Technical Overview
This USB hub operates on the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed standard, providing data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps for efficient file transfers and peripheral operation. The host interface uses a USB Type B connector, compatible with desktops, laptops, and all-in-one systems that support USB 3.0. Each of the four ports supports the Battery Charging 1.2 specification, delivering up to 2.4A per port for fast charging of smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices.
The external power supply inputs 100-240V AC at 50/60 Hz and outputs 12V DC at 2A, ensuring consistent power delivery without drawing from the host system's USB bus. This design prevents overloading and maintains stable performance across all connected peripherals, from external hard drives to printers and scanners.
