The Belkin USB 4 Port Hub is a full-featured Universal Serial
Bus (USB) hub. USB 4 Port Hub provides one upstream port
and four downstream ports to the user. It supports both full
speed (12Mbps) and low speed (1.5Mbps) devices such as
keyboards, mice, joysticks and speakers. The USB 4 Port Hub
allows users to attach and use computer peripherals to their
computers without the need to reboot or run setup. Unlike
many other hubs, the USB 4 Port Hub is both bus- and self-
powered. The self-powered feature allows for the cascading
of devices with additional hubs allowing up to 127 different
devices to be connected to a single USB port. The USB 4
Port Hub also includes per-port power ready LEDs for the
user. For detailed specifications please refer to the section
entitled "Technical Specifications". Also included is a 6 ft.
(1.8m) USB Device Cable for immediate connection.

Hardware Installation

USB Cable
There are two types of USB connectors; one is the USB-A, the
other USB-B. The included USB cable is 6 ft. (1.8m) in length.
Power Mode Setting
The Belkin USB 4 Port Hub can operate either with or
without the included AC adapter. When used in bus-powered
mode, without the AC adapter, the hub will supply each
device attached to it a maximum of DC +5V, 100mA power.
This should be sufficient for most mice, joysticks and other
low-power devices. In self-powered mode, using the AC
adapter, the USB 4 Port Hub provides a maximum DC +5V,
500mA to each downstream port, allowing for connection to
other hubs or power-hungry devices.

Hardware Installation (continued)

1. Attach the AC adapter to the power jack on the hub and
power source. While the AC adapter is optional in most
situations, it is recommended that it be used when installing
the USB hub. Once it is determined that the devices are
working properly unplug the AC adapter. If the devices
continue to work properly you will not need the AC adapter.
If they cease to function you will need the AC adapter.
2. Connect the USB-A connector (please refer to Figure-2) of
the USB cable into the downstream port of the PC or one
downstream port of another hub.
3. Connect the USB-B connector (please refer to Figure-3) of
the USB cable into the upstream port of the USB 4 Port Hub
4. Connect the USB-A connector of the USB device, such as a
mouse, keyboard, etc. into any of the downstream ports of
the USB 4 Port Hub.
Note: This can also be used as a module
to the Belkin BusStation™. Simply
remove the attached sleeve and
slide the hub into one of the
BusStation™bays.
