USB 2.0 Swivel Hub 4-Port DIGITUS DA70220 — 480 Mbit/s, Black

DIGITUS USB 2.0 Swivel Hub 4-Port DA70220 is a compact, black USB hub that expands a single USB port to four downstream USB A ports while supporting data transfer rates up to 480 Mbit/s according to the USB 2.0 standard. The integrated swivel connectors allow each port and the integrated USB A male plug to be rotated about 180 degrees, enabling flexible orientation and direct connection to a laptop or desktop without an extra cable. The hub is finished in a soft-touch material, includes a status LED, and offers a connector for an optional external power supply. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 and supports Hot-Plug and Plug-and-Play operation.

Advantages

The swivel design provides flexible cable orientation and reduces strain on connectors when multiple peripherals are attached. Its space-saving form factor and integrated male plug make it convenient for direct, cable-free connection to notebooks. Soft-touch material gives a discreet, low-reflective surface while the status LED provides a clear visual indication of activity. Compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ensures broad device support and Plug-and-Play operation simplifies setup.

Suitable for

• Connecting keyboards and mice to a laptop or desktop
• Attaching printers, scanners or other office peripherals
• Connecting external storage devices such as USB flash drives or portable HDD/SSD (subject to device power requirements)
• Expanding available USB ports for presentations and mobile workstations

How to use

Plug the integrated USB A male connector directly into an available USB port on your computer or attach via a compatible adapter if required. Rotate the hub and the individual downstream ports as needed to achieve the desired cable orientation. Connect USB peripherals to the downstream USB A ports. If connected devices require additional power, attach an appropriate external power supply to the hub's power connector before using high-power peripherals such as some external hard drives.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the hub on a stable surface and avoid forcing the swivel connectors beyond their rotation range. When connecting power-hungry devices, use the optional external power supply to ensure sufficient current for all connected peripherals. Ensure the host system supports USB 2.0 for maximum transfer speeds; USB 1.1 hosts will operate at lower data rates.
