USB hub SAVIO AK-70, 7-port USB 3.0, 4 usable ports, USB Type-A host, 5 Gbit/s transfer, warranty 2 years

The Savio AK-70 is a compact four-port USB-A hub that expands a single USB-A port into one USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 port and three USB-A 2.0 ports. It features a USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 male input and a short integrated cable, and is compatible with common peripherals such as keyboards, mice and portable storage devices.

Advantages

The AK-70 increases the number of available USB ports while maintaining backward compatibility with older USB standards. Its combination of one USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 port (5 Gbps) and three USB-A 2.0 ports (480 Mbps) provides flexibility for both high-speed and legacy devices. The hub is bus-powered via USB 5 V, eliminating the need for an external power adapter for low-power peripherals.

How to use

Connect the AK-70's USB-A male plug to an available USB-A port on your computer or other host device. Plug peripherals into the hub's ports according to required speeds—use the USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 port for devices that need higher bandwidth and the USB-A 2.0 ports for mice, keyboards or other legacy devices. The hub is passive and draws power from the host USB port, so no separate power adapter is required for low-power accessories.

Recommendations

Use the USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 output for high-speed storage devices to achieve up to 5 Gbps transfer rates, and avoid connecting many high-power devices at once since the hub is bus-powered and has limited power delivery.
