This one gives every port its own switch, so the things you are not using are genuinely off rather than merely ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe chose it because it solves a small problem properly. The sockets are spaced far enough apart that a wide memory stick does not block its neighbours, and the run of cable is long enough to bring a desktop's back-panel ports round to where your hands are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it earns its place\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut power to one device without unplugging anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee what is live at a glance, rather than guessing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings the ports to the front of the desk, where they are usable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is USB 2.0. That makes it the right hub for a mouse, keyboard, headset, dongle or memory stick, and the wrong one for moving large files off a fast external drive. A single bus-powered drive is usually fine; several power-hungry devices at once may ask for more than the computer can supply. Choose four ports for a laptop, seven for a desk that has become the centre of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe essentials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour or seven ports, each individually switched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 2.0 · USB-A to USB-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e105 × 16 × 22 mm · 80 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack or white · works with Windows and macOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Caelix","offers":[{"title":"7 ports, White","offer_id":51249308303527,"sku":"14:29#7 Ports","price":11.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 ports, Black","offer_id":51249308336295,"sku":"14:193#7 Ports","price":11.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 ports, White","offer_id":51249308369063,"sku":"14:350853#4 Ports","price":10.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 ports, Black","offer_id":51249308401831,"sku":"14:94#4 Ports","price":10.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/0077\/8663\/files\/S952f13c880804325aca2e5e8d85eba54q.webp?v=1787657107","url":"https:\/\/caelixtech.com\/products\/usb-2-0-hub-individual-switches","provider":"Caelix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
