Do you know what a USB hub is used for?   Laptops, desktops and notebooks have built-in USB ports. Thanks to them we can connect to the computer, among others, smartphone, external drive or necessary accessories such as a mouse and keyboard. However, the number of USB ports in each device is limited and very often insufficient for comfortable use. Then it is worth reaching for a solution, which is a USB hub.   USB Hub – what is it? USB hub is a small USB distributor. After connecting it to your computer you can immediately use additional USB inputs. Thanks to that you can easily and comfortably connect other accessories and gadgets to your device. On the market you will find many different types of USB splitters. They differ in size, parameters, as well as the number of slots. Check what else you should know about them.   USB Hub – passive or active?   USB splitter works immediately after connecting to a computer or laptop and does not require any additional installation or configuration. There are two basic types of USB hubs available on the market, these are:     Passive USB hub. This type of splitter takes power directly from the USB port. You can plug in basic devices such as    a keyboard or external memory. It is very important that additional gadgets cannot consume more than 500 mA of current. Otherwise, it will be necessary to disconnect one of the accessories. An unquestionable advantage of this type of USB splitters is their low price and high availability.   Active USB hub. It allows to connect additional accessories with higher current consumption. Unlike its predecessor, the active USB hub has an additional DC power connector. It is used to connect an external power source, which will meet the increased energy needs of the connected devices. Therefore, its design is slightly larger, but it opens up more possibilities for the user.   What else to look for when choosing a USB hub?   In order to ensure high comfort of using additional computer accessories, it is worth taking a close look at the parameters of a given USB hub. Its type is important – passive or active. Additionally the standard of the USB connector is very important. The speed of data transmission depends on it. Splitters with USB type A and USB type C connectors are available with standards USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.0), USB 3.2 Gen 2 (formerly USB 3.1), as well as USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (formerly USB 3.2). You should choose a connector that matches the built-in USB ports of your laptop or desktop computer. Don’t forget about the number of additional ports either. This is one of the most important parameters for all types of hubs. Depending on the brand and manufacturer the most common splitters have from 3 to 8 slots. It is also worth knowing that there is a possibility to connect splitters together, which gives the possibility to plug in really many additional gadgets.   Multifunctional USB hub Apart from traditional USB splitters we can also meet with multifunctional solutions. Such splitters apart from standard USB ports are equipped among others with video sockets (HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA), memory card readers and RJ45 network connectors. All this gives the user even more possibilities in case of lack of some ports in the computer.    USB Hub 3.0 and 2.0   The most important difference between a USB 2.0 port and a USB 3.0 (and newer) port is the data transfer speed. Both inputs visually look very similar, but their distinction can significantly affect the comfort and convenience of using connected devices. When buying a USB hub, it is worth choosing one that will work stably and smoothly with your computer. USB 2.0 is an older standard with a data writing speed of up to 30MB per second. The 3.0 version, on the other hand, reaches speeds of up to 625 Mb per second. So when choosing a USB hub, it’s worth checking which port your computer is equipped with. However, you need to know that if you have a USB 2.0 port, you can safely reach for the USB 3.0 hub. These connectors are compatible with previous USB standards. What’s more, modern solutions ensure that if you connect it to an older port, the speed of data transfer will be adjusted to the capabilities of the device. In case you want to replace your computer with a new one, a USB 3.0 hub will definitely fit it.    When is it worth investing in a USB splitter? A USB hub is an extremely useful gadget that has a wide range of applications. Splitters are a great solution for everyone, who at least once decided that his PC, laptop or tablet has too few USB inputs. With notebooks or small personal computers it also happens that the USB sockets are mounted very close to each other, which significantly impedes the free use. Then a USB splitter comes to rescue. An additional advantage of USB hubs is that they are not too expensive, especially if you decide to buy a passive solution. What’s more, the accessories do not have the slightest impact on the quality and speed of the USB port they are plugged into. So you can use it without any worries!

Safety Tips for Charging Your Smartphone As we use smartphones more and more frequently, we may get anxious about phones with low battery easily. We lose a sense of security when our phone battery drops below 50%. To feel at ease, we had to carry a power bank or charger in many cases. When it comes to charging a smartphone, how do we ensure its safety?   Possible Hidden Dangers When Charging Smartphones:   The smartphone charger has been plugged into the socket for a long time and has been kept powered. You may feel an electric shock when charging your phone the next time. And it also can lead to sparks and fires.        2.Make calls or use your phone while your phone is charging.    When your smartphone is charging, the voltage is higher than when it is on standby. If other operations, such as calling, are carried out simultaneously, it is easy to damage the internal parts.   If an unqualified battery or charger is used, and the charging environment is poor, such as high temperature, humidity, etc., it is not uncommon for the battery to explode.    Use a counterfeit or poor-quality charger.Suppose the charger you are using is not produced by a regular manufacturer and does not meet safety standards. In that case, in addition to reducing the service life of the mobile phone battery, it may also cause leakage and battery explosion, causing greater safety hazards.          2.Operating the charger when hands are wet. Touching the charger with wet hands is at risk of leakage.    Safety Tips for Charging Your Smartphone As mentioned above, there are various hazards in charging a smartphone. Now, let’s discuss what we can do to avoid these dangers.   1.Use a Genuine Charger That Meets Safety Standards To a certain extent, purchasing electronic products online from the official website, official flagship stores, and third-party stores with safety standard certification can greatly ensure the quality and safety of the product. The smartphone charger is frequently used in our daily use of electrical products, which must guarantee that it meets UK and EU safety standards.   2.Avoid Cheap Chargers You may be used to shopping online, and mobile phone chargers are no exception. The shopping website is inundated with good and bad products. After several comparisons, you have finally chosen an extremely cheap charger that lacks quality and safety in terms of quality and safety.   However, this counterfeit and shoddy charger not only shortens the battery life of your smartphone, but it will create danger when you charge your smartphone, like an explosion, fire, etc.   3.Do Not Use Chargers with Broken Connectors Frayed cable? Wobbly plug pins? Loose connections? Wait, one of these problems appears on your smartphone charger. Please buy a new charger immediately. A badly worn or damaged charger can easily leak electricity and pose a fire.   4.Do Not Cover Your Charger or Smartphone when Charging As we all know, the charger and smartphone are slightly hot when charging. If we put something to cover them, they probably fail to dissipate heat in time to cause an explosion.   5.Don’t Charge Overnight Although today’s smartphones mostly use lithium batteries, which automatically power off when fully charged. It’s still dangerous to leave a hot charger on the power outlet overnight. Especially after you fall asleep, your alertness will decrease. It will be difficult for you to take action in the event of an explosion, fire, or other danger.   6.Unplug the Charger in Time After Charging This tip is like the one mentioned above about being unable to leave a charger plugged in overnight. Your smartphone will go into standby mode after being fully charged. This mode will also consume power and then continue to charge.   This repeated process will not only shorten the life of the battery but may also cause an explosion. Therefore, don’t plug the charger with your smartphone into the power outlet all the time. It is necessary and also important to unplug the charger in time when charging is finished.    7.Don’t Overload Charging Sockets Have you ever plugged more than one power-consuming device into one socket? That’s dangerous. Sockets running under overload conditions are prone to damage or heat and ageing power supply lines, leaving a fire hazard. If you plug your phone into such an overloaded outlet, it’s enough to imagine that it will indirectly cause a chain explosion of your phone charger and smartphone.   How to Charge Your Phone Properly? According to the above charging skills, we can conclude these steps:   Use an intact charger that meets the safety standard in the normal load socket.   Plug the charger with dry hands.   Unplug the smartphone full of charge in time.
