The Belkin BusStation is the first USB system designed to adapt to the way you work. The BusStation's innovative, patented modular design gives you the ability to create and customize your own USB environment. The basic BusStation is the finest 7-port USB hub available. The unique vertical design of the BusStation requires a minimum of your precious desktop space, while complementing your other desktop accessories. As a 7-port hub, the BusStation allows you to connect up to seven USB keyboards, mice, joysticks, printers, scanners, modems, or other USB devices to a single USB port on your Mac or PC. And, like all Belkin USB hubs, the BusStation is fully compliant with USB specifications and compatible with all USB devices. But best of all, the BusStation is modular! This makes its design uniquely customizable. Simply slide the USB port module out of the BusStation, and you have room to snap in one of the many available Belkin USB modules, including SCSI ports, Ethernet ports, and serial ports for PCs and Macintosh computers. You can even remove a single USB port from the BusStation, and replace it with a 4-port hub, adding three more downstream USB ports!By adding modules to the BusStation, you can have your own custom-configured multi-function USB hub right at your fingertips! Configure it to fit your own personal needs, with the ports you actually use, instead of whatever pre-set combination other manufacturers think you should want. Add and subtract ports whenever you want - because it's USB, you don't even need to shut down your computer. Belkin offers a complete range of modules, each of which work either by themselves as a stand-alone product, or in combination with the BusStation . New modules are continuously being developed to make sure that the BusStation fills all of your USB and port expansion needs - both today and in the future. With the Belkin BusStation, technology will never leave you behind.
1 Handy 7 port hub
I purchased this because I needed more ports, as I plan to get onto DSL next month. The color does match my iMac very well. I had been using an Aten hub that is self powered,(no electrical plugin needed) so was surprised 1. at the size (quite large), and 2. at the need to be plugged in. Otherwise it was easy to hook up and start using it.

Perfect for any one with more than one USB item. Connection is as easy as plugging in the AC cord and connecting it to the computer USB port. No software installation required. The silver color of the hub isn't a perfect match to the graphite color of the G4; however, it is close enough of a match to not worry about. Aside from the minor color issue, the only negative comment I have is that the included USB A/USB B cable is only 3 feet long. This means that you practically have to keep the hub on top of the computer. I would have given this 5 stars if it had a 6 foot long USB A/USB B cable.
