## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA2909:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA2909:1.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. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

One can never have enough socks, or USB ports. Add some more USB and Ethernet capability to your Raspberry Pi or, really, any kind of computer 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 A+](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-model-a-256mb-ram-9724.html) or brand new [Raspberry Pi Zero](https://core-electronics.com.au/#) 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.

**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)!**
