10-port USB 2.0 hub
Synchrotech has announced an addition to its line of USB hubs, the K10 USB 2.0 Hub 10-Port Powered with Power Supply. The K10 provides computers with 10 additional USB ports that are capable of supporting low speeds of 1.5Mbps, full speeds of 12Mbps, and high-speeds of 480Mbps. While designed to be USB 2.0 compliant, the device is also USB 1.1 backward compatible, where it supports a maximum speed of 15Mbps. The hub runs in a self-powered mode and provides over-current protection at each of its downstream ports.
In addition, the hub is capable of auto-detecting speeds and connections of devices, and provides a reliable transmission for USB cables up to 4.5 meters. The free power supply included with the device has a 3-amp capacity.
K10 is compatible with any Mac and available for purchase for $32.
