The USB & Firewire hub for the discerning desktop
Plenty of connections to go around... your room

Connect your USB 2.0 devices to your computer at up to 480 Mbps, or your legacy USB 1.1 devices at up to a full 12 Mbps per channel. PaperHub uses the Cypress TetraHub controller chip to dedicate a fast, 12 Mbps channel to each USB 1.1 device instead of sharing one channel like other hubs.
