FAQs
Does this hub require external power?
No, this hub is bus-powered and does not require an external power adapter. It draws power directly from the host computer's USB port.
What is the maximum data transfer speed?
The hub supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps (theoretical maximum). It is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps) and USB 1.1 (up to 240 Mbps).
Can I use this hub with a USB 2.0 port?
Yes, the hub is backward compatible and will function with USB 2.0 ports, but data transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps).
How do the individual power switches work?
Each switch allows you to independently turn the power supply to a specific USB port on or off. This is useful for disconnecting devices without physically unplugging them or for managing power consumption.
Is this hub compatible with macOS?
Yes, the hub is compatible with macOS version 10.6 and later, as well as other major operating systems like Windows and Linux.
What does the blue LED indicator signify?
The blue LED lights up for each port when its corresponding individual power switch is turned ON, indicating that the port is active and supplying power to a connected device.
Troubleshooting
Hub is not recognized by the computer
Ensure the hub is plugged directly into a USB 3.0 port on the computer. Try a different USB port or USB cable if available. Restart your computer.
Connected device is not working
Check if the individual power switch for that port is turned ON. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to rule out a device issue. Ensure the device is compatible with the USB standard being used.
Slow data transfer speeds
Verify that the hub is connected to a USB 3.0 port on the computer and that the connected device also supports USB 3.0. Close unnecessary applications that might be consuming system resources. Disconnect other devices from the hub to test performance in isolation.
LED indicators are not lit
Confirm the individual power switch for the port is in the 'On' position. If the switch is on and the LED is still off, try a different USB port on the hub for that device.
