Glossary

Hub (splitter)

An integrated port block for quickly connecting peripherals without cables stretching to the CPU. Most commonly found are USB-A for "classic" flash drives, dongles, and peripherals, and USB-C for modern smartphones, SSDs, and accessories; the type of connector does not equate to speed, which is determined by the interface standard: USB 2.0 up to 480 Mbps is sufficient for a mouse/keyboard, USB 5Gbps up to 5 Gbps, and USB 10Gbps up to 10 Gbps are suitable for external SSDs and card readers. Built-in hubs in desks usually are limited to USB 2.0 or USB 5Gbps, operate from the PC, and share the common channel and current between ports, so for heavy tasks, it's better to leave one high-speed port free. Charging through such a hub is possible, but it’s more like "topping up" a phone; for laptop charging, a dock with USB-C Power Delivery is needed. Common scenarios include plugging in a flash drive or card reader "on the fly", connecting a webcam for video calls, placing a wireless mouse dongle, and keeping a smartphone cable within arm's reach.

Often, the desk hub includes 3.5mm audio — separate jacks for headphones and a microphone or a combined TRRS headset jack; typically, this is a passive "extension" of the PC’s front panel (HD Audio).
