USB devices simultaneously through a single host-system port. It supports all three USB 2.0 modes – High-Speed, Full-Speed, and Low-Speed – ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripherals, from flash drives to keyboards and mice.

Bus-powered operation makes the device fully passive and independent of power outlets. The fixed 30 cm cable conveniently positions the hub next to a laptop or desktop tower, reducing desk cable clutter.
