Belkin was founded in 1983 and launched its first smart cable product to connect Apple's first portable computer, the Apple IIc, to a printer, and has been Apple's go-to accessory brand ever since. After more than 30 years of development, Belkin has become the No. 1 selling accessories brand in the United States.
Today, Belkin has been acquired by Foxconn, and the products are also produced by Foxconn, with solid materials and guaranteed durability. Most of Belkin's hubs have power interfaces, which can stably drive mobile hard drives, but compared with other brands on the list, Belkin has obviously not invested enough in the hub category, and many models still use USB 2.0 interfaces. Even so, Belkin with Apple's aura still maintains a high price, and users who are not price sensitive can buy it overseas.
Belkin's current flagship model is the F4U073qe, which is a 4-port USB 3.0 hub with a rugged and durable housing made of aluminum alloy. Unfortunately, there are no LED indicators, and like most Belkin USB hubs, the interfaces are arranged on the side, which makes it inconvenient to plug and unplug cables, which can easily make the desktop look messy.
