USB Hub LogiLink BP0168 4 Ports Compact Design

The LogiLink BP0168 4 Ports Compact Design USB hub is a small, bus-powered USB 2.0 hub that expands a single USB port into four ports for connecting keyboards, mice, flash drives, printers and other USB devices. Its compact enclosure and lightweight construction are intended to minimise desk clutter and save space on workstations in home and office environments while maintaining standard USB 2.0 data transfer rates for general peripherals.

Advantages

The hub provides four downstream USB ports in a single, compact unit that requires no external power supply for typical low-power devices. Its plug-and-play functionality enables immediate connection with most operating systems without additional drivers. The streamlined housing and short cable make it convenient to position the hub close to a laptop or desktop and reduce cable tangling around the workspace.

Suitable for

• Expanding USB connectivity for laptops and desktop PCs
• Connecting multiple low-power peripherals such as keyboard, mouse and USB flash drives
• Temporary workstation setups, hot-desking and mobile office use
• Home office and study desk environments where space-saving is required

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 2.0 (backward compatible with USB 1.1)
• Number of downstream ports: 4
• Power: Bus-powered (no external power adapter for standard low-current devices)
• Data transfer rate: USB 2.0 high speed (up to 480 Mbps theoretical)
• Form factor: Compact, lightweight housing with integrated short cable
• Compatibility: Works with common operating systems supporting USB plug-and-play

How to use

Connect the hub's integrated cable to an available USB port on your computer. After the operating system recognises the device, plug your USB peripherals into the hub's four ports. For devices that draw significant current (external hard drives, optical drives or some mobile devices), connect only one high-power device or use a powered hub to ensure stable operation. Position the hub on your desk near your computer to maintain tidy cable routing.

Recommendations

Use the hub for keyboards, mice, printers, flash drives and other low-power peripherals. Avoid connecting multiple high-current devices simultaneously; for stable operation with power-hungry equipment, use a hub with an external power supply. Keep the hub on a flat surface and disconnect from the host before transporting to prevent cable strain.
