USB Type B Female Computer Hub/Splitter Boxes

Enjoy Easy Transferring of Data With USB Type B Female Hub/Splitter Box

Everybody needs more USB ports. They're the primary way to charge phones and other electronics, and they make transferring data easy. It's simple to increase the number of ports with a USB splitter/hub.

How many devices can a splitter charge?

The answer to this question depends on a few factors. If the hub does not have its own power supply, it can typically charge up to seven devices at a time. When using the maximum number of ports, each one will reach full power more slowly. If the USB hub has its own power supply that plugs into a traditional outlet, it can charge as many attachments as it has ports. They will not charge slowly even if you use every port at the same time.

What is the difference between USB B and C?

USB B is the traditional, flat USB port that most devices use. Your smartphone charges with USB B. USB C is a newer iteration of USB, and it uses a slot with a different size and shape. While USB C can transmit data and power much in the same way as USB B, it's often easier to think of them as entirely different plug types. There are converters to make the two work together, but USB B is still far and away the most common connection type for most electronic devices.

What is the difference between 2.0 and 3.0?

This number designates different types of USB B ports and plugs. The data rates and voltages supported by each are different. In general, 3.0 can exchange data faster and charge peripherals faster. It's also worth noting that the two types are reverse compatible, so even if your numbers don't match, everything will work. When you do mix and match different USB interfaces, the lowest rated component will be the limiting factor. For example, if you attach two USB 3.0 devices but use a USB 2.0 cable, the entire connection will function at the 2.0 level. Additionally, you can easily identify which type is in use at a glance. USB 2.0 interfaces are black while 3.0 is colored blue.

Can you mix and match brands?

Yes. USB technology is internationally standardized. There is no single brand or proprietary design that would prevent compatible components from working together. As long as everything connected is using USB or you are using an appropriate converter, you can expect the connection to work.

How many types of USB are there?

There are four types of USB that each come in multiple formats:

  • Standard: Standard is known as "USB A and B" and range from 1.0 to 3.2. All are reverse compatible.
  • Mini: Mini has a smaller connecting port and is common among handheld electronics. It is only available in 2.0.
  • Micro: Micro is the smallest connection type. It is available in 2.0 and 3.0.
  • Full duplex: Full duplex is also known as "Type C." It only exists in a 3.0+ format.
