Product Description
Sabrent 4‑Port Powered USB 3.0 Hub
The Sabrent 4‑Port Powered USB 3.0 Hub (HB‑UMP3) expands a single USB 3.0 connection into four independent ports. Each port is equipped with an individual LED power switch that allows users to control the power supplied to each connected device. The hub is powered by a dedicated 5 V/2.5 A adapter that plugs into a PC or Mac system. This configuration ensures that each attached device receives reliable power without drawing from the computer’s bus, reducing the risk of voltage drops when multiple peripherals are connected.

- Individual LED Power Switches – Toggle power to each port independently, offering control over which devices receive power.
- Dedicated 5 V/2.5 A Power Adapter – Provides external power, preventing overloading of the host computer’s USB bus.
- Compatible with PC and Mac – Designed to work with both Windows and macOS operating systems.
- USB 3.0 Speeds – Supports high‑speed data transfer for peripherals such as external hard drives, flash drives, and keyboards.
Design and Build
The hub features a compact, low‑profile chassis that can be positioned on a desk or mounted under a monitor without obstructing airflow. The four ports are arranged side‑by‑side for easy access, while the LED indicators provide a clear visual status of each port’s power state. The adapter unit is detachable, allowing users to keep it on the side or store it for travel use.
Typical Applications
This hub is well suited for expanding the number of peripherals that a laptop or desktop can support. Users who need to connect multiple external storage devices, webcams, or other USB accessories will find the dedicated power supply and individual switches beneficial for managing device power consumption.
