Thank you for purchasing the USB 2.0 Aluminum Hub. The USB 2.0 Aluminum Hub conveniently adds high
speed USB 2.0 ports to your desktop or notebook computer. The slim form factor saves space while the port
placement and hard-mountable metal base keep the hub in place even when several USB devices are
connected. The hub easily slides out of the base making it convenient to travel with as well.
To ensure proper operation the USB 2.0 Aluminum Hub must utilize the included power supply. Add
additional hubs to support up to 127 devices. Whether you are downloading or transferring spreadsheets,
MP3 files, digital pictures, or video streams- the USB 2.0 Aluminum Hub will make connecting several high
speed USB 2.0 devices hassle-free. We recommend that you read this manual thoroughly and retain
for future reference.
