USB 2.0 Hub Akasa AK-CBUB64-30BK 1-to-4 Port USB 2.0

Akasa AK-CBUB64-30BK is a compact 1-to-4 port USB 2.0 hub that expands a single USB port into four standard USB 2.0 ports. The device supports backward-compatible USB 2.0 data transfer and is designed for simple plug-and-play operation without additional drivers. Its small form factor and lightweight construction make it suitable for use with desktops, laptops and other host devices where extra USB ports are needed for peripherals.

Advantages

The hub provides four additional USB 2.0 ports from a single host connection, enabling simultaneous connection of multiple peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards, mice and other low-power USB devices. Its USB 2.0 compatibility ensures reliable data transfer rates typical for the standard, and the plug-and-play design enables immediate use on most operating systems without driver installation. The compact design and minimal footprint make it easy to carry and position near the host device.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB flash drives for data transfer and backup
• Attaching keyboard and mouse to laptops or desktops with limited ports
• Adding low-power USB peripherals such as web cameras, game controllers, and card readers
• Temporary expansion of ports for presentations, meetings, and travel

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 2.0 host to four USB 2.0 downstream ports
• Data transfer: USB 2.0 (backward compatible with USB 1.1)
• Number of ports: 4 downstream ports
• Power: bus-powered from the host USB port (no external power adapter included)
• Form factor: compact, lightweight hub designed for desktop and portable use
• Compatibility: standard USB peripheral devices such as storage drives, keyboards, mice and card readers

How to use

Connect the hub’s integrated USB cable to an available USB port on your host computer. After the host recognizes the device, plug required USB peripherals into the hub’s downstream ports. For most operating systems the hub and connected devices will work immediately via plug-and-play. If multiple high-power devices are connected, consider using externally powered alternatives to ensure adequate power delivery.

Recommendations

Use the hub for connecting low-power peripherals and data devices. Avoid relying on a bus-powered hub for multiple high-current devices such as external hard drives that require sustained power; when needed, choose a hub with external power support. Position the hub close to the host to avoid stress on the host’s USB port and ensure stable connections.
