Note 1:
"Self-powered hub" refers to a USB hub with an external power supply. Self-powered hubs allow a
connected USB device to draw up to 500 mA. "Root port hubs" reside in the PC USB host Controller.
The USB port(s) on your PC are root port hubs. All externally-powered root port hubs (desktop PC)
provide up to 500 mA of current for a USB device. Battery-powered root port hubs provide 100 mA or
500 mA, depending upon the manufacturer. A laptop PC that is not connected to an external power
adapter is an example of a battery-powered root port hub. If your laptop PC is constrained to the
100 mA max, use a self-powered hub.
