You might find more and more cables hanging off from your computer these days, such as a network cable, a camera cable, or a charging cable for a MP3 player. The USB Plus Hub has a rubber Cable Catch feature on the side to prevent cables from falling off your desk. It holds it in place loosely, so you can pull the cable as needed. With the trend of proliferating USB flash memory drives and other frequently used USB devices, USB ports have turned into power outlets, and drive bays. These products need readily accessible ports and this product has 2 convenient ports on top to accommodate them.
