The StarTech.com ST4200MINI2-USB-HUB adds four USB Type-A ports to a computer through a single USB connection. Its compact format is useful when you need extra ports at a desk or while travelling.
The bus-powered hub takes power from the host computer, so it does not require a separate power adapter. It supports USB 2.0 transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps and works with USB 1.1 devices. The manufacturer lists connection to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 host port.
Overcurrent protection helps protect connected peripherals from drawing too much power, with up to 500 mA available per port. Plug-and-play support and hot swapping make it straightforward to connect or disconnect devices during use.
