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 Premium hub 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.
