Introduction
Welcome to Belkin USB 2.0!
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB
2.0 Premium hub. The Hub provides four 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 the cascading of devices with additional hubs, so
that up to 127 USB devices may be connected to a single port.
The Hub features multicolor LEDs that indicate the operating speed of each
connected USB device and the speed of the link to the host computer. For
additional information, refer to the “Technical Specifications” section.
The Premium hub offers several important advantages over traditional
USB 2.0 hubs. Most important is its implementation of the new “Quad TT”
architecture. Simply stated, when connected to a USB 2.0 host controller,
each of the Premium hub’s four downstream ports deliver a full 12Mbps
of USB bandwidth for low- and full-speed devices while still providing
total support for high-speed devices. This is especially important when
connecting multiple, bandwidth-intensive, full-speed devices such as USB
webcams, speakers, scanners, and external storage devices.
