What\'s a USB Hub?
Since the mid 90's we have seen the
birth and growth of a connective
technology called Universal Serial Bus (USB). Originally
designed to connect computers and telecoms equipment, it has
slowly become the primary means of connecting a whole host of
other devices and has made significant contributions to today's
IT world.
Microprocessor Design The sheer number of USB products on the market today is just staggering, from mice and keyboards, modems, external hard drives to USB fans, lights and coffee cup warmers! Most external computer related devices today connect to a computer via a USB port. So it's no wonder that before long, most computer users find themselves wondering what to do when the USB ports (sockets) on their computer are all used. The easiest solution to this is to add a USB hub. Most hubs will support the addition of four or more peripheral devices. Hubs can be added to extend the distance a USB device can be away from the computer, along with adding ports. The maximum distance a standard USB cable should be is 5 meters. meter cable between each hub. Intel Motherboard There are two solutions to the problem, constantly plug and unplug connectors when swapping between USB devices, or invest in a simple, low cost device called a USB Hub. A USB Hub is a small unit with two or more USB ports, which plugs into an USB port on your computer, allowing you the freedom to connect more USB devices without disconnecting others. Expanding the number of USB ports of your computer in this way not only saves wear and tear on your USB ports and connectors, but also puts and end to all that clambering around behind your PC! Generally speaking, there are four types of available: Only $54.99 Speed USB 2. Port Hub Link Speed USB 2. Port Hub port hub that is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1. Allows connection of up to seven additional USB peripherals or devices to your USB ready PC or Mac. Only $29.99 $19.99 network adapter Link network adapter Gigabyte Mainboard 1. Internal USB PCI Card The receiver will not work on EVGA 680i motherboards and some other hardware. The problem seems to be that it draws too much power and causes other USB devices on the same controller to be unable to function. There is a workaround though that does work. You need to plug the Xbox 360 receiver into a powered USB hub. So take on another few bucks to your purchase of this device. Thanks M$! History Of Microprocessor An internal PCI USB Card needs to be installed by opening up the case of your PC and inserting a card into a vacant PCI slot on the motherboard, this type of USB expansion is not advised unless you are familiar with working with and inside computers. If you have the older USB1.1 and upgrade to USB2.0, your version of Windows will also need to be updated so that your PC can support USB2.0 functionality. 04 Different from most other USB hubs, this one is able to connect most devices without requiring an external power supply. It' quality, speed USB 2.0 cable. Comparing with other brand's USB hubs that I previously used, this Belkin USB 2.0 Tetra Hub is most reliable and powerful as ever. You never have to worry about bad connections or big transferring data (available up to 480Mbps.) Ecs Motherboard 2. USB Hub (Non Powered) The A+ Core Hardware exam tests your knowledge of the central role played by the system's microprocessor, which has become essential knowledge for the professional PC repairperson. There was a time when replacing the CPU was very complicated. However, today's motherboards feature sockets and slots into which several types and versions of microprocessors can be interchanged. You still have to watch out for compatibility issues, but it's not uncommon for customers to want you to upgrade their PC instead of replace it. Mainboard Driver An external non-powered USB Hub is a cheap and simple device that plugs directly into one of your computer's existing USB ports and that's all there is to it. These are usually very compact and so make ideal solutions for mobile users with laptops and for desktop users. Computer Motherboard Be aware that some USB devices require a small amount of power through the USB port, usually mechanical devices such as printers, scanners, digital cameras and so on. This type of USB Hub may not be able to supply adequate power to these devices especially if you are using a few USB devices together. Asus Mainboard 3. Powered USB Hub Microprocessor Programming An external Powered USB Hub is also compact and plugs directly into one of your computer's existing USB ports, so again there is no need to open up your computer to install it. The only difference is that the Powered Hub comes with a separate power supply that must be plugged into the mains socket, supplying the power to all the USB ports on the hub allowing ANY type of USB devices to function properly. Socket Motherboard Most Powered Hubs come with a sensible length of USB cable allowing the Hub itself to be positioned in a more accessible place e.g. on top of your computer or on your desk, making plugging and unplugging USB devices much easier. This makes the Powered Hub the all round best solution for desktop computer users. Ecs Mainboard 4. USB PC Card Motherboard Manual If you use a Laptop and are on the move, you have an additional
choice to the USB Hub, the USB PC Card also known as the PCMCIA USB
Card. This device slots into the PCMCIA slot/port found on the side
of a Laptop and instantly provides two extra USB ports without
using up any of your existing USB ports on the Laptop. Shuttle Mainboard Iggy Quazi is director of Ecommerce business Mouse2House based in Essex, England stocking a wide range of digital imaging devices. Share this:
