USB hub DELOCK 61072 — 8-port USB 2.0 hub, bus-powered

DELOCK 61072 is an 8-port USB 2.0 hub that expands a single USB port into eight available USB 2.0 connections. It provides a compact and bus-powered solution for connecting multiple peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers and flash drives. The hub supports standard USB 2.0 data rates and is suitable for low-to-moderate bandwidth devices, offering a straightforward way to increase the number of accessible USB ports at a workstation or laptop without requiring an external power supply.

Advantages

The device offers eight downstream ports in a compact housing, enabling simultaneous connection of several USB peripherals. Bus-powered operation removes the need for an AC adapter, making the hub portable and simple to set up. USB 2.0 compatibility ensures broad support for legacy and modern devices, while plug-and-play functionality allows for immediate use on most operating systems without additional drivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting keyboards and mice to laptops or desktop PCs
• Attaching flash drives and external storage for file transfer
• Connecting printers, scanners and other low-bandwidth peripherals
• Expanding USB port availability at home office desks or shared workstations

Key specifications

• Number of downstream ports: 8 USB 2.0 ports
• Host interface: USB 2.0 Type-A (bus-powered)
• Power: Bus-powered (no external power adapter required)
• Data transfer: Up to USB 2.0 full speed/high speed rates suitable for low-to-moderate bandwidth devices
• Compatibility: Works with standard USB peripherals (keyboards, mice, printers, flash drives)
• Form factor: Compact, lightweight hub designed for desktop or portable use

How to use

Plug the hub's integrated USB Type-A cable into a free USB port on your computer. After the connection is made, connect your USB peripherals to the available downstream ports. Most operating systems will recognize the hub automatically and configure connected devices without additional driver installation. If multiple high-power devices are connected simultaneously, device performance may be affected due to the bus-powered operation; in that case, disconnect non-essential devices or use externally powered alternatives.

Recommendations

Use the hub for low-to-moderate power and bandwidth devices such as keyboards, mice, USB flash drives and printers. Avoid connecting multiple high-current devices (for example, some external hard drives or power-hungry USB gadgets) simultaneously, as the bus-powered design limits available power per port. Place the hub on a stable surface and ensure the host computer's USB port is functioning properly for reliable operation.
