D-Link hubs and bridges are hi-speed USB 2.0 and  backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1. A D-Link hub or bridge provides an out of the box industry standard that allows connection of up to seven USB peripherals or devices to your USB ready PC or Mac. D-Link hubs and bridges are targeted at PC and Mac users that are expanding the number of USB ports on their system. Designed to provide quick and easy access, a D-Link hub and bridge provides seven type "A" downstream ports for connecting USB peripherals, devices, or other USB hubs.

A single type "B" upstream port connects the D-Link USB hub to the host computer or another USB hub, enabling up to 127 devices to be connected by cascading multiple hubs. Configured directly by the operating system, the D-Link hubs and bridges operate seamlessly with both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh Operating Systems. As a standard USB hub, the D-Link hubs and bridges buffer USB data from any attached peripheral in compliance with USB specifications to provide an invisible extension of the USB bus. Supporting both low speed (1.5Mbps and 12Mbps) and hi-speed (480Mbps) devices, each port creates a bridge between the peripheral and host computer. Diagnostic LEDs provide port status for each port and power status.
