Vubx Coolest Gadgets

USB hubs are popular nowadays because of heavy connectivity needs of people on latest years for a variety of USB devices. Especially 4 and 7 ports USB hubs are trendy but I would prefer 7 ports because 4 is a really small number for a busy computing environment.

It is really a slim one if you consider space is an important factor and travel much. There is a sliding metal base to keep the hub in place when devices are added to the ports. You can get the power directly from USB port or use the included power supply. Up to 127 devices can be supported adding extra hubs.

Transfer rate is up to 480 Mbps which is certificated by USB-IF. There is no installation, everything is automatically recognized. So, a combination of external hard drive, webcam, several flash drives, a wireless mouse, a laptop cooler and a printer connection to your notebook is not a dream. Top customer ratings at Amazon, plus cheaper than its rivals.

It is the same functionality but in a more stylish way. And 2 of the ports are on the top for easier, quick access.

There is an over-current protection functionality embedded into the device. It doesn’t need any external power supply for most devices.

One of the Amazon user comments is interesting as a negative side. If you connect even one USB 1.1 device, all other ports will be forced to work according to its speed limitations. He stated that it is a common situation for most USB Hubs except Cables-To-Go USB hub which we reviewed at the beginning of this post.
