USB Splitter Cords

A USB splitting cord or cable, sometimes called a USB hub, belongs to computer peripheral products, which can divide a port or device into different other devices. Common methods are connecting a computer with a keyboard, a mouse, a printer and a scanner for office work, connecting a TV and a sound system for entertainment, and even connecting multiple USB flash drives for data copying and backup. And vice versa, connecting other ports to a device.

It saves you from the fatigue of switching back and forth between various devices, is more efficient and convenient, and will not let the distance affect the normal operation of each connected device. It will not add too much pressure to the computer, because a transformer will be installed inside. Moreover, its shell is made of various safe materials, such as nickel plating, zinc plating or adding zinc alloy, which makes the USB Splitting Cord more durable.

The fastest speed is 5Gbps, which allows you to transfer files and other data smoothly, improve work efficiency, support various versions of the system, and plug and play. However, inferior splitters may slow down the transmission speed or lead to unstable connections. Our high-performance USB 3.0 splitter cord has an independent power adapter to ensure that each connected device can get enough power, which is very important for maintaining high-speed transmission. However, the actual speed is usually affected by many factors, including equipment performance, splitter quality, system configuration and operating environment. In order to obtain the best performance, it is recommended to use high-quality splitters and cables and ensure that the connected devices and systems support the USB 3.0 standard.

Useful products can help you to enjoy a fast life, enjoy high efficiency.

Yes. This depends on the following factors: for example, the power output of the USB port in the car, the power consumption of the equipment, the quality of the splitter, data transmission and so on. The USB port in the car usually provides 5V voltage. If the USB port in the car can only provide 1A current, and you connect two devices that need 500mA each, it is feasible. But if you connect two devices that need 1A each, it may lead to insufficient power supply. If you are connected to a USB flash drive, Bluetooth adapter, etc., that is ok, but if you are connected to a mobile phone, tablet computer, etc., there may be a problem of insufficient power supply, resulting in the equipment not working normally or the charging speed slowing down. It is recommended that you choose a high-quality USB splitter to ensure that it can distribute power and data transmission stably. For example, our USB splitter cord, click to buy, which will make you have a good time in the car easily!

The allocation times of USB ports vary greatly due to the differences in USB standards, power supply capacity and equipment compatibility. We can split a USB port through our USB splitter cord. It can be split up to 127 times, but the actual number and effect of splitting will be affected by many factors. For example, USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 also follow similar device number restrictions, but due to their higher data transmission rate and better power management, the actual use experience will be better. Or, you can use a USB splitter cord with an independent power adapter to ensure a stable power supply, and try to distribute high-bandwidth equipment and high-power equipment to different hubs to optimise performance.

You’d better use a cascade of no more than 3 hubs in practical application because this can ensure stability and performance. If you need to connect a large number of devices, it is recommended to use active hubs and ensure that each hub and device are compatible.

Yes, USB 3.0 and above support two-way data transmission, which means that data can be transmitted between two devices, but the specific implementation still needs the support of devices and cables. USB-C cable usually supports bidirectional data transmission and power supply. In short, traditional USB cables are usually unidirectional, but modern USB standards support bidirectional data transmission and power supply, including USB-C and USB 3.0.

If you need to share a USB device between multiple computers, you can use a USB switch, which allows you to manually switch the control of USB devices between multiple computers. You can also use a network USB hub, which allows you to share USB devices through the network, allows multiple computers to access a device, and allows you to control multiple computers with a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Some models also support the switching of USB peripherals.

Yes. Any USB splitter cord will affect the performance, probably because of the bandwidth limitation. If you buy USB 2.0, its maximum bandwidth is 480 Mbps, while that of USB 3.0 is 5 Gbps. If you connect multiple devices through a splitter, these devices will share the bandwidth of the same USB port. The more devices are connected, the less bandwidth is available for each device.

Secondly, the power supply problem, if the power supply is insufficient, it will affect the performance. At last, different devices, such as keyboards and mice, have low demand for broadband, but high-definition video cameras need more broadband.
