Adafruit USB 2.0 and Ethernet Hub - 3 USB Ports and 1 Ethernet

One can never have enough socks or USB ports. Add some more USB and Ethernet capability to your Raspberry Pi or, really, any kind of computer with this USB 2.0 and Ethernet Hub. This handy combo-hub features 3 USB 2.0 ports and an AX88760 Ethernet transceiver.

This chipset is widely compatible and can be seamlessly used with any Linux, Mac, or Windows computer. It's especially useful for devices like the Raspberry Pi A+ or the new Raspberry Pi Zero, which are limited on USB ports and lack Ethernet connectivity. During basic tests, it achieved an impressive 11+ MB/s transfer speeds on a Pi Zero.

Please note that the Ethernet function demands additional power, with a current draw of 280mA when the hub is connected, even if the Ethernet is not actively in use. For those needing a similar Ethernet hub for a computer with a micro USB OTG port, there are alternative products available. Additional USB cables and accessories are not included but can be easily found in the store.
