LINDY 42986 4 Port USB 2.0 Hub - 480Mbps, Bus-Powered
The LINDY 42986 4 Port USB 2.0 Hub is a compact desktop hub for users who need to connect multiple USB peripherals to a single port. It delivers up to 480 Mbps data transfer and works with any USB Type A equipped computer, running entirely from bus power with an optional external supply socket for high-draw devices.
Why this product
Four USB 2.0 ports from one
Expands a single USB port into four, each supporting full USB 2.0 HighSpeed bandwidth (480 Mbps). Backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0 devices.
Bus-powered with optional external supply
Draws power from the USB bus by default. If you connect devices that draw more than the bus can supply, a 3.5/1.35mm DC jack lets you attach an external 5V power supply.
Plug and Play, no drivers
Installs instantly on any USB Type A equipped computer without requiring software. Works out of the box.
Compact aluminium housing
Measures just 32 × 85 × 11 mm and weighs 62 g, with a 700 mm fixed cable. Sits neatly on a desk or behind a monitor.

- Carries CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH and CP65 certification.
- The fixed 700 mm cable cannot be detached or replaced; the hub connects directly to your computer via this cable length.
- Each of the four ports supports USB 2.0 speeds, but total bandwidth is shared across all four ports and the single upstream connection.
Best for
- Desktop setups where you need to connect multiple USB peripherals but have limited ports
- Users who want Plug and Play convenience with zero driver installation
- Professional and first-time users alike; the hub requires no technical knowledge to deploy
- Low-power devices like keyboards, mice, and small memory sticks that draw current from the USB bus
Trade-offs
- High-speed data transfer; USB 2.0 maxes out at 480 Mbps, which is much slower than USB 3.x hubs
- Portable or mobile use; the cable is fixed at 700 mm and cannot be replaced or detached
- Connecting multiple power-hungry peripherals without an external power supply; the bus alone may not deliver enough current
- Modern laptops with only USB-C ports; this hub requires a USB Type A port
The Lindy 4 Port USB 2.0 Hub allows the user to connect 4 additional peripherals to a USB Type A equipped computer. Capable of data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps, the hub is also backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0.
The hub is powered by the USB Bus, while a DC jack is available to connect an external power supply if multiple devices with high power requirements are connected.
With 'Plug and Play' installation, no drivers are required, therefore this hub can be installed with minimum difficulty, ideal for both professional and first time users.
