Introduction | 01
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin USB Plus Hub. The Hub
provides seven downstream USB ports that offer backward-compatible, Plug-and-Play
connectivity with all USB devices, including USB 1.1 (or low- and full-speed) devices, as
well as with USB 2.0 (or high-speed) devices. This includes such peripherals as scanners,
printers, mass-storage devices, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub is self-powered,
which allows you to cascade devices with additional hubs, so that up to 127 USB devices
may be connected to a single port.
The Hub lets you connect your peripherals through the back or top ports. Reserve the
top ports for flash drives and MP3 players while using the back ports for stationary
devices. The cable-management feature lets you easily remember which cables
correspond to each device. The Hub also provides a status LED for each individual port
and a master power LED.
