UGREEN 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with 1 m Cable (20277)

Overview

The UGREEN 20277 is a basic USB 2.0 hub that adds four USB-A ports to a computer on a 1 m attached cable, for keyboards, mice, wireless receivers and flash drives. It shares up to 480 Mbps across the ports, so it suits low-speed accessories rather than fast storage. A micro USB input adds power when several devices need more than the computer’s port supplies.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a computer with a USB-A port that needs more sockets for keyboards, mice, receivers and flash drives.
• Not for fast storage: 480 Mbps shared across the hub will not give USB 3.x speed.
• It does not connect directly to USB-C, micro USB or Lightning hosts; a phone or tablet needs USB host mode (OTG) and a separate adapter.

Key features

• Four USB-A 2.0 ports, up to 480 Mbps shared; USB 1.1 devices work at their lower speed.
• Attached 1 m USB-A host cable.
• LED indicator.
• Micro USB auxiliary power input for extra stability.
• Compact round black body, bus-powered.

What else you need

• A computer with a USB-A port.
• If several high-power devices are connected, a micro USB power cable and adapter.

Installation

No installation. Plug the cable into a USB-A port; connected accessories may need their own drivers.

Before you buy

• Add up the current needs of every connected accessory. Several high-power devices can exceed a USB 2.0 port’s power budget.
• It does not remove the need for an accessory’s own driver, application or power adapter.
• No HDMI, Ethernet, audio or card-reader functions.
