The hub supports Hi-Speed (HS), Full Speed (FS) and Low Speed (LS). The new SuperSpeed hubs operates in parallel with the USB 2.0 controllers, so that 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6 x USB3.1 Active Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis device has 6 x USB 3.1 Ports. All ports are backwards compatible with USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 devices. In addition to this, each port can deliver up to 2.5 A of current. There is a smart current limit sensor in every port which automatically limits or cuts power in case of a short-wire or power consumption that is above 2.5 A. Each port is monitored by the USB controller and in case of a current limit, it triggers a warning popup in the operating system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA high quality robust, blue anodised aluminum enclosure houses the electronics of the USB hub.
