USB hub with a long cable: Maximum flexibility for your desk

We’ve long been used to treating USB hubs as a natural extension of our computers or laptops. Most hubs are designed to connect to a laptop sitting right in front of you on a desk, which is why their cables are typically around 20 cm long. But what if your desktop computer is under the desk, or your laptop sits on a stand?

That’s exactly why we developed two USB hubs that not only connect all your peripherals, but also come with a sufficiently long cable. The AXAGON HUE-S2BL and AXAGON HUE-M1AL feature a 1.2-meter cable that significantly expands placement flexibility, while offering fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports for reliable connectivity.

What can you use a long-cable hub for?

With standard USB hubs, the biggest limitation is often the short cable, which restricts where you can place them.

•    A 1.2 m cable lets you position the hub exactly where you need it.
•    Ideal for desktop PCs where USB ports are often hard to reach.
•    Perfect for laptops if you need the hub positioned further away due to cable management or ergonomics.
•    Convenient for connecting external drives.

Which USB hub should you choose?

Both models offer fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a long cable, compact dimensions, and well-spaced ports.
