Such a device is designed to create additional ports of a serial USB interface. This is especially true for modern laptops, where the number of such connectors is extremely limited. The splitter is built on the Genesys Logic 3520 controller. The interface in it is USB 3.0 (backward compatible with earlier versions, of course, with loss of transmission speeds). The hub housing is made of aluminum alloy and its coating is scratch resistant. The rather wide rubber plates from below fix the device well on the surface and prevent it from sliding. The hub provides the ability to enable / disable each port (there are individual switches). The housing has integrated LED illumination of working ports. At the end of the case there are connectors for connecting a USB cable and power supply. The cable is thick enough, he is not afraid of excesses. Its length is 600 mm. Characteristics of the hub power adapter: 48 W / 12 V / 4 A. In the event of its breakdown, it will not be difficult to find similar ones offline. The device provides protection against overcurrent and short circuit. You can use this hub as a charger for tablets, cameras, phones, etc. (up to 2.4 A). When connecting to a computer, you do not need to install additional software. Equally well, this splitter is “friendly” with Windows, Linux, and Mac. The device is delivered in a sturdy box with a company logo.
The sizes of the splitters are as follows:
• on 4 ports: 114 mm x 59 mm x 22 mm (LxWxH);
• on 7 ports: 198 mm x 62 mm x 22 mm (LxWxH).
The splitter is not cheap, but it should be noted that it differs from inexpensive analogs by a much better performance, and it does perform the declared functionality, so this device is definitely worth its money. We also note that when ordering, special attention should be paid to what type of power adapter plug is required, for example, the seller presents both euro plugs and US, UK.
