OVERVIEW
Attaching peripherals to your PCs has never been easier! A single USB 2.0
Connect just 4 or up to 127 peripherals!
Although the most common application gives your PC access to just four or seven peripherals using one hub, you can also cascade hubs to connect more peripherals. A typical cascaded application could provide a single PC with access to any number of peripherals from one to 127.
The first hub in the cascade links to your PC via its upstream USB mini Type B port and the included USB cable. One of the downstream Type A ports on this hub attaches to the upstream mini Type B port on the second hub via the included USB cable. The remaining three Type A ports on the second hub connect to peripherals or additional hubs via USB cable (ordered
Cascading hubs continues in this way up to a maximum of five tiers that provide a total of 127 attached peripherals.
Whether or not you are cascading hubs, you don’t even have to open the PC case to install the hub. It’s
