By Jenny • Dec 10th, 2008 • Category: Mobile Computing Accessory NewsCyberPower has rolled out a new 4 port USB hub called CP-H420MP which has a built-in rechargeable battery pack. It is a small and sleek device that offers high speed USB 2.0 connectivity and enhances the functionality of your PC, laptop, notebook and netbook by providing additional 4 ports to connect your peripherals, all at the same time. The best part of this USB hub is unlike other legacy hubs it is optimised for high speed data transfer and integrity. It offers a connectivity of up to 480Mbps, i.e. 40 times faster than its counterparts.
Besides this the CyberPower CP-H420MP is dual speed compatible and can be used to connect USB 2.0 compliant peripherals, as well as those which follow USB 1.1 specifications. The rechargeable battery pack integrated with the hub provides all the energy to the hub for its operations. If the battery is not fully charged then it automatically recharges itself as soon as you connect the CyberPower CP-H420MP with your PC. And yes, like the other USB hubs this one also supports Plug and Play (PnP) function. That means that you can connect the CyberPower CP-H420MP with your PC anytime or disconnect it without rebooting the PC. Essentially the accessory is perfect for devices with very few USB ports, such as certain laptops or a netbook. An LED is also embedded into the hub which turns on to notify whether the device is successfully connected or not.
