- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA2992:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged.

## Description

One can never have enough socks, or USB ports. Add some more USB and Ethernet capability to your Raspberry Pi Zero or, really, any kind of tablet or computer with an OTG connector with this **USB 2.0 and Ethernet Hub**!

This handy combo-hub has 3 USB 2.0 ports, and a AX88772A Ethernet transceiver. This chipset is really common and can be used by any Linux, Mac or Windows computer. It's particularly handy for the [Raspberry Pi Zero](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-zero-w-wireless.html) which is tight on USB ports and has no Ethernet out. Adafruit did some basic tests and got 11+ MB/s transfer speeds on Adafruit's Pi Zero. Note that Ethernet draws a lot of power and you'll be looking at 280mA current draw when the hub is plugged in, even if the Ethernet itself isn't being used.

**Warning: The Ethernet chipset apparently does not work with Raspbian Bookworm! So if you're running that OS it may not show up as a network device**

[If you need a similar Ethernet hub for a computer without OTG ports, check out this product](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-2-0-and-ethernet-hub-3-usb-ports-and-1-ethernet.html)

**Note:** Additional USB cables and accessories shown above are not included but **[Adafruit have a wide variety of types and lengths in the store](https://www.adafruit.com/categories/142)!**
