Apacer PH150 4-Port USB Hub

PH150 Magic USB Hub Rotating Ports Give New freedom
Innovative rotating port design and bright colors bring fun to any desktop

PH150 magic USB hub is an innovative 4-port USB 2.0 solution with two rotatable ports that gives users more freedom to connect devices. Made of durable aluminum alloy, two of its four USB ports rotate 90 or 180 degrees, letting larger, bulkier USB devices connect from different directions. The PH150 Magic USB hub's bright red, orange, yellow, green and blue colors bring life to any desktop. Gone are the days of one USB device blocking two side-by-side USB ports. The PH150 USB extension hub is both useful and fun!

Along with the fun comes great functionality as well. Backwards compatible with USB 1.1 specification, the PH150 provides up to 480 Mbps transfer rate that is 40 times faster than USB 1.1, giving fast USB connectivity for PCs and notebooks. Although the PH150 can be used most of the time without need of an external power source, an optional power adapter is available for USB devices that consume more power, such as CD-ROM/CD burners, external hard drives and printers. Over-current detection and protection is provided that limits the amount of current a USB peripheral can draw, which helps prevent system crashes and increases PC system stability. The PH150 is also plug-and-play compatible and supports hot-swapping function.

The PH150 is small enough to take along if you want. Its tough aluminum alloy construction makes it a solid, yet light device that can handle the punishment of everyday use. The PH150 Magic USB hub is a smart, innovative and colorful way to connect all your USB peripherals.

Notice
Never force a port to rotate. The 2 USB ports that rotate (red and orange port) only rotate 90 or 180 degrees in one direction. Please follow the arrow direction to rotate these ports. The hub will be damaged if you rotate these ports in the opposite direction.
