A USB hub is an essential accessory for expanding the number of available USB ports on your computer or laptop. It functions like a power strip for USB devices, allowing you to connect a mouse, keyboard, printer, external hard drives, USB flash drives, and much more simultaneously. A distinction is made between passive and active USB hubs. Passive hubs are compact and draw their power directly from the computer. They are well suited for devices with low power requirements. Active hubs, on the other hand, have their own power supply. This makes them ideal for devices that require more power, such as external hard drives or smartphones that need to be charged via the hub. An active hub ensures a stable power supply, thus preventing performance degradation or connection drops.
