Hubs play a key role in the Plug-and-Play architecture of the Universal Serial Bus (USB). The new Belkin ExpressBus hub allows simultaneous operation of up to four separate devices all attached to a single USB port. And with the option of daisy chaining hubs, USB can actually connect up to 127 different devices at once! The ExpressBus is truly Plug-and-Play. That means all of your devices will be detected and configured as soon as they are connected. The hub also allows you to "hot attach/detach" devices, giving you the flexibility of adding or removing devices at any time, without having to power down or reboot your system. The ExpressBus is either self-powered or bus-powered, an important option when using multiple hubs or power hungry USB devices. The 4-Port Macintosh version is shipped with 5 colored sleeves to match the color of your iMac or Macintosh computer.
1 Attractive and it works
I used this hub to attach a usb printer, cd-rw drive, and diskette drive to my new iBook, which had only one usb port. Everything worked well, the color of the hub matched the iBook, and the hub itself was unobtrusive on my desk.
