There are devices that can be connected to computers and laptops using an USB cord. The USB outlet is also used in charging devices such as mobiles and iPods. But the computer has limited ports and you can use only 2 to 3 device at a time. But this problem is solved with usb hub. This is a device which is used to expand a single port for USB to multiple ports.

The USB ports are used frequently today by most users, even if remotely interested with gadgets and gizmos. You may have a keyboard, a mouse, a printer and a data device to connect to the computer but you have only two ports. You can simply add a usb hub with 4 outlets that will allow you to connect all these things simultaneously. The universal serial bus device was first introduced in 90s for general computer communication purpose but today it is used widely enough and when you purchase a computer it is must to purchase a USB hub. Today there are devices that work with USB that could not be imagined just a few years back. For example coffee warmer and lights today works with USB ports and chargers. Some USB ports are closely placed allowing you to only use 2 points out of four if the plug width is wide. There are bus power hubs which take its power from the computer and do not need any other power connection. But it is not useful for all the devices that use more power than what computer can provide. The current allocation in USB hub range from 100 ma to 500 ma but not more. Contrary to this the self power hub takes power from external power source and it can provide 500ma to each port in use.
