Sandberg USB 2.0 Hub enables you to attach more USB peripherals to your computer. The hub is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. When connected to a USB 2.0 port, you can achieve high USB 2.0 data transfer rates right up to 480 Mbit/s! Placing the hub on your desktop saves you the trouble of having to connect USB peripherals at the back of your computer, as you will have the hub’s USB ports on your desk instead. The hub features built-in overload protection of your computer’s USB ports and the hub’s ports from peripherals which overload them. Connect your hub using the cable supplied, and Windows® will install the necessary software automatically. It's as easy as that!
