Does anybody have an idea about how USB2.0 hubs manage
multiple USB1.1@12Mbps devices.

I.E., a four channel USB2 hub is connected to four USB1.1 devices working
at 12Mbps. Is the hub able to convert the 4 streams to USB2 and give access
to the simultaneous aggregated 48Mbps bandwith? Or is it (as it looks like for some
hub chips) able to do this only for one USB1.1 stream at a time since it has only
one 480MPS to 12MPS conversion block ? It this case, only a total of 12Mbps is
shared between the four devices.

<Update>
I found that the Cypress hub chip CY7C65640B has four "Transaction Translator"
blocks while most other cheap hub chips have only one. Do you know hub models on the market using
this chip or another incorporating 4 Transaction Translators???

Thanks.
 

I know Belkin has some (don't know the product ID number :s) Those hubs where used by the USB-IF for certification purposes. (I think it where called tetrahubs or multi -TT or something like that)
 

You are right :D For other interested people, I found it at this address:
**broken link removed**

It is called a tetrahub as you said, ref F5U231.

Anyone else, another models known, specially in europe ?

Thx
