A lot of people who don't know about these products may wonder what is the difference between a USB hub and a splitter? Splitter is a hub? In fact, the USB splitter is a USB hub, just called differently. What is a USB hub or what is a USB splitter? It's an electronic product that divides a computer's one USB port into multiple USB ports that can be connected to more USB devices.

Briefly, the USB hub can be divided into: passive, passive, hybrid three.

Can passive: the connected network media on the signal regeneration and amplification of the role of the media can be connected to the length of the maximum effective length, the need for power to work, most of the current HUB for this type.

Passive: only act as a connector, do not need power to work, the market has been rare.

Hybrid: Can connect multiple types of cables. Such as the same shaft and twisted pair, etc.

The role of USB hubs, USB hubs are sometimes integrated into other devices such as keyboards, monitors, printers or the front of computer cases. In practice, when a computer host has multiple USB ports, they all come from one or two primary USB ports inside the host, rather than separate hardware from each other. In theory, up to 127 peripheral devices can be connected to a single primary USB port.

One difference to note, that is, the current is different, usually a USB interface 0.5 A. It is divided equally among an interface, the more devices inserted, the smaller the current of a single port, and it is easy to drag the large-capacity devices, such as hard disk. In terms of price, the more expensive the USB hub is the better, there are coils to amplify, access to the device has little impact. Fast speed, each USB interface also does not affect each other. 2.0 and 3.0 difference is the transmission speed, if the computer interface for 3.0, then you need to connect the 3.0 to be able to play high-speed.
