DETERMINING THE SPEED OF CONNECTED
DEVICES
1. The USB 2.0 specification includes three separate modes of data
transmission. These are defined as low-speed (1.5Mbps), full-speed
(12Mbps), and high-speed (480Mbps). The Belkin TetraHub is the only
USB hub on the market today that provides a visual indication of a
connected device’s speed. This is accomplished using proprietary
speed indication circuitry. Each downstream port on the Hub has a
corresponding LED that changes color according to the speed of the
connected device as noted below.
Connection Speed LED color
Low Green
Full Red
High Amber
2. In addition, the upstream port has a corresponding LED that indicates
the speed of the computer’s USB host controller as noted below.
Host Controller Speed LED color
Full Red
High Amber
Note: The Hub itself will always connect to the host as either a full- or
high-speed device, never as a low-speed device.
