Elecom keeps things simple with U2H-TC410B wall socket USB hub

While there’s a place for USB hubs that double as a mousepad and calculator, it’s sometimes best to just keep things simple, which is what Elecom has thankfully done with its new U2H-TC410B “wall socket” USB hub. Contrary to what that name might suggest, however, this one doesn’t actually plug into a power outlet, but is instead designed to be mounted on a wall or the side of the desk and become a wall socket of sorts itself. Apart from that, it’s basically just your standard four-port USB 2.0 hub and, as you can see above, it’s available in your choice of black or white. Unfortunately, it’s not priced like a run-of-the-mill USB hub, with this one running a somewhat hefty $39.99.
