Through the Sharing Hub your peripherals will function
as though it wasn't there. The idea of the hub is
to give its users a more versitile peripheral network
so that more than one PC can be used with the same
printer, scanner, or other therefore increasing work
flow. |
Testimonial
 |
I used the 4 port sharing hub to share a printer between my laptop and
PC, it couldn't be any easier to use. I didn't have
to install any
drivers,
read
an
extensive
manual
or do anything technical, this was a refreshing change.
I could see this in small office situations where
more than one PC needs to share more than 1 USB device,
it's convienient, small, and quick. When I tested
the 4 port sharing hub the was no delay between clicking
the "OK" Button and device operation. The cables
it came with made it possible for me to move it around
a bit so it was somewhat hidden, in an office setting
this is what you would want.
I certainly recommend the 4 port USB sharing hub
for your device sharing needs.
