It has actually saved me from buying a new computer for the house due to the limited number of USB ports on our present PC. This is a great unit by adding 4 USB ports to your existing computer. Obviously, there is a male part on the cord, that fits into the USB port of your computer. Be aware though that this unit has a short cord so if you have a PC and your USB port is in the front like ours, you may have to get a small extension cord in order that it doesn't fall out of the socket every time you put in, or take out, a peripheral. But the extension cords are very inexpensive and it's well worth the price. For someone like me, I needed that in the description to fully understand the workings of the unit. Otherwise, a great buy.
First, it's my fault. I never imagined that Linksys would still be selling such an outdated and basically useless item. I did NOT clearly read the info. THIS IS AN OUTDATED USB 1.0 hub. Had it been USB 2.0 compliante it would be ***** and a great item. But sadly, it's not and is so slow even the computer flashed a message suggesting I use a better product.
The only point negative is usb port 1.1, but linksys=cisco so my money its guarantied
This hub is not 2.0. This is an antiquated hub and will work very slowly if you're doing any data transfer at all. I had transfers completely stop after one minute.Also, it doesn't come with a power cable, although there is a port for power. Very cheap linksys.Avoid, and get the belkin 4-port, which is powered AND 2.0.
I thought I was getting the newest version,the 2.0, but this is only a 1.1, which is much slower and to think I paid $16.98 for this.I'm sending it back. Won't work well with any newer computer. Very disappointed.
