Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on USB 2.0 Hi-Speed technology, the U223-010 hub maintains data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps across all ten downstream ports. The host interface connects via a standard USB 2.0 Mini B port, included with a matching USB 2.0 A Male cable for direct attachment to computers or laptops.
Power delivery is managed through an integrated design that supports bus power for low-energy devices, with an optional external AC adapter included for peripherals requiring dedicated power. The adapter operates on universal input voltage (AC100-240V) and delivers regulated 5V output at 4000mA, ensuring stable operation across global electrical standards.
