INTRODUCTION  
En  
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Hi-Speed USB  
2.0 4-Port TetraHub (the Hub). The Hub provides four downstream USB  
ports that offer backward-compatible, Plug-and-Play connectivity with all  
USB devices, including USB 1.1 (or low- and full-speed) devices, as well  
as with USB 2.0 (or high-speed) devices. This includes such peripherals  
as scanners, printers, mass-storage devices, and high-resolution cameras.  
The Hub is self-powered, which allows the cascading of devices with  
additional hubs, so that up to 127 USB devices may be connected to a  
single port.  
The Hub features multicolor LEDs that indicate the operating speed of  
each connected USB device and the speed of the link to the host  
computer. For additional information, refer to the “Technical  
Specifications” section.  
The TetraHub offers several important advantages over traditional USB  
2.0 hubs. Most important is its implementation of the new “Quad TT”  
architecture. Simply stated, when connected to a USB 2.0 host  
controller, each of the TetraHub’s four downstream ports deliver a full  
12Mbps of USB bandwidth for low- and full-speed devices while still  
providing total support for high-speed devices. This is especially  
important when connecting multiple, bandwidth-intensive, full-speed  
devices such as USB webcams, speakers, scanners, and external storage  
devices.

INTRODUCTION  
In contrast, a traditional four-port USB 2.0 hub provides only 12Mbps of  
bandwidth for use by low- and full-speed devices, and this bandwidth is  
shared by each of the four ports. The TetraHub delivers up to 48Mbps of  
bandwidth, 12Mbps for each port!*  
In addition to the “Quad TT” feature, the TetraHub also monitors the  
speed of each connected device and provides users with a visual  
indication of its connected speed. Refer to the “Determining the Speed  
of Connected Devices” section of this User Manual for additional  
information.  
*In cases in which the TetraHub is connected to a USB 1.1 host  
controller, the maximum USB 1.1 bandwidth of 12 Mbps is shared across  
all four ports.

INSTALLATION  
En  
Important Note: Please do not connect any USB devices to the Hub until  
instructed to do so in step 4 of this installation  
procedure.  
1. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or surge suppressor. Plug the  
DC connector into the DC power jack found on the rear of the Hub.  
Note: The Hub may be used without the power supply with most USB  
devices  
2. Plug the flat end (USB-A connector) of the provided USB device cable  
into the downstream port of your computer or downstream port of  
another hub. Plug the square end (USB-B connector) into the USB-B  
connector on the back of the Hub.  
Important Note: The Hub must be connected to a USB 2.0-compliant host  
in order to function in high-speed mode (480Mbps data  
rate). If the Hub is connected to a USB 1.1-compliant  
host, it will operate only in low-speed or full-speed mode  
(1.5Mbps/12Mbps).  
3. Windows will now detect your Hub and install the required driver  
support. (The Windows “Install New Hardware Wizard” may prompt  
you to provide your Windows Installation CD to complete the driver  
installation process).

INSTALLATION  
Important Note: High-speed hub drivers are included with most USB 2.0  
PCI upgrade cards, and are preinstalled along with the  
PCI card drivers. If you purchased an upgrade card prior  
to the release of high-speed hub support, please check  
with your PCI card vendor for an updated USB 2.0 driver.  
The Belkin USB 2.0 driver supports all competitive cards  
based on the NEC host controller with the exception of  
Adaptec. The most recent Belkin driver is available at

CONNECTING USB DEVICES TO THE HUB  
En  
1. Plug the USB-A connector of the USB device(s) you wish to connect  
into any of the Hub’s available downstream ports.  
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of  
the device.  
Important Note: When moving a device from one port on the Hub to  
another, it may be necessary to reinstall the USB drivers  
for that device.

DETERMINING THE SPEED OF CONNECTED  
DEVICES  
1. The USB 2.0 specification includes three separate modes of data  
transmission. These are defined as low-speed (1.5Mbps), full-speed  
(12Mbps), and high-speed (480Mbps). The Belkin TetraHub is the only  
USB hub on the market today that provides a visual indication of a  
connected device’s speed. This is accomplished using proprietary  
speed indication circuitry. Each downstream port on the Hub has a  
corresponding LED that changes color according to the speed of the  
connected device as noted below.

2. In addition, the upstream port has a corresponding LED that indicates  
the speed of the computer’s USB host controller as noted below.

Note: The Hub itself will always connect to the host as either a full- or  
high-speed device, never as a low-speed device.
