The Manhattan 4-Port USB 2.0 Micro Hub extends PCs and notebooks with four additional USB ports. The device features a host interface of type USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A and provides four hub interfaces of the same type. The data transfer rate is 480 Mbit/s, which corresponds to the Hi-Speed standard of USB 2.0. The interfaces are compatible with USB 1.1, allowing older devices to be connected. Power supply is via the USB bus, so no external power supply is required. The housing is made of plastic and is black in colour. The compact design with a height of 125 mm, a width of 37 mm and a depth of 42 mm makes the hub a portable solution. The weight is 70 g.

Applications

The hub is suitable for expanding USB ports on desktop computers, notebooks and other devices that have a USB port. It can be used to connect keyboards, mice, webcams, external storage devices, printers or other USB peripherals. The plug-and-play function and hot-swap capability allow for easy installation without restarting the system. The integrated USB cable (Type A to Mini B) ensures direct connection to a free USB port.

Functions and equipment in detail

The hub offers four USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A ports, supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s. This speed is sufficient for operating storage devices, printers and other peripheral devices. Compatibility with USB 1.1 ensures the use of older USB devices as well. Power supply is via the USB bus, increasing portability and eliminating the need for a separate power supply. The robust plastic housing protects the internal components and ensures a long service life.

Technology explained simply

The designation USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) describes the interface, which technically corresponds to the USB 2.0 standard. The data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s is the maximum speed supported by this standard. Power supply via the USB bus means that the device is powered through the connected device (e.g. PC or notebook). This is possible because the USB specification provides for a certain power supply through the cable. The plug-and-play function enables immediate recognition of the device by the operating system without requiring additional drivers to be installed. The hot-swap capability allows connecting and disconnecting the hub during operation without having to restart the system.

Compatibility and accessories

The hub is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Support for these operating systems enables broad use in various working environments. The integrated USB connection (Type A to Mini B) is standard and serves to connect to the host computer. No additional accessories or adapters are required.

Mounting and installation

Installation is done by simply connecting the integrated USB cable to a free USB port on the computer. The device is automatically recognised as soon as it is connected. The plug-and-play function ensures that no additional settings or driver installations are required. The hot-swap capability allows disconnecting and reconnecting the hub during operation without having to restart the system.

Advantages in operation

The hub provides a compact, portable solution for expanding USB ports. Power supply via the USB bus reduces the number of required cables and power supplies. The plug-and-play and hot-swap functions simplify usage, especially in mobile or temporary working environments. Compatibility with various operating systems increases application flexibility. The robust plastic construction ensures long-term use.
