USB(通用串行总线(Universal Serial Bus))集线器曾经在许多电脑桌上很常见,但由于无线技术的兴起,今天已经不那么普遍了。人们更有可能使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)或云来共享文件,这很好。
此外,一些用户决定使用单根 USB(USB)线传输文件,这与技术速度的提高有关。我们可以比以往更快地完成工作,尤其是使用USB Type-C时。现在(Were)不打算详述过去,而是USB集线器如何仍然证明对每个拥有计算机的人非常有用,或者只是一些。
USB 端口类型
USB 端口有两种类型:
- USB 端口(USB Ports):它们没有外部电源,只能从计算机的USB端口供电。
- 供电 USB 端口(Powered USB Ports):它们使用外部电源将每个集线器端口带到相同的能量水平。
您需要 USB 集线器吗?
在两种情况下,我们认为您可能需要USB 集线器(USB Hub)。如果您不确定,请继续阅读,因为这篇文章为您的理解解释了很多。
- 一次为多台设备充电
- 拥有一台笔记本电脑?那么你可能需要一个集线器
1]一次为多台设备充电
如果您想同时为多个设备充电,那么USB集线器是您的最佳选择之一。为此,您将需要有源USB集线器的服务。这个是插入主电源的,因此,用户一次为他们的几个小工具充电应该没有问题。
对于携带大量需要充电的设备四处走动的人来说,此时USB可能是最好的选择。无线充电还没有真正准备好,所以现在,坚持使用电线。
2]拥有(Own)一台笔记本电脑?那么你可能需要一个集线器
您会发现大多数笔记本电脑或平板电脑用户倾向于在他们的办公桌或包中安装USB集线器。(USB)造成这种情况的主要原因与这些小型计算机设备上有限的USB插头有很大关系。(USB)作为补偿,如果您必须同时连接多个硬件,则需要使用USB集线器。(USB)
使用笔记本电脑时,您可能必须添加USB鼠标和完整的USB键盘才能获得最佳体验。这两个设备可能会用完整个可用端口,因此其他设备需要一个集线器。

为什么您可能不需要 USB 集线器
有两种情况您可能不需要USB 集线器(USB Hub):
- 你有额外的端口
- 你已经无线了
1] 有额外的端口吗?
如果您的笔记本电脑上有额外的USB端口,则无需投资集线器。更不用说,如今的无线路由器也往往带有几个USB端口,所以如果你想给设备充电,那就用那个吧。
对于那些使用端口有限的桌面的人,那么如何检查显示器上的端口呢?今天的许多显示器都带有一个或多个 USB 端口,所以请环顾四周,看看您是幸运还是不幸。
2]你有无线吗?
选择无线路由意味着您几乎不需要USB集线器。如今,通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)传输文件是许多人正在做的事情,所以你并不孤单。此外,还可以通过 Wi-Fi 网络连接其他机器。
就目前而言,完全无线化还不是每个人的选择,但随着每一代技术的进步,它正在慢慢变得如此。
Do you need a USB hub? Reasons why you may need one, or not!
USB (Uniνеrsal Serial Bus) hubs werе onсe very common on many сomputer desks, but not so much today due to thе rise of wireless technology. Рeople are more likely to use Bluetooth or the сloud to share files, and that’s fine.
Additionally, some users are decided to use a single USB cord for transferring files, and that has everything to do with the increased speed of the tech. We can get things done much faster than ever before, especially with USB Type-C. Were not going to dwell on the past right now, but rather how a USB hub could still prove to be very useful for everyone with a computer, or just some.
Types of USB Ports
There are two types of USB Ports:
- USB Ports: They do not have an external power source and can only pull power from the computer’s USB port.
- Powered USB Ports: They use an external power source to bring each hub port to the same energy level.
Do you need a USB hub?

Why you might not need a USB hub
There are two scenarios where you might not need a USB Hub:
- You have extra ports
- You have gone wireless
1] Have extra ports?
If you have additional USB ports on your laptop computer, then there is no need for you to invest in a hub. Not to mention, wireless routers these days, tend to come packed with a few USB ports as well, so if you want to charge a device, well, use that.

2] Have you gone wireless?
Choosing the wireless route means you have little need for a USB hub. Transferring files over Bluetooth is what many folks are doing these days, so you’re not alone. Furthermore, it is possible to connect other machines across your Wi-Fi network as well.
As it stands right now, going fully wireless is not yet an option for everyone, but it is slowly becoming so as the technology improves with each generation.
