USB 2.0 Mobile Mini Hub
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus Noteworthy
USB 2.0 Mobile Mini Hub. This ultra portable mini hub is
USB 2.0 compliant and connects to a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) port on your desktop or notebook computer.
The mini hub has four ports for connecting USB (high-speed
2.0 or standard 1.1) devices to your computer. One or more of
these devices can be additional hubs. You can daisy-chain up to
127 USB (high-speed 2.0 or standard 1.1) devices to your
computer in this way.
The mini hub also provides a maximum bandwidth of 480
Mbps, which enables you to connect devices that consume a
large amount of bandwidth, such as an external storage device,
printer, scanner, DVD or CD-RW drive or digital camera, to
your computer.
In addition to this user’s guide, this package contains the USB
2.0 Mobile Mini Hub, a high-speed USB 2.0 cable and an AC
power adapter and cord.
