LINDY Launches USB 3.0 Hub For SuperSpeed Access to Peripherals

We announced today a 4 Port USB 3.0 Desktop Hub, that enables users to easily access their SuperSpeed USB 3.0 peripherals and take advantage of data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps.

With no extra drivers required, this plug and play hub is simple to set-up and USB 3.0 devices can be hot swapped if required. The LINDY USB 3.0 Hub features LED indicators for power and link status and uses the VIA VL810 chipset, which, in addition to other power management features, is the first USB hub controller to use advanced 80nm CMOS technology lowering the chip's power usage.

File sizes are growing constantly as users increase their use of multimedia, which means it’s not just large data files going to the printer but to external back-up drives, memory card readers and blu-ray burners. So it makes sense to take advantage of SuperSpeed USB that delivers ten times the throughput of USB 2.0 and our latest hub lets users expand the number of ports available to them quickly and easily.

Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, the LINDY 4 Port USB 3.0 Desktop Hub has an integrated 0.5m USB 3.0 A Cable and a 5V 3A multi-country power supply unit. It is compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000, LINUX Kernel 2.6.3.1 and above.
