USB hub BLOW model 461 — 4-port USB-A splitter (green ports)

Compact USB hub BLOW model 461 provides four USB-A ports to expand a single USB connection into multiple peripheral connections. The hub is a passive splitter intended for basic devices such as keyboards, mice, flash drives and other low-power USB accessories. Its lightweight and portable enclosure makes it suitable for use at home, in the office or while travelling when extra USB-A ports are required.

Advantages

The BLOW 461 hub offers a simple way to increase the number of available USB-A ports without installing drivers or using external power. Its straightforward passive design requires no configuration and is compatible with operating systems that support standard USB mass-storage and HID devices. The small footprint and low weight make it easy to carry and position next to a laptop or desktop computer.

Suitable for

• Connecting keyboards and mice
• Attaching USB flash drives and external storage (low-power devices)
• Using USB accessories such as webcams, headsets and charging cables for small devices
• Expanding port options for laptops, mini PCs and desktops

Key specifications

• Number of downstream ports: 4 × USB-A
• Port color coding: green ports
• Connection type: single upstream USB-A cable to host

• Form factor: compact and lightweight portable hub

How to use

Plug the hub’s upstream USB-A connector into an available USB port on your computer or compatible host device. Connect peripherals to any of the four downstream USB-A ports. Devices that require additional power may not function optimally with a passive splitter; ensure connected devices are within the host port’s power delivery capability. No drivers are typically required for standard keyboards, mice and flash drives; the operating system should recognize connected devices automatically.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the hub with low- to medium-power USB accessories. Avoid connecting multiple high-power devices such as external mechanical hard drives or power-hungry charging loads to the passive splitter. If you need to run several high-consumption peripherals simultaneously, consider using a powered hub or individual powered connections.
