Introduction

UIH-420 is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub,

which is an USB cable concentrator and a

bridge between PC’s PCI interface and USB

devices. With UIH-420, there is no need to

concern about IRQ conflicts or system re-

source allocations any more.

UIH-420 supports USB 2.0 high speed of

480Mbps and USB 1.1 full speed (12Mbps)

and low speed (1.5Mbps). Through the four

type-A downstream ports, up to 127 USB de-

vices can be connected with just plug and play.

UIH-420 is the ideal way to make use of USB

2.0 technology.
