USB hub D‑Fruit DF144 USB‑A 4‑port powered hub, USB 3.0 compatible

D‑Fruit DF144 USB‑A 4‑port powered hub expands a single USB port into four standard USB‑A connections while supporting USB 3.0 data rates and remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. The compact, plug‑and‑play design enables connection of multiple peripherals such as flash drives, external hard drives, keyboards, mice and other USB accessories. A powered design provides additional current to connected devices, helping power bus‑hungry peripherals and reducing reliance on host port power.

Advantages

The hub offers four full‑size USB‑A ports with support for USB 3.0 speeds, enabling faster file transfers when connected to compatible hosts and devices. Backward compatibility ensures older USB 2.0/1.1 peripherals work without additional adapters. Its powered operation supplies stable power to connected devices, improving reliability for external storage and devices with higher current draw. The compact enclosure and single cable connection make it easy to carry and set up in home, office or travel environments.

How to use

Connect the hub’s upstream USB‑A cable to an available USB port on a computer or host device. Plug peripheral devices into the hub’s four USB‑A ports. If an external power adapter is provided or required, connect it to the hub to enable full powered operation and ensure sufficient current for external drives or other high‑power devices. The device is plug‑and‑play on most operating systems and does not normally require driver installation.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, connect high‑speed storage devices and USB 3.0 peripherals to the hub while the hub is attached to a USB 3.0 host port. Use the external power input when connecting multiple power‑hungry devices to prevent undervoltage or disconnects. Avoid excessive cable bending and keep the hub in a ventilated location during extended transfers.
