  • USB 2.0 transfer rates up to 480 Mbps with 12 Mbps and 1.5 Mbps fallback speeds

Four-Port Expansion for Pi Zero

This micro-USB OTG hub adds four USB 2.0 ports to a Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 or Zero W. It draws all power from the host’s OTG connection so no external supply is required. Plug-and-play operation works without drivers on Linux, Android and PCs equipped with USB 2.0. The adapter also fits a range of older Android tablets and phones listed by the supplier.

Makers Needing Multiple Peripherals

Builders who want to attach a mouse, keyboard, flash drive and camera simultaneously will benefit from the four downstream ports. Projects that demand more current than the Pi Zero’s OTG port can deliver should look elsewhere, as total device current is limited to the host capability. Users requiring faster than USB 2.0 transfer rates or ports beyond the four provided will need a different solution.

Direct OTG Connection

The hub plugs straight into the Pi Zero’s micro-USB OTG socket, leaving the board’s mini-HDMI and micro-SD slots free. It supports USB 2.0 signalling at 480, 12 and 1.5 Mbps for high-speed, full-speed and low-speed devices. Because it needs no separate power cable, the arrangement keeps cabling minimal inside tight enclosures or robotics chassis.
